DJsickboy Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 So what do you guys reccomend replacing the Bose with?? I want something with quality sound and MP3 capability that looks real nice.... Any pictures you can post for inspiration? Cheers in advance Djay Quote
Andy Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 That would be an Alpine Gix! The Alpines and Kenwoods are always a good bet. When you say MP3, do you want an iPod connection or what would you be looking for? Quote

When you say MP3, do you want an iPod connection or what would you be looking for? well the guy who bought it and fitted it must have it wrong then ?? Cheers guys. Im really happy with the look and the Kenwood touch screen is awesome. Really liking the Garmin Sat Nav that Kenwood use too, much nicer then my old tom tom i think its 50/50 kenny on top and alpine under Quote
tmJak Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Oh I'm after one of these fancy things as well so I can play my iPod. Clarkie34 recently got one fitted for around £700 but I can't find the thread now. Quote

tmJak Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Speaking of the additional screen, do you have to have the sat nav fitted there or can you get something else in its place? If so what would it do? Quote

H5 Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 If you're going pure MP3, no point going too far on upgrading the other equipment to the best stuff. It is so compressed it's not going to push or get the most out of the speakers. Alpine headunits tend to be best quality wise. Kenwood have a range of things that fit and do a job. Depends what you want really. Quote
3FIDDYZ Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 The photos are from Bundus's car. Mark sold it on recently. Top screen is linked to a box in the cubby so its all Sat Nav at the moment but you can link a media box in and you will get full control through the screen. Or you can get a Kenwood DNX-7200 () in the bottom and then link an additional screen in the top and you have everything in the centre console. But Sat nav can only be on the lower screen.... MP3 is just a case of adding the ipod link. Or using the USB and a memory stick but I understand these can be a pain in the a$se but Ipod is really quick... Quote

When you say MP3, do you want an iPod connection or what would you be looking for? Yes mate an Ipod connection would be good, TBH I am clueless when it comes to I.C.E so I just want something with great sound and looks good. That unit looks awesome..... I feel a trip to the audio shop coming on...... Do ESR do ICE? Quote
H5 Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 Whwere are you based? I know a few very good ICE dealers / installers. ESR don't do ICE (yet!!) Quote

H5 Posted August 23, 2008 Posted August 23, 2008 And you pick one area I don't know of any dealers! If you're prepared to travel, the Sound Gallery that work on my car are awesome. Quote
