Totally agree with you mate. I'd be willing to give the ebay ones a go. I am SURE that they will not break any faster than a brand name one. Why would it.

whats the fasination with the number 5 who says one from ebay wont last 5 years. Seriously like 1500-2000$ dvd units from the top name brand all cost the same price to manufacture give or take a little bit so dont kid yourself. You can buy a rolex in bali with the battery that charges itself of your movements for 30 bucks but of corse it isnt a rolex but they can still put that technology in it for like fraction of the cost. make you wonder how can these "big names" charge so much for there product. Anyway the ebay one will work fine just a matter of if you want to be cool and spend 2000 on a pioneer head unit just so you can say ohh mate i have a 2k headunit or you can just spend 350 and be happy because it does all that the pioneer unit does and more. not sure about the output of the pioneer one but who cares i would rather save 1000 bucks

That is the funniest thing i ever heard.

Yeah go ahead and waste your money on the EBAY one, but untill you compare the build quality on a brand name unit you wont understand what you are getting yourself into.

Now these days there are screens way cheaper than $1500 locally and brand name too with 3 year warranty. I know of one just under $1000.

We see the EBAY rubbish all day every day with people thinking a $200 unit is the same as a brand name one who took years of research and development.

Then go ahead and buy it. That is your choice to make. But please dont kid yourself that a Real ROLEX is made in China using cheap labour.

But i can assure you, a brand name well researched and developed unit, has MUCH MUCH better Sound quality, ergonomically much better designed and will have a much longer life than the $250 one, and has a lot more features. All Brand name equipment screens and DVD players are made in Japan, only their entry level CD players are made in offshore factories owned by the brand.

what you guys saying are all right non of you wrong.. it is true brand name has much better quality and feature. but.. depends on consumers whoever buy whatever product, if consumer satisfy with that, thats it.

not saying the peoples are studpid buying 1k product or $250 rubbish. no one can say that shit.

And you really think a ROLEX for $30 is as good as the real thing. Man you are dillusional.

clearly iam not saying that just saying that technology is avalible at a fraction of the price, it doesnt take a genius to put a watch together and same goes with stereo. I think having a 2000$ head unit is excessive when you will be running all your speakers through amps and even if your not the untrained ear cannot tell the diffrence between the two but the untrained eye can see the diffrence in your bank statement after you spend 2000$ or 350$ to listen to cds in your car. If we all wanted perfect sound in our cars we should just all drive around with our ipods in our ears but oh wait that will take away from the oh look/forcable listen (even if you dont want to you cannot get away from it as i drive past with my amps on 11) at my sick stereo installation factor

Remember the saying RUBBISH IN - RUBBISH OUT. Your amplifiers can help with headroom but what effect does that have on Sound Quality?

The Headunit is where its at unfortunately, and if you dont get this right then you spending bazillion dollars on amps and speakers its useless.

What you are telling me your $250 DVD headunits carry a 24 bit Mosfet Burr Brown chip? I seriously doubt it mate. There is a reason why there are different processors on the market and unfortunately I own a $30 Rolex, which stopped working the minute i left Malaysia, so your analogy doesnt really seem fit.

And another thing about sound quality, SURELY your expertise goes as far as knowing that the Compressed Ipod format is the worst for SOUND QUALITY.

As i said if you are happy with a $30 Rolex and wanna pose and show off then go ahead and make yourself feel good. But dont try to justify your reasons for buying it.

hey, i brought up this thread, cos i actually bought a double din DVD + TFT monitor unit off ebay. the brand names Belcanto and altogether, inlcuding freight, it cost $450. I gotta say, i am really surprsied with the quality. It is very clear and has given me no problem at all. Yes it doesnt look as sleek as a Alpine or a JVC unit but for a fraction of the cost, i found it to be really worth it. Installation wasnt a problem as well as everything was in english and was very straightforward.

had my cheapie double din in the stagea for nearly 12 months now it cost me 450.i didnt expect the bose type quality some of you guys want but it is just as good a sound as the so called brand name researched headunit that nissan decided to install.when i got the car the cd in it was rooted as usual i havent owned a nissan with a stock headunit that the cd dosnt skip if you run over a pebble.the cheapie performs well its dvd cd mp3 has reversing cam input and gps input both of which i have utilised.for my money im verry happy with my purchace.

Where can you get a jvc one for <600? brand new? I'll buy one tomorrow.

Like even in ricefield car radios, you're looking at over 1k for even a single din

JB- HIFI, i went in there 3 months ago and they offered it to me, might have been old stock cos it WASN'T touch screen but who cares

so on your bike son... go get yourself a double din

Gps input - I'm very interested in that. Can you please elaborate on this further?

e.g. is there a special plug that you use to connect the gps to it? do all gps have that plug? what does the plug look like?

do you get touchscreen control of the gps too?

Cheers

Chris

you need to buy the specific one for the unit, its like marrying the dvd player to the gps unit for it to work 100% together

its like when you get a screen, and you have their TV tuner, you need the specific tuner to plug into the screen for it to work correctly, same as the GPS unit in order to incorporate the touch screen sound and all that stuff on your tv screen.

That is the funniest thing i ever heard.

Thats why i bought the $1000 pioneer 9850bt cd player, go for the best and have no problems, has been sent back twice and the blue tooth hands free (one of the reasons for buying it) dos'nt connect to my nokia properly and always drops out when i can get it to connect, no fix for that, pioneer are blaming nokia for the problem, although the old blue ant hands free i use in the truck is older than my phone and has no problem connecting or keeping the connection, but the head unit that is around the same age as my phone cant keep a connection and its nokia's fault??

If i had bought a $250 ebay unit i would expect this shit and not be so pissed off but when you buy the top of the line product you expect better than this, wont be buying pioneer again.

guys i changed my mind... i bought ebay one and installed.....

yes they had reason why they are so cheap...

the engine noise.... the dvd player doesnt produce enough power... not the wattage they produce.. the voltage they produce...

they made of cheap fu$kn wires or components..

i tried filters through ignition wire and everything to get rid of the noise... cant.. just cant.. because it has problem with deck

never buy cheap electrical stuff from ebay...yes it does go wrong....

~!@#$%^&

Hence why we are discussing units used for CAR AUDIO PURPOSES only and to play music with no inherent noise problems and malfunctions.

If u wanted Bluetooth perhaps a phone kit would have been a better option.

    • At least yours have parkour down pat. One of mine will still trip over his own shadow and fall over... He's a special type of cat... Ha ha ha
    • The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
