WTB Mcintosh Head Unit

[Anfernee0525]

OKOK, my situation, i have a 2.0r bl5 07 with just a standard kenwood 6 disc head unit, single air con zone.
I talked to one of our member here and read a few thread, that i might need to get a av panel stuff around 400 in jp in order to install the macintosh ( Dual zone ) one .

But Matt up there said it can fit easily just lose one of those button function.

So Wt exactly do i need to do for it.

Talked to the tech at autobarn. he said it cost around $90 to switch over, i mention abt the air con problem, and he said he 've done that before.

Can anyone get me a clue ? Thanks guys

hey dude, sorry for not responding to your last pm

in regards to your question? I'm not a real expert so I cant really tell you if it can be done?

but I'd just be careful with places like auto barn and other similar places....cause I have experienced and heard from other peoples car being dodged up and hacked....on the front dash it might look all good...but behind...it's a birds nest....

That's alright mate, still keen to get one of those. Thanks for the heads up, Bird Nest LOL !
Hope any members here can help me to solve my problem ~

I 'll let you know soon !~

is it for looks or sound ? I could understand if it was only for looks but for a massive stuff around (you need not only the mac head unit but also the amp and wiring loom) you aren't going to get better audio than an aftermarket head unit.

IMO, it's a waste of time if you want to pass the car off as a premium spec.

+1 on the last comment. I ripped my Mac out and put in a 3 yr old JVC HU, with no amp, no speaker change. Much better than the Mc in presence, embience etc. Has loudness, multiple equalizer options, reads DVDs full of MP3, plays video dvd, sub woofer out, aux in, line in, line out, the works.

I have installed the facelift mac into my 04-05 wagon so I can still enjoy my music with mp3 options.
View here to see how it went, although it is still an ongoing saga:

Hi there,

This is exactly what id like to do with the Mac Unit,,, I hate it.....How hard is it to remove and repace...But what units will fit neatly in??

Also will the sat nave still be operational? once you remove this unit.

ALL any ANY help about removing this unit and replacing with something else would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Once the bezel is replaced, any stereo will fit. To remove the fascia is a 10min job. No idea about utilising the OEM sat nav with an aftermarket head unit sorry.
