DIN FTW!

Whoever designed integrated stereos should go design washing machines instead.

Hahahaha, he's finally cracked!! Need to find yourself a good HU to complement your insane setup now

It's a fine line between cracking and finally having a good excuse.

The crap thing is that the $AU -> Yen is still a poor conversion. I was hoping I could pay Japan parts in $US.

And I agree, the head unit selection process will be slow. Last I looked, I ended up pointing at a Clarion HX-DX2 (I think that's the model) as if I really went nuts I could go active 3 ways up front. Alternatively though, anything with good TA and EQ/amp options will suit me for more than what I'll want . . . . . . at least for now.

Still looking at $300 ish + postage though.

Total ammount decucted from my account was $388, which wasn't to bad, that was from avojdm and was very quick turnaround, japanparts would have been a lot more

I'm more concerned about the follow on costs that come with it........

- Head unit ~$1-2K
- 4ch amp ~$1-2K (for fronts and possibly rears depending on setup)

Install time ~8-16hrs
Tuning time ~2-4hrs
Deafness ~2-4 weeks post install

I've already got the sub amp in hand, so it's just the other bits I needs. Speakers and cabling is already done.

Eclipse headunit ftw! AVN726EA is the drug of choice for me.

Is AVOJDM pricing in $US or $AU? I'm assuming $US?

Don't worry, just answered that by rego'ing to the site.

Yeah every year I have a piggy bank that I put gold coins into all year. I crack it open at the start of December so we'll see how much there is and what toy I can buy this year

Good grief... I paid almost $100 more than that in April this year ah well. I've had 6 months of enjoyable audio at least!

Sure was!

Is the original HU's worth anything? Likely to get anything for it off ebay? Plan on keeping this car for awhile, so doubt I will remove the HU if i decide to sell it...

Not so much the HU that's valuable - more so the A/V kit. I'm sure there'll be someone on this forum looking for one when you get rid of your car. Hence the reason I'm holding onto mine, so I can help out a fellow forumer when I upgrade to a post-facelift in 2 years time
