Hi folks! I have been thinking of treating myself to a new headunit. Mainly the reason because the standard impreza headunit looks so dated! I have searched but cant find the answers i'm looking for. Looking to spend around £200-£300. Would like a touchscreen but most important I want one that is ipod compatible. I have had a double DIN headunit fitted into a previous car and it was a bit of a pain to fit. I have an 07 Hawkeye so want one that fits good. Thanks, Lee.

 

Got a Kenwood in my STi,Fit's good and I'm sure if you look around you can pick one up in your budget.

 

Thanks for the quick reply mate. Do you know which model Kenwood you have so I can have a look at it? Lee.

 

I'd go for a Kenwood touchscreen - I have the DNX5220BT bit overkill but like sat-nav and bluetooth hands free in one unit!

 

i am in the same boat.looking for a unit that will drop straight in.

 

These have had pretty good reviews and the for the money its good valve. I dont have one myself yet (still have the standard cassette/cd) but was looking one of these double din units.

When I come to change the head unit will also upgrade the speakers because the standard ones are completely pants.

I ve just done the same - However Ive treated myself to the Pioneer Avic 930BT - really good headunit still getting my head around all the things it can do - Does everything I need and finishes it off nicely. Defo worth a look but a larger stretch of the budget -

 

i only want radio/cd.Do they still make them??

 

Also want a double din but I want a grey one to match the interior anyone selling one or know where I can get one

 

those xtrons and other chinese makes dont fit behind the centre panel without a bit of trimming... i know this personally as i had to pass up on the chance of getting an all-singing all-dancing unit for £150 off a mate

 

Hello mate i have just purchased this http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/jvc-...-receiver.html

hopefully will arrive tomorrow i did ring and speak to a bloke about the iso harness as its needed for this

he was a great help good site recommended from me for double dins will post a pic up of how it looks in the car

ipod and touchscreen aswell plus has a detachable screen

also a crimbo bargain at £199

i think kenwood ones are highly recommended by a lot of ppl on here

 

I also had that unit in my last 05 STI - great piece of kit

 

I got a Kenwood DDX-8022BT

That was 2 years ago's,This is today version

I have a 07 hawk, i went fo the Pioneer AVH-3300BT. Really one the best things i got for the car.

Good point's:

*Can choose red or green colours to match the oem look of the lights.
*Both my phones connected in like 10 secs ready to use handsfree
*SD card means 1000 of track no more cd
*IPOD connection on the front

 

Thats a cracking price

 

I bought this, wouldn`t have a touchscreen cos I have issues with fingerprints Piece of p1ss to fit too

Where is there in Gloucester that sells decent car audio?I went to cheltenham hi fi centre today only to find out they have closed down..

 

Really ,That's where I bought my headunit from.Can't think of too many maybe Motormods,their based at the BP between Bishops Cleeve and Tewkesbury.There was one across the road from the railway station(next to the tyre place) but not sure if their still open.I guess there is always Harfrauds.

 

is that one down the bristol road still open?

 

To you mean Sexton's in Gloucester ?

Not sure I try to avoid Gloucester but http://www.sextonsgloucester.co.uk/c...loucester.html

so maybe

 

off to Sextons in a bit.

 

are you a wanted man in Gloucester?

 

Nah,Just hate the place,Did ya have any luck at Sexton.

 

A chap called Tony thinks my tweeters in the front doors are missing so he has ordered some.according to him the sounds will greatly improve.They only had 3 double din units in stock but halfords have a Sony touch screen on offer at the moment cant make my mind up.
