Show me your head unit

[zub-gti]

now THAT looks great.

Interesting thing is that by putting a standard usb/Ipod data cable onto that rear connection, you don't need to use the front at all....

Or that's my take on it......

Will have to look at the online manual later.


Thanks for the pics though - can't wait to see how you get on with it.

Well yes and no...
I would like the functionality of the touch screen IPOD interface, therefore I will need to connect to the front IPOD connection...
However, with the USB you have the ability to plug in a portable HD or USB stick, you can have a huge amount of music movies exc on this - so you can possibly do away with the IPOD...

Yes arrived the other day... 
Not had time to install yet, and doubt i will for a week or 2..

However, here a little taster;

I have purchased an IPOD lead, to connect to the back also, the connector will be led to the glovebox along with the USB port.
I am waiting on an SMA extension cable to extend the DVB ariel to the glove also.

Z

what unit is that?
If you don't mind me asking where did youg et it from and for how much, as the next thing I want to do is sort out hte stereo, can't be doing with CD's, need my ipod connection back!!!

Just had an email back from Oskar -

"We are expecting more units in this week.
 
They will include the USB from the rear but there are no units yet (And I doubt there ever will be) with rear exit IPOD.
The USB Cable is not compatible with the IPOD interface.
The IPOD connection is compatible with Iphone and IPOD.
 
Our price including delivery to the UK is US$545.00 . (Via Paypal, Mastercard, Visa or Bank transfer)
We would send via parcelforce (EMS) to save shipping costs and taxes.
 
Cheers and best regards

This does change things slightly, although the price equates to £330 all in.
I need to see one in action now - not sure about the whole thing of front access Ipod. I've got a Touch, which I like to use. So the rear access isn't THAT important, but I don't know really.....

Will have to see what else is out there.

Humm this looks really good I'm quite interested too, could you please send me contact details. :-)

RNS510 looks interesting, but lookforward to your reivew

could it run Tomtom from SD card say?

I have a cheap double din before, but it didn't even come up with radio station name when tuned

[DanoGTI]

My understanding is YES. TomTom will run of the card.

Think that is a downfall of this unit too...

Yes you can run any nav software that will run on a mobile device, its running windows CE.

My thoughts exactly mate,
I would love a rear input, one poking out of the front doesn't really appeal at all to me,
Until a rear one is sorted then I think I will have to hold out,
Thanks for the update though.

Well, I've had a good look, and I'm think I'm going to go for the Pioneer AVH-4100DVD. About £50 more than the Waywell, without satnav.
But sh1t-hot Ipod interface.

Running an F900BT myself, great headunit!

[dTEA]

I know its not sat nav but i've got my phone for that, and DVD's are illegal to watch while driving!!  LOL! but for me compared with the price of touch screens i think its a fair trade off and the actual functionality i think will serve better than touch screen.  Think of the touch screen phones...as much as a I love my Omnia its way slower to search and send texts than a keypad...i think its probs the same with a headunit. Thats my paupers way of looking at it!

The fascia surround is from the stuff that is supplied by the Pioneer range as Alpine used Connect2 and that was horrible black non-rubber plastic.

Here's a few of my Kenwood DNX-7200













And the cover I made





I have full bluetooth, full speed and functionality with IPOD, Hard-drive, DVD, and a park reverse camera with this package too. The sound processing is very clear and with the upgraded speakers, amp and sub it sounds excellent.

It has now been superceded by the DNX-7220

[DanoGTI]

Still like your install Hurdy 

Has anybody tried this Waywell yet?

The RCD300 is doing my head in (I've done some more investigating - I don't think that the Golf speakers are THAT bad. It's he head unit that's sh1te. Mine distorts SO easily.)
