[davo172]

After market headunits what ya got ?? Lets see some pics and verdicts please ??

 

[icebergclio]

heres mine shortly to be replaced with a similar bluetooth unit thats virtually the same spec

One of these in Listerine.

If it only had DAB, it'd be ideal, but I did get it on the very cheap.

Only niggle is that every so often the bluetooth wont hook up to iPhone (5), but, then the same iPhone is connected to the iPod lead so that's probably the problem. Would be good if it could stream audio over bluetooth, but I wont complain.

Actually, this reminds me, I need to get a small CD wallet for keeping a few random films in, in case weather turns poor during summer coastal-runs.

EDIT - I do also have an old Alpine that I've still not got round to off-loading. With all the clio wires and 30-pin wire. Best single-DIN unit I've had.

this is what i've got in the polo with the 2 usb ports routed into the glove box also linked to a ktp-445

*awesome Alpine double-din*

I like that. A lot.

My iLead goes to the centre console in Listerine but there's only one USB and a front jack.

How do you find the power-pack amp? Really wanted one on my Alpine but always had other things to drop £100 on.

I'm about to buy one of these..

That Alpine is awesome. I wish Clio's had space for a double din Pioneer Deh-x8500dab will be my next purchase

 

[Dink]

the alpine power pack is epic for it's size volume on 20 and it downs out my milltek with ease on standard speakers

i used to have a iva-w520r but didn't like the sticky out lip and limited depth adjustment

Another vote for Alpine here.

My CDA-117ri is fully hooked up to the standard display unit.

The stalk controls still work, and also control my iPhone 5 which is linked via a cable in the glovebox (and a cheapo lighning adapter).

The sound quality is absolutely top drawer, helped by the Genesis amp & uprated components I'm running.

 

[Lal B3N]

Running this in mine, absolutely fantastic.

 

[JaredHasNoBrain]

Keep mine nice and stock but a Connect2 add on so I can use my phone with AUX

 

[Goodj]

Alpines with no visible disc-slot are the top-end of single-DIN, opinio-fact.

 

[Typhoon]

As similar as I could find, mine also has the USB slot on it.

 

[Ade182]

Pioneer DEH-8400BT.

Wanted one that matched the dash lights, plus iPhone compatible. Has tons of inputs (Bluetooth calls/ Bluetooth audio/2 x USB/SD Card (upto 32GB)/MP3 CD.

:approve:

A what? I have kept it all standard but always want to connect my iphone

This is on my shopping list....Pioneers rule

not since burr brown was sold to Ti.

 

[davo172]

Anyone got a parrot asteroid fitted in a clio ?

 

[J.B.]

Have this in mine - Alpine IDA-X001. Love it, except that the official Alpine cable doesn't support album artwork and it loses your place in the artist list when you press back. This means you have to scroll FOREVER.

It's much better just to use the USB > iPod type cable, instead of the proprietary Alpine plug > Ipod cable.

Edit: What is up with the attached image thing on this board? So frustrating. The image below is the X100, the slightly newer version of mine.

WHAT IS THIS???

 

[Matt Cup]

WHAT IS THIS???

Sony dsx-s100

 

[Goodj]

Media player with an in-unit device holder. Brilliant idea

Exactly, who listens to CDs nowadays anyway? Plus saves messing running a cable to the glove box.

 

[Dink]

just a shame it's made by sony

 

[Gavin.]

This. Horrible sound quality.

 

[Matt Cup]

Don't care too much to be honest, if I wanted sq I'd put my 9855 in there but as this is useful it'll do.

I'm tempted by one of these..

[Dan...]

JVC - Clio by Dan Jenks, on Flickr

I have one of these - JVC KD-R331

I think it is quite good in terms of sound quality for its price. I like the fact it has a front and a rear aux port, I've managed to feed a cable from the rear port to a gap near handbrake which keeps wires out of the way. Far better head units out there though

LOL

Would you recommend one of these then.. http://caraudiosecurity.com/cde-178bt-cd-usb-receiver-bluetooth-app-direct-tuneit

I've got an alpine with Tuner List display/stalk lead Im not using anymore...and 30-pin lead

Oh, it's a proper alpine, no exposed cd slot.

Anyone got this ?

 

[bozothenutter]

[bozothenutter]

I managed to pick up the correct adapter (APF-D102RE) from the For Sale section. Quite lucky I think.

No imprint for me, the ICE funds ran out, but next on the list is definitely an under-seat sub. How far away is Christmas?

 

[snowey172]

not since burr brown was sold to Ti.

Agreed my old pioneer deh 8600 sounded awesome even had 6v pre out wish I hadn't sold it.

damn, need to find me that cable then....just seen some prices here in europe and they range from €85 to €130!!!!

I have the imprint btw....the software is really crappy, and i'm getting a strange result where the soundfield is skewed to the left....sound qualityy is very good though!
