Looking at replacing the ford 6disc in my focus with a dvd/ipod/nav combo. I've seen this double din system but never really been into car audio so don't really know if it's any good!

This seems to be the cheapest shop to buy it from £1150ish with the ipod adaptor. Are there any other options I should be considering? (preferably cheaper ones!! )

Cheers

Get the Alpine double din pulse touch unit instead, awesome piece of kit

 

looks good

is it touch screen to control the other functions such as radio/ipod etc

 

I don't know alot about this sort of stuff, but the main problem I see with the Kenwood double-DIN stuff is the security aspect. I'm sure it doesn't allow the front to be removed or 'Masked'.

The Pioneer units are nice.

 

Mr Shannon this one? Clicky? it's £500 more...you're supposed to be saving me money!!

gingeRS It's toch screen but not sure how the ipod operates, I would like to control it from the head unit....anyone know?

 

Christian and Beccy It doesn't say anything about security, I used to have a Kenwood mask unit in my Escort and some little sod nicked it anyway!!

 

Yes that one its fuckin Ub3R!!

I used to work as a car audio installer and went to a semnar (sp) where they demo'd that unit and everyone there said how good it is..

Its ipod compatible and has the fastest scroll / refresh rate and is the easiest to navigate through genre's / artists etc

The security aspect will always be there as none of them mask but so long as it insured who cares

See if you can get it cheaper from www.caraudiocentre.com bud.

 

Cheers Shannon

 

What do you want double din for you homo

Get a normal one, like Mr C said and you wont have it on display all the time......

"Look at me, i have a cinema screen in my dash!" And it WILL get nicked

Get a normal single din and it'll hide away and just look like a normal stereo when un used with the removeable face plate. And i can fit it too....... for a nominal charge

That one i told you about the other week was very good for the pennies

 

Charging for fitting?

Single din flipouts are for homo's

Whats the one you recomend?

 

You don't know Bish like i do + he can settle the debt in beer

Single dins might be for homos but in a FRS you dont need to advertise anymore than you need to.

Like Christian, i'd go for a Pioneer or maybe even an Alpine. I'd rather not say which one i'd mentioned as its from Halfrauds

 

NEVER buy audio from hellfrauds, the markup is criminal

I fitted a double din alpine in an ST not so long ago and couldnt believe how easy they are to work on

 

Ahh sh1t, I agree with Paul

 

This Kenwood Unit is about the best for the price. The Navigation software it uses is the best on the market. Navteq also no software disc to get scratched or damaged as its all done on a hard drive Alpine do make some very nice Navigation systems but they can be a bit expensive.
As for the Pioneer avic x1 bt the navigation softwares not as good.

 

upgrade the speakers etc aswell m8, i can install all that for ya

 

Cheers Benn

Interesting question raised now...Is the CD player in my Focus even a Double Din, there's some talk of it being 1.8...anyone know?

 

If its the same size as the unit in the focus st then its slightly bigger than double din and will require a facia plate available from ford for around £20

 

It's definitely the same size as the one in the st170 or do you mean the new focus st?

 

I'm after a std Focus 6 disc unit if you want to part with your original.....

Let me know

Rob

 

I ment the new ST

If you do get rid of your standard unit these retail at around £300 iirc from ford, hence why there's been a sudden surge in thefts.

Thats what you'll be wanting and no its not double din

 

Will do Rob

Cheers Shannon, so does anyone know if it is infact double din!!

 

Look up a post lol, no its not its slightly smaller, the new ST's have a bigger opening.

 

 

Howcomes no one has actually you can't have a double din player in your Focus as the standard hole isn't double din in size? Cos it's not! It's more like 1.6din size... Which is hella annoying as I was gonna put a Kenwood double din unit in my van so I had minidisc and CD playback, with aux line in's for an MP3 player aswell... But then found out that it wasn't a double din hole

 

I said that in my last 2 posts

 

I never got that far down lol

 

Thrush lol I thought that, noone told me till I asked...bet they were having a good giggle to themselves!!
