CCR 2006
« on: 13 July 2010, 19:58:47 »
Having a slight problem with it - it skips a millisecond now and then when playing CD's.
Doesn't matter if the CD is new or copied, but it's starting to irritate me now.
Probably a nightmare to fix (if it is at all possible), so with that in mind, I managed to find a fascia adaptor for a single DIN head unit at Billing for a mere fiver (rude not to, really!).

Bearing in mind the steering wheel controls, the MFD and the fact I'd like a head unit with a 3.5 mm jack input, what would you guys recommend?

Not JVC cos I think JVC car stuff is bloody terrible! :-/

I've got a single din Alpine 9854R, very impressed. Looks ok not too chav-me, 3.5mm input with tray handy for iPod/iPhone.

It also makes the standard speakers sound much, much better!

oh the display has a black background with white text, unlike most which are white backlit making it too bright at night. Buttons light up orange too

Very reasonable.
Just plug 'n' play - the MFD and steering wheel buttons will work with it?

Steering interface is available as an extra, patch lead shown on the link, and if you look at teh lead, you can then select the appropriate vehicle interface.

No, Clarion do not support the MFD, and the few models that do from Sony, Kenwood and Alpine use prohibitively expensive interfaces

OK, thanks Dave - I shall think about it further.

Have to say the unit's been fine today! ::)

Pete, mine does the very same thing.. you turn the volume up high and the music seems like it goes off and comes back on very quickly >:(
I thought it was the head unit but tried another and that is exactly the same.It even skips when the radio is on so can't be the cd player.....
I turned the volume up then faded and balanced so one speaker was playing it turned out to be just the drivers door speaker. So I have swapped it and still it does it.... next I am going to check the wiring I think :(

I don't really listen to the radio - it's all commercial, housewife sleep-inducing "Radio Valium"  round here, and national radio stations aren't much better.
Actually, they're no better.
I only ever listen to the local station in a morning to find out what the weather's gonna be like. Once heard, back to my proper music!
 :D :D :D
Can't say I've noticed a little "skip" when radio is on to be honest.

I was considering doing similar but understand with Bose.. I can't. (you don't have Bose I take it.. )

I remember you saying. Interesting that it's not the head unit, then. I don't suppose it's possible that your car has one or more Bose speakers? It does sound like the audio amps shutting down due to overcurrent / overheat top me.

I'd change all the speakers to be honest...

It won't the wiring to that one speaker though would it??

I keep thinking about fitting a good head unit like Tunnie's and Dundee's then amp etc to get a good sound system :y
Come on the Rick Cd ;D :y
