Anyone have a double din installed or have any recommendations? Anything I need to consider when installing one of these into the car?

Might have to save up for this one...

Alpine INA-W900E installed in my GT-R

* NAVTEQ in-dash GPS - very detailed - large screen

* DVD or Video CD or Music CD

* USB

* Plays Windows Media

* MP3

* AAC

* iPod/iPhone Connect with display of which songs are coming up next as well as details of song playing

* AUDYSSEY Multeq XT

* Dolby

* dts 2.0

* Bluetooth

* Parrot

* Auto dimming display when lights are turned on yaddayadda

Someone has been selling 1 or 2 in F/S section as I recall.

Downside was, it took 2 hrs to install + an extra guy to help out now and then

Older model brand name units seem to go much cheaper over in the US than they do locally, but a question sapphiregraphics might have the answer to, how different is the US FM band to ours? Are we likely to miss out on any stations by buying a US headunit?

The US fm bands are the same as OZ, in japan they use a different freq modulation. which is why jap cars with jap radios have band expanders

japanese radios go from 76–90 MHz

Just about Everwhere else 87.5 to 108.0MHZ

some older russian countries had another band 65.8–74 MHz but don't think you will find a decent radio from russian..haha

it gets very confusing but it works on a sub carrier, which is why you can sometimes hear stations off the normal freq range. depending on weather etc.

in usa we used to pick up a radio station in finland on weird weather days, , and it is nearly half a world away. its called Radio wave propagation

Explanation of how it works

oh and in some UK countries they plan on shutting off FM analog transmissions in 2015 so DAB will it. but the world ends in 2012 anyhow ...haha

I'm actually after something very similar, except in a single DIN. I have a M35 Stagea with the single DIN gauges, so I'd prefer to keep the gauges and replace the deck with another single DIN.

The only unit I've found with my desired bluetooth, iPod, and DVD is a JVC AVX-77 (http://www.ryda.com.au/JVC-KD-AVX77-In-Dash-DVD-Monitor-p/kdavx77.htm). Ryda are cheapest at $800, but I'm not 100% on the completely touch screen interface.

Does anyone know of anything else?

Alpine is so sexy

Is it face-detachable?

or is there any 2-din headunit with face-detachable?

Umm...

don't think so. can't find it.

You can adjust the monitor viewing angle - cool ergonomically

The verticle perimeter is brushed titanium look, so it perfectly matches the R34 GT-R console.

Picking up one of these from JB tomorrow :D:D

Hopefully it fits ok as it appears to be fairly bulky at the back. Normally I would do it myself but if I get a 'pro' to do it least I get the warranty. Anyone had fitments done by JB?

If only Chris' workshop was closer >_<

Tons of features on the JVC unit > so if the picture is clear and it functions without any glitches, you'll be very happy.

JB installed a d/din Pioneer unit in a Japanese daily we had, it he (at Penrith) did a good job with no console scratches.

sonnyQ are you getting the 30% discount???

how much is it???

my plans of alpine w407 have fallen thru cos the USA store ... has... umm..

you know the US currency conversion how us aussies are like "yeah woo shop up BIG"

well .. this also means their buy-in price has exploded in a huge way...

they ran out of stock of the unit, and to re-fill the stock means their buy in price is now $520 USD

poor buggers :(

so they wont be stocking it any more..

so can you tell me a bit about your new unit pleasE??? what's it sound like?

clint,

come for a drive. JB tend to use whoever they can get. so if its a ex strathfield employee with a year under the belt then that's what you get. food for thought.

guys, getting it for $630 :cheers: with the ipod video lead thrown in. I have to get it from the Ipswich store, ONLY store in QLD that has it in stock as it is a discontinued model. That is an amazing price for the features on this unit.

Terry - picture qual and touch interface are the only feautures that remain to be seen, but JVC is usually good right?

eps - sale is ony until sunday in my area, so get onto it today!

Chris - i'm not in a big rush to install it so I might come for a squirt, i'll let you know

that shop has been around forever. I like the meets he organizes where anyone can jump on the db meter, although haven't seen one in ages.

it just depends how long I can bear to see the unit sitting on my desk doing nothing :whistling:

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.

      This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
