haha sucked in!!! you not ballin!!! and what you mean skynet takes over today? whats that mean??? apparently to get the best quality audio from the W407 you need to get the umm ...IMPRINT sound quandmodulifier space capacitor which is about $100 exrtra - but this reviewer says: "This unit is just simply amazing.. I installed it on my X100 deck yesterday and WOW. The difference in the quality of the sound is like night and day. Much more clear.. The pre-out are a much higher voltage. There are hundreds of setting, including timing correction for perfectly tune you system... This is by far the most important purchase on my system" and to all doubters of warranty: Alpine products are warranted solely by Sonic Electronix, Inc. under the same period and terms as the original Alpine warranty.

for $299 for a sumsung tablet, you can just a pay guy to custom fab you up a slot... it's a hell of a lot better than a carPC in my opinion but yeah audio wise i think im just going to kick it oldschool with the alpine unit - i care more about audio than i care about being able to watch chingy music videos to impress my leb mates.

sonny q sorry about that useless post i just did - i was typing it on my ipod and it died halfway thru... hence that mega typo... "Failing that many alpine units have a seigneurs you can set the badnwidth to" ^^^what!?!?!?! ANYWAY i'll continue what i was saying... downside of the alpine W407 is: it's mechless - meaning there's no CD player, no DVD player.. etc etc... it's purely digital. meaning it works only with USB connection or bluetooth up side of the alpine W407 is: it's mechless - meaning there's no CD player, no DVD player.. etc etc... it's purely digital. meaning it works only with USB connection or bluetooth ...which means... no more CDs sitting in your: centre console glovebox that window visor thing that your relative bought you for xmas two years ago that holds 5 cds which you're too worried to throw out in case they say something under your chair on your floor in your boot it also means there's no more unlabelled fkn blue coloured non descript CDRs that you find around that you have no idea what they are and you wonder what's on it only to find out that it's the fkn foo fighters - which is annoying cos you dont even know why you even HAVE The foo fighters cos you hate them. and you wonder how the fk your car keeps re-spawning these foo fighters cds cos you SWEAR that everytime you find it - you chuck it out the window and yet every time you find a fkn blue coloured non labelled CDR you can bet your bottom dollar that you hear the buttery drawl of Dave Grohl singing long road to ruin where was i. oh yeah no more fkn cds everywhere you just have an iPod / iphone that you can plug it in stealth styles and just control your entire music library using the deck. cool huh. same goes with all your movies too! the best part about it is that you'll have an ipod / iphone to carry with you for games / emails / music etc linque... http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_20622_Alpine-iXA-W407.html Troy - while i agree that it's good to support local business and everything of that nature.. that particular unit is $400 AUD delivered. that includes: head unit wiring harness to suit your car so it's plug n thug din frame mounting kit to buy that unit in australia is special order for $1400 through alpine - that's not including the bits n bobs ...so while i like protecting australias industry... for once - - - i say just protect yourself! we've spent YEARS with our dollar matching 65 US cents, why not have some fun while the dollar is at $1.06!!!! the world ends in 2012 anyway

the japanese would most likely buy that. those guys are crazy with their ironic backwards technology i still can't get my head around why the japanese love minidiscs... like, why would you favour a really non-user friendly format of compact disc that is a ridiculously compressed system which kills sound quality! anyway - Troy - after giving it some though - i'm in two minds about it... i like the alpine because it will give good sound quality.. in that... i'll be using MP3s... RAW Mp3 too.. so the alpine software will correct the peaks and the crackles that come with MP3 formats, plus the varying volume levels within the different MP3... plus level out the bitrates of the Mp3... ....but if i use the galaxy tablet.. it will have the crisp awesome display and have all the other features... although i imagine the sound quality will suck balls.. and i dont know if i'll be able to connect the galaxy up to a head unit via USB to the alpine deck (for example) and still have control of the music via the tablet... =( what would YOU do?

