Hey guys,

I've been out of touch for a while, but i'm getting a new car soon and i'm tempting the idea of doing away with my Clarion DXZ835MP and getting a true iPod compatible unit.

Current, I play my iPod off the AUX in line on my current unit, but would like to control the music entirely from the head unit itself.

What I want to know, is what are my options for affordable (ie. under $500, as low as possible while keeping good quality sound) deck that will support this (including the price of any adaptor I need to buy to run the iPod).

The only requirements I have for the unit is 4 RCA outs, with as much voltage on the lines as possible.

Any suggestions? Or should I just keep my current unit?

I have clarion ipod adapter. Which allows you to control ipod via the clarion headunit.

if the DXZ835MP is a 2006 model headunit, then it will work.

due to other payments, i wont be purchasing an ipod, so if you're interested in purchasing it off me shoot us a PM.

My Kenwood KDC5029 or whatever has an optional ipod adapter for it... I think a few in that model range do it too. I picked my HU up for $200 about a year ago (second hand, but unused)

Optional adapter is about $70US, and I can only seem to source it on the US ebay. (not that I want it)

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
