before i went on holiday in May i put my car in a garage and hid my sterio head unit at home. i still cant find it and am now thinking of buying a new one. i dont know what one it was though. its made by Panasonic and had dolphin graffix and various other images in blue. the ***** at either end were silver and the left one could push in so it was flush with the unit. last year i posted a thread cos i lost a **** and needed to know where to get another one, but i cant find the thread. would anybody know what the sterio was and is the head unit the most expensive part to re- buy

 

Not the first person on SN to lose thier head

 

Facia

 

facia unit doesnt sound right

 

Carelessness

 

Sorry still pissing myself over the "blonde" description of the "facia"

 

lol, how is it meant to read then?

its in laymans terms

 

Try these guys

 

lol, radio head

 

How old is the stereo? It sounds like the one my sister has.

 

Nothing wrong with it, very well written and very amusing.

I did a google image search for "panasonic car radio facias", a few rads but no dolphins im afraid, good luck in your quest

 

Sara you nutta.

Now, panasonic didn't make one with dolphins. That would be the Pioneer.

Depending on how old it is, I'd guess it's a DEH-P9000R (the first OEL to be launched and thus ££££)

But Pioneer change their model line up every year so it maybe different model (OEL -as in animated diplay now extends down to the 6000 series)

 

i got it last year from halfrauds when the sale was on.............

 

Yeah I did the same thing, sara, is there no serial number or identification on the part that is left in the car?

 

Just asking her on MSN now

 

PMSL!

 

maybe it was pioneer then, it definately began with a 'P'

i have a really bad memory

the 'facia' was all black with thin red lights along the bottom that can change colour

 

i havnt looked.......i will now

there is nothing on the bit thats left

i wake up in the night and think i have remembered where i put it.....but i never find it

 

Surely the actual stereo has a model number label on it? try taking it out and reading it

 

defo pioneer!! deh-6500

 

i wouldnt know how to get it out, anyway it could be dangerous

 

i will google it

 

Oh Sara, how could I have not been reading these boards for so long when you post such priceless humourous incidents

 

My sister has this but I'm guessing yours is different

 

its not that one Legacy

 

If you can pop out the rear end of the radio out from the dash you'll get the model number off the rear.

 

sort of

 

Probably on the top or bottom, the headunits are far too busy on the back with all the inputs and outputs to be putting model numbers there

 

i will see if the thing to get it out is with my wheel nut key

 

You can normally use junior hacksaw blades, oh wait though maybe not eh
