Stu Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Right.. I'm looking for an MP3 head unit for the car.. It has to be black with zero or very little silver/grey/bling.. Preferably with a green display.. It has to take cd/cd-r's.. It has to support MP3's.. It can have an internal hd.. Any recommendations (with pics?).. Cheers!

white_van_matt Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 Ooooh another thought aswell seeing as you said you dont want it to stand out - if it's a ford your putting it in, ford actually do an MP3 head unit, would look standard fit then, check eBay if u want one of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a quick look on ebay for the mp3 one, but I think it's a focus one, and not the same fitting as for a mk6 escort?.. I'll probably use a normal iso player but make a dummy fascia from an original mk6 radio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure though cos my van never came with a stereo (ex police car) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted June 23, 2005 Author Share Posted June 23, 2005 Out of interest, i've decided to buy an Alpine CDA-9851R.. Highly recommended from an installer friend of mine.. Some info: Alpine CDA-9851R Security: Detachable Facia Power Output Per Channel: 50 W Pre-amp Outputs: 3 sets Pre-amp Output Voltage: 2 V CD Changer Controls: Yes Remote Control: Optional MP3/WMA playback: Yes Aux Input: Optional Cable Illumination Colour: White/Green Facia Finish: Black Digital music playback, system expansion options, and great looks, Alpine's CDA-9851R is a tough act to follow! In addition to your standard CDs, it'll play MP3 and WMA files you've burned on a CD-R or CD-RW. Alpine's Quick Search feature helps you scroll through your folders and files quickly, so your favorite tunes will never be far away. Alpine have also included Bass Engine® tone controls for sound shaping at its finest. Your music, no matter the format, will always sound spectacular. The powerful on-board amplifier delivers a solid 50W x 4 to power your music and for even more system punch, you can connect external amplifiers to the three sets of preamp outputs.
