New Head Unit .

[BASHO]

I'm thinking of putting in a new head unit but haven't a clue what is any good out of the seemingly infinite choice out there and taken as a given that 95% of the guts will probably be MIC anyway .

I'm wanting some thing that is easy to opperate when I'm on the move, must have MP3 and USB port at the front, MOFSET and plenty of WRMS.

I would have bought the factory DD six stacker @ $380.00 on special at the local dealers but it had no MP3 capability or USB port.

Clarion used to do a range of single DIN units that were good but they've upgraded if that is actualy the correct term and I'm not sure about the new stuff.

--And not to much money either

how much do you wish to spend? $500? (look at the clarion CX609 if that is your budget.)

Agreed, very sexy, easy to use, cheap for what you get too!

Thanks for that , looks like a nice thing, I googled and fleebayed this to have a look and found I can get one to my door from the US for a little over AU $ 300.00 including shipping, the question is will a US delivered unit work in Aus ?

not if you wish to listen to the cricket. AM will not work properly.

Thanks for that, the question then becomes is the cricket worth $200.00 to me ?

may not be but the 3 year dealer installed warranty might be of interest. clarion oz track serial numbers and they will not fix an O/S unit.

sounds like what you are after is a pioneer with a usb port. their mosfet is high and usually they put out about 50 wattts rms per channel, but most head units these days do that

I would look for one with bluetooth capability as it kills two birds with one stone on the mobile phone front and if it is Iphone compatible it will let you bluetooth the Ipod function to the HU (if you have one).

I installed a Kenwood unit into the Stagea and Mrs Wolv is happy that is syncs up when she gets in the car and she good to go, no charging up separate BT units.

No doubt other manufacturers have similar units out there for between $250 - $400
