Hey all, im looking at getting a decent DVD HU, pre-requisits include obviously

- DVD playback

- "Giga" mp3 dvd (a dvd full of mp3's)

- has a USB function

- I want it to be double din as i don't want it to pop out over the ac controls

- naturally a good price is great

I came across this JVC unit (KW-AVX800) which to me seems to be quite good, if anyone has any suggestions or input, id like to hear it, here is a link to the site i may purchase it from.

Hey mate,

I was looking at getting the JVC AVX-810, the price on the website is a lill high though, JB do them for $840 cash money:D

The difference between the JVC AVX-800 and JVC AVX-810 is the 810 has a detachable face plate. Still the same price ($840)

I heard good things about the 810, but from what I have seen the screen quality on the Sony XAVW1 Double Din is allot better. Go into JB and play with the 2, they are both screen adjustable. Tilt them both to the max they can go, and then look from the top and bottom you will see that the Sony’s picture remains sharp and clear while the JVC at full tilt will loses clarity and sharpness as well as colour.

From what I have read and seen, bang for your buck (considering they both have roughly the same futures) is the Sony. You can get them at $800 from JB cash money (a mate got his for $740 so depends on which JB you go to) plus they come with a 2 year warranty.

I have 2 friends which have the Sony Double Din (1 IS IN A Subaru Impreza 2008, and the other is in a 200sx s15) and they love it, the only problem I saw was that when you make a DVD music CD and put too many songs it takes a while for it to read them!

Hope that helped,

Vlad

Ok cool, thanks for that man,

The thing that is pushing me to the JVC unit though is that it supports A hard drive throught USB

in one of those vids, the guy explains that even though the specs for the unit say that it only supports up to a 10gb HD, he has a 160gb drive in his glove box and it runs perfectly fine, so i'd really like to do the same.

On the JB site they have the JVC KWAVX710 for $849 and the sony XAVW1 for $798 but they don't list the JVC AVX800 or AVX810

    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
    • Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?
