Only complaints I have are that it doesn't auto-scroll the track name/artist etc -u have to hold down a button for it. Oh and the steering wheel remote sometimes does not "talk" to the headunit.

Other than that, 4V rca's, seperate sub control, sexy face and playing MP3's is pretty darn good.

I'm glad I spent the money tho. :D

Yeah I've got a Pioneer DEH-P8450 MP. I also agree with Tool's comments, my only real gripe is the scrolling functionand it is a little slow to load mp3's compared to the other deck I was tossing up against (Alpine FantomFace). It is very customisable, but really havent had much of a play with it yet or got the CD-TEXT to work on some of my burnt cd's. I presume it has it?

It is a schmick looking unit with a funky display and it plays MP3's so i'm happy! Still one of the best MP3 decks on the market in my opinion..

NuGGeT I got it on ebay :uh-huh: from this guy he is really good it only took about 5 days to get here using FedEx and you can track it all the way.

He hasn't got one at the moment but he has a very nice 03 Kenwood D Mask for $555 and ad about another $100 for the shipping.

Hope it helps :P

yeah i've got one of those as well - awersome head unit, pretty much the same complaints as the other guys though, couldn't be happier with it and i can justify spending the money that i did cause it really is worth it!!! paid $1050 from autobarn at one of their sales a few months ago... i was pretty happy with that price then as it was something like $500 bucks off rrp. In relation to why it takes so long to load mp3's, i'm pretty sure it's got something to do with the fact that it - the headunit - rebuilds the mp3 or more the wave of the song to give a clearer song - was told this by the rep from autobarn when i enquired about the new alpine 2003 headunits and he said that they do the same thing which is why they also take a fair while to load a mp3 song. I final thing... i wish it had some more screensavers though... they are so cool :-)

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