....REALLY!? they are my least favourite type R made from my least favourite civic body.. i cannot fathom how anybody can like them :S get a movie car like a car that's been in a movie like the fast n furious jetta. haha edit - who am i to talk ... i like Z30 and Z40 soarer! -
well the first movie came out ten years ago so it is possible that colours may have faded, or even had a respray... besides... how can you EVEN tell that the colour is different.. like - between seeing a movie released ten years ago, and seeing a dodgy grainy japanese auction house picture in a shed under fluro lights... how can you tell if the colours are different? i am reporting your post and calling for your banning. admittedly... it didn't have the carbon bonnet before but as i said, it is possible that they may have changed the bonnet... i dunno - my jury's out.. but still... looks interesting? i mean - you look at how much YOUR car has changed in the last 6 months.. imagine that process over ten years...

i know all about pandora, Troy and yes it sucks we can't get it.. okay just went to shop in my lunchbreak and priced up a samsung galaxy tablet. $299 outright unlocked thru telstra. fwoor. and yes i was researching soundman last night ... i've been watching what he does for months now - he seems like a total dolt but he's actually quite smart!!! im at work, so no youtube unfortunately im going to research a little bit more to make sure that the galaxy can put out decent quality audio thru an alpine unit... if it can, i'll be buying one this afternoon Troy can you please teach me a bit more about these things you know? I'm Rowan by the way, i don't think we've spoken before

oh and - you can also make phone calls with the galaxy tab. no more faggoting about with blueteeth.

hey everyone okay so - ages ago i imported a soarer - soarer came without a stereo (yeah yeah laugh it up) anyway i am looking at getting a full tabouleh double din touch screen unit... namely the alpine W407 from the states.. because that's very cheap with our exchange rates my only draw backs of the unit are: i don't really like the interface all that much - seems a bit messy... it's not an out of the box unit - ie: if you want the sat nav, you have to buy the expander etc etc lastly - no detachable face - i know times have changed and nicked stereos are getting less common, but still i like to know i can remove the face... so i got to thinking... WHAT IF.... ...what if i get a REALLY cheap nasty shitty stereo that has decent output and a USB input (like some entry level single din alpine unit) ...then buy a samsung galaxy tablet.. and just custom fabricate some mounts from fibreglass so that it can slot into my centre console LIKE a stereo.. ..and feed the sound through the speakers via USB connection? i mean to THINK about that for a minute... if i DID that, i would have all my music, videos, GPD sat nav, google maps, etc etc not to mention the fact that i can use apps like TuneIn radio to listen to internet radio from all over the world via 3GS connection.. plus the ability to multi task (ie listen to music while GPS is doing it's thing) ALL consolidated into the one "thing" that uses a hi definition amoled screen, that has a really responsive touch to it.. and when i'm finished my journey, i just slide it out of the custom bracket that i've made, and take it with me.. as opposed to a double din touch screen which stays in the car awaiting a theif... the other up shot is obviously being that the tablet wouldn't be hard-wired to the car, that would mean that i wouldn't need to worry about installing bypass devices that prevent me from using video playback functions without the car being stopped etc.. ...am i crazy for thinking this??? is this WAY too hard? call me crazy but i think it's a decent idea - and before you ask - YES i have thought of the iPad and frankly i'd prefer an iPad - im addicted to apple stuff after buying my ipod touch... BUT ...i need to think about SIZE!!!! so am i onto a good wicket? or should i just get the double din unit...

didnt work. =( guess i better get the lube ready ?

hey fellas have an oldschool fat PS3 put disc in. disc spins disc won't read wont attemp to read it wont even allude to there being a disc in there.. but the disc is spinning becuase label comes out at different direction to how it went in.. NOW - i have read that the disc readers are prone to fault, easy way to spot fault is if disc doesn't spin at all.. because the disc won't SPIN, unless the laser recognises there's a disc - apparently so according to what the internet has told me - it's recognising there is a disc in there. but it's still being a cunt tooth. any ideas?? and yes - i know a car forum is not the place to ask this sort of technical support related question, but right now i cannot afford to pay a legit nerd to diagnose a fix
