Double Din Headunits

[Fizz]

the TV's will show a pic, but there is (i think) .. .5 Mhz difference between sound and picture .. and in europe the diff is 1 Mhz ..

When in Oz I had a UK Atari 2600 and could only get sound OR picture ..

man.. you bringin back some memories.. i used to ahve one.. infact its probably in some card board box in the attick!..lol

did you have that F1 game.. where the cars were little boxes.. and ice road was just simply blue.. lol those were the days.. and millipede and break out!...

[97paseo]

Yea you know so you could stick in the glovebox so it looks like it aint there...

Doesn't really matter just wondered!

[Bibbs]

did you have that F1 game.. where the cars were little boxes.. and ice road was just simply blue.. lol those were the days.. and millipede and break out!... 

Hell yeah .. Combat is one of the best multi players EVER!!

(But I had to play them all without sound .. can you imagine PacMan with out the wugga-wugga-wugga ?? )

[Jimlad]

Yip... I also had an Atari 2600 !!!

Loads of fun !!

I also had pole position.

Favourite game... Yars Revenge... ( first game and I played it for 8hours straight once !! )

I even burned a line down my TV due to the fact I played it so much.. oh and Joust ! That was another great game !

Get an Atari 2600 emulator and roms.. relive the old days.

Now back to those blinging double din units !...

[tony4]

count me in please. I'm interested in double din as well..

[celicaste]

would be interested in the double din. bibbs the metal stuff is called checker plate

[toyotasera.co.uk]

They still won't pick up UK FM radio though. I'd be interested but I listen to the radio quite a lot, and I've got an Ipod for tunes...

[nws25]

They will with a band expander.

[Fizz]

i presume there aint a removable face on these double dins... :(

[y4ris]

like it would you be able to hook a dvd to the one with a tv init?

[Bibbs]

think the TV one actually has a DVD in it .. but not sure - can't read Jap :P

Here are some pics of mine ..

[97paseo]

Give it to me!! Very nice.

[Bibbs]

I like the fact it's got one of those displays that shows peak hold etc .. and there is one of the Kenwoon Dolphin .. bit pants on mine as it's old ..

And now the reply from the importer !!

Hi Ben

Hope you are well.

I can bid on Yahoo parts for you, but please bear in mind that we dont

normally offer this service to anyone as bidding on several auctions at once

takes up a lot of our time and me and the guys in Japan already working

around the clock as it is(!). Therefore to make it worth our while, we will

add a small fee for every successful auction. There are also other costs to

consider, such as Jap tax, Jap delivery and also you must take full

responsibility if the part is broken or damaged in anyway as in most cases,

the Japanese seller will not accept refund or returns, so no warranties are

available.

We try to avoid putting parts in cars these days, especially for such small

items as its quicker and relatively inexpensive to have parts like head

units sent over by AIR SAL. It averages between 2-3 weeks to get to the UK

and is much cheaper than EMS.

On successful bids, I will email you the total cost you need to pay for the

item including delivery to you. This amount will need to be remitted as soon

as the auction ends as our guys in Japan will need to pay the seller.

If you are thinking of bringing over large quanities of these head units and

other stereo stuff, then you might want to accrue several units and have

them sent over in one box, which saves a little on delivery costs.

Also, bear in mind that Im not available to watch every auction right till

the last minute, so for each auction you want me to bid on, if you give me

your maximum bid price in YEN, I will always bid that amount from the offset

and leave it unless you wish to bid higher (if you are getting outbid or

just to make sure you secure the win).

To give you an idea of the final costs, let say we win a headunit for 25,000

yen. The actual cost (excluding delivery from Japan to you) based on a 190

yen exchange rate will be £203. The total cost including delivery to UK will

be £223.

HTH

[97paseo]

I see...whats the outcome then? Do you think it's not possible?

[Jimlad]

looks like it can still go ahead... I hope.

[97paseo]

So are we looking at more like £200 now....

[y4ris]

yeah £200 would be nice

i want one now with md and cd like yours mate proper lush

count me i :D

[Jimlad]

yeah... Bibbs.. your one looks pretty cool mate

[Bibbs]

and the next reply ..

Hi Ben

I am OK - if a little hung over from a night on the town(!)

I am happy to bid on the head units for you.

I take it you are acting as middle man for others?

I would prefer this as it makes the admin side of things much easier.

I will also bid on other items, but if they are similar to what I

would normally bring over for resale myself (ie. exhausts etc.), the final

UK price

on successful auctions will reflect the price I would normally

consider selling them for. If I see regular business from you,

then I will look into offering discounts.

Costing wise, if an auction is won at 50,000 yen

then expect the final UK price (excluding delivery to UK) to be at least

150% of that figure (75,000 yen)

If you use this as a rough guide then you wont go too far wrong

Regards

[Bibbs]

All prices current bid status - £ price approx .. need to add 50% and then shipping .. here are some of the more expensive ones .. and a cheapie ..

This seems to be the big daddy : 88,000yen - £460

MD, CD, MP3, WMA

CD, MP3, WMA : 47,000yen - £250

CD, MD, MP3: 10,500yen - £60

CD, MD, MP3: 50,400yen - £260

[97paseo]

What happened to £100?!!!? £60 aint bad for that one.

Any of those Kenwood baby's going? B)

[Bibbs]

to be honest .. I didn't bother with the cheapies .. but look at

http://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/

to find your kit and then pop it through

http://www.xe.com/

and this will give you a price.

Search for "Kenwood CD MD" and it shoudl return some nice ones ..

[toyotasera.co.uk]

They will with a band expander.

Less than ideal though...

Do they have any RDS functionality?

[Bibbs]

RDS?? I know my doesn't do trafic (if that's the same).

They are all 72 - 90 mhz FM .. the expander makes this an actual 88 - 106 (but the display still reads the old range.

[97paseo]

Just looked up that Kenwood one, they are cool, except I wonder if they would fit into a Paseo double DIN as it's got a stupid plastic surround which doesn't leave much space around the head unit. <_<

Pretty healthy spec as well: Here

I want one!!! :D
