the radio was knackered in my V8 and sounds like i was in a cave so i got the tape deck ripped out and have replaced it with an alpine headunit
a massive thanks to Garys car radio in preston for their fantastic work
the reverse cam still works and as does everything else on the EMV other than the radio bit of it
they installed the alpine headunit 6.5" type s splits in the front and 6.5: type s coax's in the shelf
i supplied a 4ch amp which they used, i also supplied a Jaycar 10" carbonfibre dvc sub which they didnt! without spacing it up almost 2" it would hit the tank! then the cover wouldnt fit, so for the sun of just $20 the gave me an old DLS 10" they had kicking around, it's not a freeair sub but neither was the Jaycar one either.... yet it still pumps im more than pleased... just got a boot full of old bits to get rid of now
sorry no other pics as it's all factory appearance other than the amp it's mounted where the stacker was
but i 100% reccommend the guys there the work was far better than i expected and have recieved in the past when having work done at JBhifi and strathfield.

all up for the headunit installation and wiring, the made the 6.5" fit the front doors and did a tiny bit of deadening, modified the ashtray and put my doortrim on correctly, it was looking funny before, so supplu and fit h/u splits and coaxes was $1100 i have no idea what the cost of the hu is on its own, i've seeen it for $650 i have no idea why i paid so much for it, it dosent even play cd's, but then thats ok cos i havent ot any just music on my iphone so it works out good, a stacker can be added..
they charged me a further $220 to fit the amp 4ch and sub supply the wiring kit for the amp and set it up and also including the 10" dls w310 sub
i like it but its a pita when in part using the dial, the gear shifter gets in the way, you can also input external av inputs into the screen dvd for example... but its so small why would you!
i wanted this new hu i saw on ryda its a 1din all screen looks mad, but im over spending cash on cars and that hu was the cost of the whole job
the sub sounds nice at low to mid levels but im going to trackdown something for free air use as this one isnt suited to it, i have to adjust the level for some songs as it gets out of control
