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

Thanks for the replies.

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

I have seen the JVC KWAVX746NAV within my budget aswell as a SONY.

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

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
