Title: New Radio
Post by: Sipey on 28 February 2008, 14:27:56: Well, after a week of frustration, here are a couple of pictures of the new radio taken from my phone.

First of all, a slight modification to the facia

They are as cheap as chips mate. I didn't want to pay a lot as only keeping the car for 12 months and it will most likely stay in the car when I sell it. Not only that, the previous owner had removed the Philips radio and replaced it with a non functioning 10 year old Kenwood p.o.s.

Anyway, features are:

DVD - multi region inc copies
Sat Nav
Bluetooth
T.V inc Freeview
Reversing Camera
Radio - full frequency
Also takes SD card as well as having a usb and aux in jack
3 pre outs
2 video outs
1 video in
Mosfet 4x45W

Quality of plastic equals the quality of Vauxhall plastic - probably why the colour match is so good, but it works well.

Sat Nav pics up signal quickly, Bluetooth is really very good and the DVD player is excellent.

I have a 5 channel 1,000 watt amp and 2 10 inch subs in the boot so sounds pretty nice too.

Out of interest, would you pay loads of money simply for a badge when internals are probably made by a select few companies in Japan/China anyway? It's the same as Samsung and Sony TV's.

I was thinking about a full 7" display radio to replace my OEM unit but those suckers are around 500your money and about 750USD...

Here is the thing off their website...

That's not the same thing as he has fitted to the dash at all. It doesn't have SAT/NAV and has many more bttons on it. The "DVD" logo is on the otehr side too.

I'm still intrigued as to what he's got fitted there.

Post by: GastronomicKleptomaniac on 01 March 2008, 16:57:58: I still want a double-DIN CD-DVD-satnav wotsit, so it looks factory-fitted. Kenwood have one that gets high ratings... but I don't have a spare £700...

Failing that, a nice Bose/ CID setup...
