I have been looking for a while and my eclipse is starting to frustrate me(when plaing from usb it swithes back to radio when you turn the car off). I am chasing a double din with GPS, DVD & USB playability.

I have seen the Clarion NX509A at soundmaster for $800.

If there is anything better in my price range($800-$1000) please let me know, im about to take the plunge

I have not found much out there with gps under a grand, all suggestions are welcome.

Ive found my new head unit

Just waiting for it to come in.

Im going a bit above budget with a Blau new york 800.

Thanks for the replies

Yep. I'm in the same situation - I too bought a Blaupunkt NY 800, still waiting for mine too. Spec wise it seems like a pretty cool system.

I have got the new head unit and its installation time..

I opened the box and i think i need a pro. I have done quite a few before but this car is my other baby and i dont want to get it wrong.

If anyone knows a good installer on the central coast (nsw) let me know.

I just need a basic install using existing setup and exchanging my single din for a double din with gps

Head unit and new ecu have been in for a while now and its time to update the front speakers and get a 4 channel amp.

The blau looks the goods but sound is a bit poor

I listen to all types of music from rammsten to radiohead

All the wiring is there from the previous owner so hoping to get a quality sound for about $5-600?

Any advice is welcome and acted apon

    • Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.
    • I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box 
    • So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.
    • Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo   
    • Very hard to make out what you mean, is it the squarish hole with redline shockproof (probably) under it? Is that pic from on top of the engine with the firewall to the left of pic and engine to the right? Either way, spray the area liberally with degreaser and try again, maybe circle the part you are worried about
