does anyone have any suggestions for a tasteful headunit or speakers for a car? the last owner put in a ricey headunit that sticks out like a sore thumb.
>>13893293
i've heard kicker CS series are pretty good and durable. i don't really care about bass, but i want a speaker that is pretty loud and won't bust easily. i have 6's in the front and 4's in the back i think. as for the headunit, i would like an EQ adjuster, an auxiliary port, AM/FM, and all the standard controls. a CD player would be nice, but isn't necessary for me. any suggestions? thanks in advance
Unfortunately unless you pay $$$$$$ the most tasteful headunit for your car is probably the stock one.
>>13893329
Tasteful is relative but here's my pick for a non-ricey headunit
VW P/N 6Q0051228B
>>13893293
i have this in my truck
>>13893293
Buy a line in.
>>13893368
this is almost perfect. thanks for the suggestion!
>>13893329
Marine units are pretty cheap and tasteful

First time I actually laughed at a car stereo.
This is so comically serious, I fucking love it.
>>13893436
I-I-It's lightening proof, senpai!

They're real, Kubota has them and you can get Bluetooth and a backup camera too. The new larger mini excavators all have climate control with hepa filters, multi adjustable suspension seats and LCD gauge clusters
>tfw tractors are nicer than my car.
>>13893452
Well if it's a stereo for heavy machinery and not just some hipster shit, it may actually be lightening proof.
>>13893463
sounds like a comfy workplace
>>13893436
Damn right it's serious, motherbuddy
>>13893368
I like how they even shat on a photo studio appointment for that product info.
Just pulled out their consumer camera and snapped a shot on automatic.
>this will do.
I put this in my E36. If you want tasteful and OEM looking units, go with the dirt cheap ones and avoid Alpine (they're the flashiest brand of all). The cheapest ones are less chrome trimmed and night club looking.

I miss Minidisc ;_;
>>13893402
the kind of button it has will wear out quickly
and by quick I mean in 20 years time and with frequent use
>>13893368
this looks like a fucking life support machine
>>13893453
Shut up idiot
>>13893509
damn
>>13893509
Yeah, stick it in your RX7.
>>13893497
>avoid Alpine
I guess I would pick up one of their older units
or perhaps an awa clarion tape deck
>>13893497
>go with the dirt cheap ones
I'd be way too scared that hey might be retardedly designed inside and that some fucked up wiring in the case might cause a fire.
I don't trust these cheap radios at all.
>>13893550
By cheap I mean the cheapest from brand names such as Pioneer and Sony. The cheap Sony units are terrifically minimal and not too flashy.
>>13893542
>>13893553
Interesting.
Around here the cheap products of big brands are usually the tackiest and flashiest while the more expensive ones are usually a little less flashy.
>>13893293
Don't know what it is because the guy I bought it from had put it in (or it could have even before he owned it I suppose as well) but this is in my ranger.
I think they must have also upgraded the stereo system because it sounds pretty decent. Not the best in the world but it's solid. Doesn't look too bad. You can change the color also but I don't know how. It turns to red (from blue) whenever I put it into reverse which is kinda cool I guess, not sure how he wired that though since it's a 1992 manual.
>>13893570
>horizontal photo on a vertical image
I don't even know what to say anymore.
It's like smartphones really dumbed down people.
>>13893564
Strange. Usually the mid-range ones are the super flashy ones while the most expensive or dirt cheapest are the least flashy. Still, a cheap and minimal Sony is the way to go. Some allow you to change the LED and button colours so they can match your cars instrument lighting which is a nice touch.

If I didn't do that, the photo would be sideways for you guys.
Can't rotate it so the only way to guarantee it is upright when uploading to 4chan is to take a screenshot and then upload that.
>>13893368
GET THE SATELLITE
>>13893583
You know that literally every phone has an edit mode where you can rotate the image around, right?
>>13893596
Yes.
But the thing is with iPhones. It only changes the orientation when it is displayed in your photo app.
It doesn't actually change the file extension that determines the "right way up" on a computer.
This when it is uploaded to 4chan servers it is sideways.

I must point out a flaw with aux jack
cable rotation can quickly kill its coating
this has only happened to me with factory units tho
Stock first gen Subaru Legacy stereos are great, has an aux plug, and some of the higher trim levels have a mini sub under the passenger seat. only problem is >>13893800 sometimes
>>13893675
>max 16gb USB, 8gb SD card
this is why I use my phone through the aux, 64gb of eurobeat if I wanted
>>13893852
I use this with tape deck head units
only issue is needing to wiggle the tape a little to get better contact with the reading head
but after that it is fine
also many older head units will have line in for an external cd player or changer
>>13893928
Might need to get one, the aux plug has that problem starting to happen and it may be shorting out the clock on the radio too. Thanks senpai

>>13893928
I've had one of those for a few months, works great but for some reason it doesn't like my sister's iphone (whatever the newest one is). Makes a mix of screeching and static noise whenever it's plugged into her phone. No problems with my htc one m8
>>13893983
the sony ones I have are pretty solid
and Mitsubishi has some nice head units

anything like one of this ?
it can also happen when a low quality phone is plugged into a cigarette lighter source
>>13893928
See, this is the best shit
I use an old Blaupunkt with one of these and it works perfectly while still looking very clean.
I get a high-pitched noise coming through the speakers when I hook my phone or iPod up to the AUX jack...but ONLY when I also have them plugged into the 12V/USB adapter to charge them. If I unplug their charger cables, the interference goes away.
It's directly related to the electronic throttle too, because as I press down harder and let off, the sound gets higher and lower. I'm pretty sure I destroyed the battery in my iPod using that USB thing too, it won't hold a charge now.

does your Fm radio pick up the sound of wind screen wiper motors ?
>>13893570
thats the same one i have im pretty sure. mine stays red though. they look identical from the picture
Kienzle MCR 1016BT looks to be pretty simple and non-ricey, has a lot of features, and uses a common wiring harness.
Anyone have any experience with cheap decks from eBay
>>13894700
A friend of mine bought a dirt cheap old Sony unit and it works beautifully.
VDO TR711U-BU
>>13896562
what about no-name brands
I use this in my car,
it goes relatively well with the rest of the interior and was cheap, around $55.
The only thing, that I don't like is the fact, that the screen is white, not green.
>>13897452
