J4CKO Posted January 18, 2015 Author Posted January 18, 2015 Yes, will do, hopefully it wont be too much of a pain to do, did consider one of those with a big screen but it was getting expensive and I dont use the car that much, if I can do this for £170 then I am happy, stereos used to a lot more expensive, £100 for the Pioneer seems fantastic, looks pretty flexible. 1 Quote
J4CKO Posted January 20, 2015 Author Posted January 20, 2015 Considering getting one of these cheapy Android jobs now, anyone got one, am I better off with the basic Pioneer ? Quote
chrisday1990 Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 OK just do what I done, I got a pioneer head unit supplied and fitted for 300 and I was thinking of changing speakers and all, DUDE totally transformed the system and i did not need to spend any more than that. Quote
AMT Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Can I ask in general is this the older cars?.. as my HR has never skipped even in the coldest weather, always spot on. Quote

J4CKO Posted January 26, 2015 Author Posted January 26, 2015 Well, got it swapped over at the weekend for this Pioneer http://www.halfords.com/sat-nav-audio/car-audio/dab-radios-car-stereos/pioneer-fh-x700bt-double-din-car-stereo Using the kit off Ebay and it all works, including the steering wheel controls, not a job I want to repeat through, very fiddly compared to swapping other stereos I have done. I did the "Buster mod" as the volume was pitiful otherwise. The Pioneer sounds a bit better than the Bose and feature wise is way better, for £99 it was a bargain, I remember stereos being way more expensive than that in the 80s, I put a 64 GB USB memory key in it, little tiny one that only sticks out a cm or so, £17 off Amazon. 1 Quote
