Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: Single DIN CD with bluetooth and iPod?

« on: 09 March 2008, 18:23:56 »

I think that I'm going to have to drop the requirement of CD player, it gave up and switched back to FM after a few sharp bumps.  

Might do an SD card or something.  The iPod thing is neat in concept, but nowhere to mount it . . .

All the pioneer stuff they do...

there is now an ipod interface that goes straight to the back of most there better stereo's, remotes all sorts, the bluetooth interface is expensive...

So get a lower spec HU with Bluetooth built in, add the remote and ipod adaptor, and jobs done!

They even do an underseat subwoofer   -   could be tempted for that myself!

This one looks promising;

Ive a pioneer bt-55 that does all that, outdated now but they still do something similar.
Talks to steering and mid
choice of 10 illumination colours to match the car
aux in - so 3.5mm jack, no fancy ipod interface

Found a Pioneer P7000BT in the US with everything, but it doesn't do Euro FM and can't find anything similar here.

I would also consider aux in.

As mentioned, this is not for the miggy so steering wheel controls and MID don't apply.  Want a remote.

Not for miggy, but what is a good aftermarket single DIN CD radio with bluetooth handsfree, iPod, and preferably a remote control?  All in one kind of thingie.  Not more expensive than necessary for decent quality and theft resistant would be nice.

TIA!

The battery terminal was broken on mine.  Worth a look.

I literally threw the standard headunit away the moment I got the car and installed a Blaupunkt Woodstock DAB52, hanging out of the back of that I have a Blaupunkt Compact Drive unit with either a 1gb or 4gb microdrive in AND I have an aux 3.5mm input lead for my ipod if that wasn't enough....not forgetting that it also plays mp3 cd's too....

If I had just a basic stereo I'd agree about swapping out.  I have Bose with CD changer, phone, and Sat Nav.  Only thing worth adding is iPod, happy enough with the rest of it that I'm not going to spend a wad of cash replacing it.

I will keep an eye on the Harmon Kardon thing if it does Bluetooth phones though.  Good, but not completely useful to have a built in phone if it is on a separate number.  :-?

I use a tape adapter, sounds as good as the CD changer.  I haven't liked iTrip et al before, but haven't tried in miggy.  Have used fm modulators before.  Work fine, but no easier or better than tape adapter.  I only end up using the iPod on long trips, too fussy for short trips and I have a CD changer - even though it skips a lot.

Is there a seperate speaker for the phone mounted in the passenger footwell?

That's for the Sat Nav...

Nah, that's the 0.1 of the 6.1 surround system.

Assuming yours is the same as mine;

The on/off button is on the top left of the main selector knob, says 0/1

The bass and treble are set independently for each function; radio, tape, CD

I have the codes for mine.

I don't think you can eject the Sat Nav CD from the head unit, so maybe issue is with the Sat Nav unit in the boot.

I am going to Cornwall this weekend and don't want to be without sound.

I know its got the phone so it'll be the CCRT700.  What's the sound quality like on the Bose systems?

Sound quality is quite good for a factory system.  Better that some other cars with Bose, worse than some.  Amp is under the parcel shelf.

Has buttons on the front, sound comes out?  














Looks like a standard tape radio.  CD changer is in the boot.

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / CD changer getting worse about skipping

« on: 07 March 2007, 18:35:06 »

99 w/ 152K, so CD changer has been used a lot.  It is getting worse about randomly skipping, although this may be more on CDR's than original CDs.  What about plugging in an iPod instead?  Would that be cheaper than a new CD changer?  (I currently use the iPod on a tape adapter which works well.)  I do like using the CD changer for short trips since radio reception is not good around here, and the iPod is a pain for short trips.
