I'm finally read to get a new deck too....was gonna get the Alpine 126BT last year but it got delayed . Been looking at its replacement

http://www.alpine.uk.com/p/Products/...de-134bt_23874

Just gotta sell my WR1 seats and will put a trade order in

 

Both my scoobs have single din motorised TV/DVD units fitted. Just the Ripspeed jobbers from Halfrauds but neither of them has missed a beat and i can't complain at the prices either. Check online they're usually cheaper than in store!
The newest on in the Hawk has ipod connection, USB and SD card slots. Loaded a stack of tuens onto a 2gig card and took most of the CD's out of the car.

 

I have just replaced the unit on my 2004 blob with a Sony MEX-BT3900U and a Subaru single din pocket. The Sony is a bit below your proposed spend, but is fantastic - really pleased.

 

I have got the alpine iPod only headunit as I never use CDs. It's a great bit of kit

 

I have the pioneer ipod only unit in my fozzy which is a great bit of kit[with reverse camera set up]

 

Show off

 

DVD quality is great, can't complain. Got connections for reversing camera, amps, and other screens. Both are touch screen as well.

 

You know me Mart,all or nothing

 

You can't fault the Alpine kit Dan, I have an earlier iteration of the one Darm's mentioned and it sounds awesome, never missed a beat and controls the iPod/iPhone

 

Do you want just high audio quality, or are you after sat nav and video and stuff?

Pioneer have the DEH-P80RS coming out in a month or so which should be an excellent sound quality single din HU with no video screen and no guff, at about £250. FOr audio purists really, but worth a mention.

 

What model? I'm looking to upgrade my headunit too but don't know whether to get a decent single DIN or a cheap double.

 

I got this off ebay for £400:


its a kenwood 8220bt, has garmin satnav built in for most of europe, tv connectivity and HU controlled ipod connection so you can hide away your ipod, and a bluetooth connection with a microphone to pick up your phone as soon as you get in for a hands free connection, was originally around the £1800 mark but second hand come up waaaay cheaper!
The screen is insane, I'll get some photos when I have it fully installed but sure it's going to look immense
I was looking at a few kenwood double din units for around the £300 mark the 7200bt's come up which are pretty much the same spec

 

Dont forget to connect the blue and white antenna power wire from head unit to solid white wire in iso connector. I fitted my new headunit today and forgot!! Will have to take out again and sort it for radio to work!

I just brought the new Alpine CDE-W235BT, double din, bluetooth, iPod/Ipone control, USB and AUX

Great bit of kit, can't fault it yet, although only put it in Sunday!

im looking at the pioneer f930bt. anone got one of these?

I've been told that alpine are better for subarus speakers ..... now i know im female but is this true or are they taking the p1$$ lol

 

Its rubbish as the standard Subaru speakers are pants no matter what headunit your using!
Just change the front door speakers for some 6.5" JBL GTO 6528S speakers with a spacer fitting kit from a Vauxhall Corsa. The speakers are £39.99 and the spacers about £8. These speakers will work fine off just a headunit as they are 2 Ohms and not 4 Ohms are designed to work well without big amp power.

 

Just my luck, called up today to reserve the Alpine CDE-134BT only to be told I should get the new Kenwood instead

Has anyone had any experience of the new KDC-BT92SD?
