Hey guys im new to this side of the forum...im after a double din headunit to replace the factory premium sound system one on my el ghia, anyone know of any good ones? Also if it is a easy fit or takes abit of playing around? Looking around to spend max $400-$500

depends on what type of HU your looking for? ALPINE do a half decent HU for around $500, but you could always have a look at flea bay and check out the head units there. i got a US BOSS multimedia HU for $600 off ebay, is pretty good for the price i paid

hope this helps

Alpine for $500? Were abouts? Yea iv looked around mainly at jb hifi cant really see anything decent and a good price but il continue to look

Thanks anyways

Check alpine's website, jb hifi have nothing, try wow sight and sound if there's one in your area. They have a bigger range

I'm looking at buying one of these

my only concern is if i can playback and charge my iphone off it if not mp3 CD's

I just bought mine i got the sony xplode xav-60 its preety good

ok so i know this hasnt been touched in a month but i wanted to throw in my 2 cents worth.

Recently bought one of the 300 specials off ebay from china. DVD, dvb-T, GPS (dual zone), takes cd, cd-r, dvd, dvd -r +/-, USB interface, bluetooth with phone book, SD, ipod dock and mini usb interface. Plays MP3 MP4 avi wmv wma the freakin lot...even came with a reverse camera that sits nicely above the number plate....big chrome jobby that looks the part

I have to say freakin WOW, took me an hour to pull out the high end double din system in the LTD and slot this bad boy in and another 20 to update to the latest version of IGO maps.

The sound is loud and clear, the screen is bright and clear and it all just works...I had an issue hooking up to the aux style cable that goes to the amp (cause of the butcher that owned the car before me) so I had to cut and splice some wires. When I got the right plugs I went back to the supplier and asked for another set of plugs/cables for the back of the unit and I had them within 4 days... even got a call from the suplier in China to make sure i was happy with it.

About the ONLY down side I have found after 6 months is sometime the radio reception can be a lil bit on the low side.

Ohhh and when you turn it on it comes up with a bloody great big FORD logo that just about gives me a semi every time.

If anyone is interested let me know and I will troll through my ebay to get the supplier details

My mate had one of these chinese specials headunits until it stuffed up on him, cant remember what happened but he said should of spent the money and got something better

Landau I'd be keen on details if you have them.

clarion do one for about $430 ish with out nav
