Need Suggestions ... Head Unit with Audio Inputs for Ipod on face


Recommended Posts

my Aiwa CDC-MP3/WMA-2 (One of the first large scale production car MP3 players made in the world, has a stealth face which turns itself inside out to a blank black face to match your interior, and only available in the US, basically imported it to AUS) has a stereo jack input for AUX on the front. You could get one of them form the US if you you'r real desperate. I just had to be one of the first kids on the block with an MP3 player int he car (back in 2001) plus I didn't want the hassle of carrying a stereo face.

Most chinese generic stereo's these days have AUX inputs on the front.

If not get a mad quality stereo, then drill 2 holes in the side of your center console (right under your passenger side glove box) and go to jaycar n get 2 RCA female mounts, then wire them to the aux inputs of the stereo. It'll lok nice n clean and you can plug it in n it won't get in the way of the gearshift n stuff. Oh and it won't look ugly on the front of your screen.

Hmmm, so far the other suggestions I've had were both JVC or Aiwa, dont much think the JVC's look too hot tho, how are the Aiwa's ?

I guess I wish Alpine would come out with something nice liek this :)

You can still get an Alpine (i have a 7893B and am intending to use the rear AUX input and have a pair of RCA's feeding in from the back to a stereo plug to the ipod - (havent done it yet)

yeah you can use any stereo with AUX inputs at the back, just get a cable and drill 2 holes make a flush mount on the passenger side (where the feet are) for the plugs, and then when you need to plug in your Ipod, just plug em into those.

Its sort of like a hard mounted extension.

I would recommend the JVC also.

But yeah, you could use any HU with rear AUX, just run some leads.

Could be a bit fiddly if its not close enough to use though. eg on the passenger side.

Does your Ipod have a remote??

    • Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.
    • I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.
    • I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.
    • From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.
    • They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
