chrispiss Posted March 5, 2005 Posted March 5, 2005 Hey so I'm sick of my stereo now. I hate having to get into the trunk to change CD's. My CD changer is sensitive to CDR's. And the lack of RCA outs is kind of the last straw. So, I've been looking at in-dash 2-din mp3 cd players and I found this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=5756280502 I decided on that one because it is the sleekest looking one out there. I didn't want something that wouldn't match at all, and this one kinda matches the interior. My main concern is this though-this receiver has a basically rectangular shape. My stock unit has more of a curved, trapezoid kind of shape. How would this work? Are there bezels you can buy or mounting kits to make it fit better? Or has anyone here installed a 2-din size receiver and have experience to share? Or some pictures of it? Thanks!
timmay217 Posted March 5, 2005 Posted March 5, 2005 just buy an ipod......and hook it up to your cassette.......no more cd's and you can hide the ipod when you leave the car instead of having that display right in front.....gives a lot of attention to thieves
chrispiss Posted March 5, 2005 Author Posted March 5, 2005 yeah but that still doesn't really solve the rca issue. also I heard that the tape adapters don't sound as good.
exdotcomer Posted March 5, 2005 Posted March 5, 2005 yeah but that still doesn't really solve the rca issue. also I heard that the tape adapters don't sound as good. ← the ones that sound bad are the 3 dollar cassette adapters. I bought one for $15 at walmart...I use both my 3g ipod and now my new shuffle and they both sound great in the car. the trick is to adjsut the volume on the deck and the mp3 player. That's it.
chrispiss Posted March 7, 2005 Author Posted March 7, 2005 anybody know about the bezel/install kit and how it looks or if there's anything even available?
SKperformance Posted March 8, 2005 Posted March 8, 2005 read the FAQ mp3's sound like crap anyway using a tape convertor is negligable since they both offer low quality reproductions
chrispiss Posted March 8, 2005 Author Posted March 8, 2005 The FAQ doesn't say anything about a double-din bezel, only the single one, which I don't want because it would look out of place. that double-din one I showed would reasonably flow with the rest of the car and it keeps the 2-din size.
SKperformance Posted March 8, 2005 Posted March 8, 2005 you are going to have to make a custom bezel for it then since the stock space is not square
