I'm after some ideas of what looks good in the mk4 as my headuinit may be beyond repair, I'll be finding out later on...
I like double DIN players more but I'd get a single if it had all the bits on there I need (ipod control, bluetooth, USB input)
I'm also a bit fussy when it comes to the look of them, I like understated units rather than ones with masses of lights on there.
Fire away with the pics :smiley:

Ive got a Blaupunkt Queens which im really pleased with. Came with a free 40gb hard drive. I ran the USB port to the glove box so just plug/unplug the hard drive whenever i want. Its not that flashy either, just looks like a nice solid headunit. Plus i wanted to stick with the German theme! :cool:

Black trim was standard mate :smug: :smug: 130 TDI's never came with the wood :tongue:

nice, might have a look around for some then!
or just might buy a derv :wink:

most people sand it back and spray themselves or put in the anni / R32 stuff
make sure it s the 130 then as the 150's were fitted with the wood :wink:

Got a kenwood KDC-W7031 and wondered how to link my ipod fixed rather than with radio waves like the link of other headunits

like that kenwood screen tbh
-
yeah if only I could afford to blow that much on a headunit. The missus would kill me, she'll kill me if she finds out about the wheels lol
-
Those large size ones do look very nice, but if you're on a budget I think the current Kenwood range looks nice, I'd definitely go for a black one if you have dark trim in your car. Pioneers tend to be nice too.
-
Yeah does the bizz, had it 2 years nearly and cant fault it...dont really care about the demo's it has too much, rather know it sounds pretty good with me amp and sub and that it does indeed! :grin:

Have a look here this is my thread from painting my trim, there is a shot of the headunit aswell, alpine one with i pod cable thingy,
when i sprayed the wood i also did the headunit surround so it blended in better.
-
No pics in car unfortunately :angry:.I quite fancy this Pioneer when funds allow. All connectivity with bluetooth as well.....

Yeah that sort of thing looks classy. Like I said Kenwood or Pioneer, cant go wrong.

Sorry about the poor pic - My Pioneer :smiley:

rhyso's alpine is ace i just bought a hefty pioneer 5.1 surround for my 42" samsung plasma screen which i use for the pc and ps3 :p

I wouldnt go near Halfords, best to buy online imo better value and better selection.
-
Halfords is fine for trying the units out though.
-
well I've had news back about my headunit, she's dead. :sad:
So I've been looking for headunits and I've found another Kenwood unit (as I've got an ipod cable already plumbed in to the armrest and I CBA to rip it out) I'd like the same unit as Rhys but I really can't afford £250ish for one. Anyway here's the one I'm going for

-
I have to say i think pioneer equipement is the best!
evan if it is over priced and expensive, you know it will go on for eva and is pure quality.
Teisto evan uses pioneer
-
I would but I haven't got the extra £120 the Pioneer costs
-
So how much is the Kenwood you're going for Wazzer? Like the look of it... :smiley:
-
£250ish - £120 = £130ish
-
good calculations there Steve, spot on :grin:
-
Tis good I learnt that last week :grin: next week English
-
Aboo here's the auction mate....

the lights change from the blue to red or green
-
£250ish - £120 = £130ish
:embarassed: hangs head in shame.......
Seems a good deal for £130..
-
yeah it is mate, looked on there at other sellers and they are around £160...
-
Just had a quick look round on the net, most places are selling for £150ish looks nice and a good deal.
-
that Kenwood does look a smart unit :afro:
Good find! :smiley:
-
i will be going back to my satin black centre console as well. :wink:
-
well all of you who have asked me about this headunit...
It's AWESOME!
Just had a little play with it and it looks absolutely spot on. It's even got a sound reactive display!!
Sound quality is excellent and has all the features I need. The only thing the model up from this has got is a USB port on the front and more colours in the display so IMO it wasn't worth the extra £50 odd
Here's a quick vid of it playing...

yes mate, I already have :grin:
good for a giggle but it would do your head in all the time
-
I really like that unit, but the controls are a little too heavy on the red :smiley:
-
that's ok mate, you can always make them green instead :sick:
-

-
How much better are after market units than the standard unit? I'm really pleased with how the stereo sounds as standard but I do like the look of that Kenwood unit :cool:

night and day difference really - so much more clarity and you actually get to hear what you're listening to
-
As Rhyso said, just replacing the HU alone makes a huge difference due to the extra wattage it sends to the speakers.

http://www.pioneer.co.uk/images/products/caraudio/pioneer/fh_p80bt_1_large.jpg
Anyone care to explain how to take the trim off round the stereo as i want to paint mine to like linz has but obviously not pink lol
i looked on vortex but the thread on there about removal was lame anyone know of a link of this job?
thanks
-
See - I look double DINNS but can you take a piece of the face off them like a single dinn - worried that a scrote will decide to break into the car for it!
-
As far as I'm aware there's no panel that comes off for security on double-dins.
G60GTI16V or Rhyso any chance of a picture of Pioneer lit-up up at night with dash as well...pretty please

you can get a JVC unit with a removable front facia
i'll see what i can do :smiley:

Top-man. Cheers Rhyso :wink:
Downside of removable panel on JVC, is if it's the h/u I'm thinking of I personally think it looks gash..

I would say go for Kenwood/Pioneer. Rest is crap :laugh:
-
No pic's of mine yet. Ive got the double din size Kenwood DPX503U. It took a while to set up all the functions, but I'm very happy with it, you can change the colours of the display to match the original Delta display, eg; LED backlit in blue positive or negative ( not a true match to VW indigo blue but close) and the buttons and side bars in red.I ordered the add on bluetooth module too and it sounds clear. Its also quite easy to navigate the USB, not while driving though!! Wont bother changing the door speakers they sound fine when its cranked up! :laugh:
-
thats the next one up to the one wazzzer has and the one i'm getting i think :undecided:
-
certainly is matey :wink:
-
jonny told me its £150 in halfrauds :huh:
-
Think i am going to save up for a double din screen one with satnav built in, not too worried about a cd player, just seen one that has usb input and memory card slot, thats got to be the way ahead. Although them kenwoods look smart and i think rhys's would look :cool: in mine as it would blend with the trim!
-
dpx503U its a good unit, but if you like messing with the sound settings ect while your driving beware... it has a series of menu's to go through to adjust the sound and displays ect, I spent 5 mins setting up mine and am happy to leave it like that. :smiley:

-
what's £150, the 503U?
reckon so :undecided:
-
just checked on the website, £250
-
the 503u is a bit more expensive as it has the usb slot, but i think the other functions are there on the next model down.
pics to come soon. i want to show off some new mods
-
yeah you can change all the settings on mine according to the instruction manual, just haven't got round to doing it or even fitting it in the dash properly yet as I was waiting for my bluetooth kit to arrive
-
mines arrived today :smiley: will hopefully fit it saturday :wink:

Ye mate no worries will take a snap tonight fitted it in yesterday and had a play with it. I have to say it is the bollox and well worth the money i got it for 240 brand new sealed in box with 12 months warrenty beat that price for a pioneer! And the sound quality on stock speakers is amazing lol i couldnt belive it myself
