Hey guys,

just wondering if anyone has experimented with those multi systems found on ebay? If coupled together with some decent speakers eg Alpine Type R, would it be "as good" as the more expensive brand name ones offered by JVC, Pioneer etc? Its tempting to try at only $350 for the unit versus $1,000+ for the others. Thanks.

Iv bought and installed several of these cheaper ones off ebay. Eonon ones.

Iv had a coupla glitches in 1 but apart from that they have been pretty decent. id reccomend the double din as the trouble i had with the other single din screens was the slide/motorized bit not working well.

The 1091 model iv found to be great- albeit it is a cheap option to high end items and doesnt have large amounts of sound customisation...

JVC, crap , worse then ebay radios

Ebay, hit or miss quality . but for the price versus features is hard to beat ??, BUT !! lousy graphics on the display, some Freq. output specs are way off base. noisy motors ,some shipped with 2006 GPS maps trial versions only ?? but warranty service seems to be ok.

(some cars featured in professional sound offs use them, so not as bad as people think.... if your using outboard amps, preamp, processors)

single din units (foldout LCD) are trouble, steer clear of them

a lot of name brands have lowered prices to compete with ebay radios in the double din market. so do your homework first

Have seen a few people with similar units that where bought of ebay...and i have to say im still sitting on the fence after having researched a little bit myself. From what i can tell if your lucky enough to get one that works then the features are great however im not one clued in enough to comment on sound quality.

Two of my good friends both have one of these units, one is very happy with his purchase and the other was DOA and has yet to resolve the issue.

My 2cents? probably not worth the trouble/risk, stick with what you know is good and chances are you wont have to worry about it down the track :blink:

      spot the stagea

      By AnimalGarage · Posted

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).

      ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.

      OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
