hi guys im looking at buying this stereo for my ef fairmont
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/New-JVC-KW-XR416-Double-Din-CD-MP3-WMA-USB-Car-Stereo-/140468912178?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item20b4998032 now as its a double din it does not have a detachable face that im aware of so to try and protect it from being stolen im gonna use tamper proof screws to hold it in is there anything else i can do to protect it as my brother had the same unit in his vt commodore and it got stolen with the dash even getting damaged? also is it a good unit? |

my mate had one in his vt and it was ok he ran a sub off it and it worked fine, can i ask as to why you want a double din unit that doesnt play dvd's? also i see you wanted a double din stereo surround. you can modify the original one by cutting it out and it will work just as good as a bought double din surround

i just fitted the XR-416 in my AU, im happy, sound is 10x clearer than factory premium sound, although i cant see it sounding any different than the sony headunit in your sig?
only thing i regret is not spending the extra $20 on the XR-616 and be able to choose different colour displays and having it compatable with steering wheel controls (when using a $200 adaptor  )http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/i.html?_nkw= ... p=15&_sc=1 |

Hi mate, ive got one of these:
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/New-JVC-KD-R ... 20be896843 I would recomend JVC to anybody after using it. It would be a better unit if you will go a single din. The Dot Matrix screen makes navigating music stored on a USB easy as, has an excelent equaliser, 3 5 volt RCA outs and will be much easier to fit.

save up and get a single din with 3 pre outs, that way you can have front and rear speakers amped as well as a sub without having to use splitters.....
don't just go out and buy what you can afford at them moment, future proof yourself..... also think about joining Mobile Electronics Australia as the site is full of useful car audio information...... |
