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 :D

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

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 ?

:(

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

Thanks mate , any particular model ? -- I'll have a sus at Ryda and see if theres anything in the bargain bin :P

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

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
