Eclipse. Nothing else. Thats my oppinion anyway.

Thanks for everyones replies.

I have started having a look and there are lots of options.

Eclipse has caught my attention and there is a model with 5V preout for the mid $350.

However it has 1 bit DAC (including the Pioneer 6850)and some other brands can have 24 bit D/A

Have also been offered a Pioneer 5850 for $538 with extra waranty.

This model has Burr Brown D/A ???? 6.5v preouts, BMX and Listening Pos stuff.

Picked up this one at Christmas time

Best sound output. Good old Dolby Digital

Cost me $750 but i think its back up to over $1000

This unit has everything! Even plays my Dual Layered DVD's filled with 8.5gig of mp3's :bomb_ie:

If you want a cheap HU that still does most stuff

i got a JVC (cant remember model number)

from JB for $250 (rrp is $320 or something but i

talked them down and paid cash). It plays MP3/WMA and has

sub/front/rear rca outputs.

Does everything thing i need it to.

Just after some opinions of what are the good Headunits at the moment.

Prices roughly if you know as well. What brands are best too.

After MP3 capability.

I used to really love alpine because I had a kick ass system in my last car, but since i put a pioneer in my current one i've been quite happy with it. i think it's a 3551?? Bought around christmas last year for $369 and it's a pretty decent deck with mp3 and an equaliser and remote

Yeah, my first HU was a JVC. Was one of the cheapest MP3 HU's out when the technology was release.

I have a full alpine system now, and while I am happy with it, I wouldn't say I wouldn't buy anything else...

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
