Hi, am pretty much set on buying this head unit, however I just have a few questions.

Item

It says 'Built-in Parrot Bluetooth Module', does this mean I can get my phone (which has bluetooth duh) connected to it so I can make and receive calls whilst driving (talk into microphone and listen back through car speakers)

Has anyone bought one of these?

Kinda need a quick reply cause I've got a ebay 10% discount thing which expires in less than a day :D

if it is a BT alpine unit, then yes you can connect your phone, it comes with an external mic, and you can choose which speaker the sound will come through. i would advise against this model, as i sell alpine equipment, and havent heard of this model before, see a specialist dealer and buy a real one.

I was about to ask about this headunit as well ... is it possible you simply don't stock this item (yet) ? I'm not sure if you're infering it's a fake/copy or what.. It's on their 'Asia' web site http://www.alpine-asia.com/index.php?optio...&Itemid=275

Is there any other jap brand headunit with good bluetooth for under $300 that you would recommend ? Cheers

alpine may indeed make the unit but alpine australia is a different entity to alpine japan, it may be the case that they dont bring them into the country because they dont fit australian market or pricing structure.

oddly enough, i'd reccomend a sony MEX-BT250 i think is the model, i usually sell them for about 300-350, good little unit, mic is built into the face so easy to fit... if you're planning to run subs the preout voltage is a little poor, so you might want to look at either a clarion CX509 or CZ609 the 509 being a single din bt unit with sub control + 3 preouts, the 609 being double din, bt, triple preouts, sub control, and changing colour. 509 rrp for about 450, and the 60 is about 499..

the only other unit is the alpine cde-104bti for about 499 with the same features... all nice units, comes down to budget and preference, drop into your local autobarn or audio store and have a look and ask to be shown the differences.

remember, ask nicely for a discount too... but dont expect one off any alpine stock, it doesnt happen...

I work at JB and we stock the 103BT head unit. I've sold plenty and haven't had one come back yet. The 104 and 103 is exactly the same just different colour.

As for "ten four", its a great unit mate. Have had some good responses from it.

What phone do you have? The BT is by Parrot and they work with 99% of phones. Even iPhone funny enough.

Also mate, watch ya warranty when buying from ebay.

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.

      Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol

      remote oil cooler hose size, 8,10 or an12?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.

      Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
