I took the old unit out of my 172 and installed it in the same place in the 182. It cost me £86 for the cable from Renault and ten minutes to fit. Very easy to do.

 

[Tom]

Fitted a 9833 alpine HU.

1 cd = 800mb of music.

average track size 4mb.

Who needs a changer.

 

[Lee]

Ill just add, I wish I hadnt botherd now to be honest. I should have just splashed out on a new HU and changer. LOL

 

[Pete]

Ditch the standard hu its really poor in comparisan to an aftermarket unit.

Cheers mate, think you may have a point. But happens to the display at the top? .. does it just show outside temp and thats it once you change the hu?

Still would like to know more info about the changer situation though.

 

[Pete]

Just shows time and temp.

Tom - Clean your interior its a disgrace!

 

[Tom]

The display reverts back to time and temp.

BUT! the display/stalk interface is now out for that unit.

You can even black out the radio display and have the std one on byitself

shut up. its clean now.

it was the f**king tree outside my house! dropping sh*te!

 

[bigmouk]

you still have standard speakers tom?

 

[Tom]

Yup. i might change them when i can be assed.

they are suprisingly ok.

 

[bigmouk]

so how much you pay for the head unit?

 

[Tom]

£320 i think.

it was a while ago.

 

[bigmouk]

have you got your phone connected up with it?

if you have, did you have to buy anything extra? cradle etc..??

 

[Tom]

the phone is a seperate kit i got for under £100.

its wired into the car and plays through the front speakers

 

[bigmouk]

nice one, thanks for all the info tom.

just found 9833 for 250 delivered on ebay and 9835 for 290. mrs will probably kill me but i think i might order the 9835.

 

[Tom]

Make sure its the europe spec 9833/35.

the us ones dont work.

 

[bigmouk]

looks like the cheaper ones are from the US. thanks for the warning.

where did you buy yours from?

 

[stuartturrell]

dont any of you get annoyed with the gaps in between tracks, especially listening to mix cds with mp3s?????

 

[FiXX]

you dont get gaps if burned correctly

 

[stuartturrell]

how do you mean burned correctly?

I use Nero 6 using decent cdrs/cdrws and i have used them in 2x sony mp3 players and 1x blaupunkt and they all have gaps on all my 20 odd mp3 cds!

 

[bigmouk]

Anyone suggest best place to buy please online (except ebay of course).

cheers

Probably a bit off topic but i got the same phone and Holder,Might sound a daft question but how have u fixed the holder to the dash as i want to do exactly the same but dont want anything that when you tak it off its gonna leave a mark,Ive tried a few ways but because the p900s pretty heavy its not to safe.



Thanks

cd changers take longer to swap cds

the phone holder is held on by velcro.
