May 3, 201213 yr comment_513 G'day Chris. I put in one of these Sony DSX-S100 car digital media player sindle din so room for cr@p below. nothing else done. CD's are like VCRs ... old news. I rarely listen to the radio (often no reception) so audiobooks are my thing. MP3, no skipping on rough roads, no scratched/lost discs. Report
May 3, 201213 yr comment_514 My ipod died out on my last trip and i lost thousands of song in a flash (usually helps not to spill beer on them) anyways the drive home was very boring with nothing to sing along too and ofcourse all the cds in the glove box where scratched like crazy and didnt play Report

May 29, 201213 yr comment_4047 I have one of those cheap Chinese head units, one SD slot for GPS and another SD for music and whatever. It also takes CDs/DVDs and has connectins for external players. It has worked quite well. Cheers Ray Report

May 30, 201213 yr comment_4075 What r your thoughts on this?? http://www.pioneer.com.au/au/products/AVH-P8450BT/print.html Report
May 30, 201213 yr comment_4080 That'll probably cost you 3x what an equivalent Chinese unit will cost and will be made in SE Asia anyway, probably with the same components that go into every other unit. Cheers Ray Report
May 30, 201213 yr comment_4083 But I'll get warranty locally.. But I know were your coming from.. Rc gear is 1/5 the price overseas.. Report
May 30, 201213 yr comment_4085 The only reason that I say this is that I bought a Sony xPlod head unit for around $700 (half the regular price) when I got my CRD and it bit the dust about a day or so after the warranty ran out. So I decided to get a cheap Chinese unit and it was a third the price of the discounted Sony and has lasted nearly three times the distance. Cheers Ray Report
May 30, 201213 yr comment_4091 What r your thoughts on this?? http://www.pioneer.c...50BT/print.html I really like how these work, I've always prefered Pioneer for their userability so I'm a little biased. They are no where near as expensive as equivalent branded stuff, but obviously more expensive than the chinese stuff of eBay. They have a very good sound quality, they have a good power rating (what are the chinese thingos putting out?), they allow usage of a subwoofer (does a chinese thingo?) and I have never had a Pioneer headunit fail on me, not even a button or function through dust and mud, they always worked for me. If you can get one from overseas make sure the frequencies are the same, and I wouldn't be too hesitant as they will last, if they fail in two year or more, they are cheap on eBay and new functions get added each year without going up in price. Therefore you'll upgrade or pick up the same thing for next to nothing. I bought last years single din media centre (top line one with a 3" screen) and it was $200, all works perfect, came in original box with everything, bargin! But if you like the thought of warranty, please don't let me turn you off it. Report

Wrong mate! I have one of the old school 160g ipods (Small Screen) before "Shake to Shuffle" was included! I have S2S on my iphone 4S so I know the difference! Report
May 30, 201213 yr comment_4093 I have one too and it has spent 70% of its playing life in my carS gloveboxes and only skipped once in my BMW sedan when I jumped a wash out in Noojee Report

May 30, 201213 yr comment_4111 Pioneer is reliable... Nice sound too... Those cheap ones lack the sound clarity that most decent head units provide... I love my pioneer unit... Report
