DEX famm

used to be a sony fan but i recently got a pioneer and am very impressed with it. Almost identical to this one. Looks tasteful enough and sounds better than the sonys i've had.

Every modern car has a radio with a fascia like that. Except the wrx/sti

>>14340051
lmao what are you talking about. Every modern car has a 1u or 2u mount where you can easily slide the head unit out and replace it

>>14339942
It is removable, it just leaves a nasty ass hole with diagonal sides.

Good luck getting it out without breaking it though.

>>14340097
How modern are you talking about? Anything made in the last 10 years has a fascia like that. Sure, the back of it is double din but they all have that face. You just need a new faceplate to swap in an aftermarket one but then you might lose oem functionality

>>14339942
That's a Mitsubishi anon

>>14339980
I had a pioneer and for my girlfriend one too. I like both. I had an insignia that died young some how. Don't bother with best buy house brand stuff.

>>14340334
quite a few modern cars also have other functionality tied in the same area.

My outback has the aircon controls and hazards on the same facisa so the aftermarket also needs to relocate a few buttons.

>>14340601
oh how i wish i had a double din just for this feature.

if I could throw my cell phone in there while playing music off of it, or keep my swisher packet with blunts pre-rolled in it to keep from crushing 'em.

Life would be great.

>>14340639

>>14339780
Pioneer make an android touchscreen double din if that's what you want. Has nav too.

The goat of ALL TIME basic stock looking aftermarket stereo.

http://www.jaycar.com.au/Sight-%26-Sound-Car/In-Car-Entertainment/CD-DVD-Players/In-Dash-MP3-Player-with-Radio/p/QM3781

They actually come stock in some early 2000s BMWs

>>14340866
Stock looking for some shit 90's civic maybe.

I just bought a pioneer unit that has the light settings you can customize.

When it's night time, it literally matches the faded yellow lighting that's already stock in my 1984 Buick

If I wanted a head unit that looked like it was out of the 70s but had some modern features (mostly just AUX) what would my options be?

>>14344458
this is good question

>>14339780
OP you are retarded for getting rid of that headunit, should have just got an FRS if you wanted basic as fuck interior

I live in Europe, so no Scions here. Also who the fuck buy Scion when you can get original Toyota? As I said, touchscreen audio unit was optional and cost 850$. Standard was without audio unit.

>>14344507
merican here no toyota, your car didn't come with one? thought you removed

>>14344512
They probably made some stripper model for yurop so that people would be able to afford it.

>>14344524
>wanting pigfat stereos on ur car

What's a good double-din stereo with a display that isn't an ass to navigate but that also doesn't look like something a hood rat would put in his SUV.

>>14344546
this one looks good!

Since I want to make my life inconvenient, I'm thinking about installing a tape player instead of a pioneer unit which emits light equivalent of a small star during my nightly drives.
Is there any good bluetooth solutions with a high quality fm transmitter that you know of that can be hidden behind the radio?

Get a Mcintosh head unit

They look so fucking sexy

>>14344600
>>14344604
Oh god they look rly good. Sadly no USB port.

>>14344616
Yeah that sucks.

Would love one of those with minidisc since I'm one of the few who still use that format regularly at home, would make it easy to just bring the disc I'm listening to at the time

Hey families, how difficult is it to install a unit yourself? Don't know cap about carz. I'm gud with PC's and small electronics though

>>14344642
Like installing a HDD in one of those tray slot things.
You pretty much connect the cables and jam it in the slot.

>>14344642
You just need to plug speakers, radio antenna and power cables propably.

>>14344651
plug in*

>>14344650
>>14344651
Sounds easy enough. Thanks

>>14344642
If the harness in your car hasn't been cut up just buy the proper adapter and hook up the stereo connector to it.
It will plug into the factory harness and radio. Sometimes you can buy a harness that is plug and play for your new radio
>iso standard harnesses are made for most cars

Just don't be a hack job and cut off the factory harness like the PO of my car.

I have a Year 2000 BMW 328i and I was thinking about buying a new radio, something with an aux port, and at least in amber/orange color.

Any recommendations?

>>14344692
SOme cheap kenwood. They usually have that "255 RGB" display where you can pick the color yourself.

>>14344692
>Any recommendations?
Keep your factory radio? The E46 looks like ass with an aftermarket radio.
