Sell Your Jdm Stereo

[rtune]

Like many others who buy imports you find yourself stuck with a JDM stereo that is no

good for local conditions. Won't play local DVDs, unusable Navi, FM stage wrong, etc.

Advice on this forum was to "bin it". But I had it all removed and took pictures, and

sent them to a japan auction buying service. They listed it on yahoo in Japan and handled

any queries. It sold yesterday for 85,000 yen which is money for old rope as far as I

was concerned. I sent it express (cost $120) and the service is going to rebox, and send

domestically to the lucky buyer who will probably get it inside a week. They charged 10%

for this service. I'll probably get $1300 out of the whole exercise. It was a 2004 model, btw,

with outdated maps.

Anyway, there you go. If you know the model number of your stereo you can easily do

a search to see if items are being listed and what they are getting bid to or what buy-now

price is on them. For older/simpler units it not be worth it but I know some people

have had cars with similar units to the one I just sold - flip out screen, hard disc, navi,

that kind of thing - so my advice is to check before you "bin it"!

what site did you look on....? I have a full Pioneer Cozzorria set up, head unit, under seat surround sound thingo, GPS, DVD player, screen and harddrive that I wanted to shift, who did you contact?

[Chris Rogers]

if you have a OE radio (IE 2din clarion tape/cd from 95/96 or so) I'll take those. I can convert them to oz freqs and fix them.

I'll send you a PM, because I'm not sure they want to deal with random people

asking them to shift stuff that is unlikely to sell. If you can't find your model listed

already on auctions.yahoo.co.jp by others, it might be a dead end.

The one I had there are always about half a dozen or more units listed any day of the

week, even though it was a 2004 and quickly outdated.

nope only after those and V35 ones. I'm hacking a carozzerria avic now (with a local unit.) so I may at some stage grab another. dont offer them to me..

I've got one of those double din's (tape/cd) if it's wanted/needed?

Chris, with the ipod control, is that utilised via the cd stacker function?

In turn choose 'disc1' for ipod 'playist1', 'dics2' for ipod 'playlist2' and so on.

Or does it just play the the songs sequentually and/or randomly from start to finish.

I've got the Clarion DR9675z which is about 10 years old now, bought the clarion ipod control (cenet)

unit about 1 year ago, and it just uses the ipod like a cd stacker, just name my playlist Clarion1, Clarion2 etc... Basically brought my functionality up to date with current model units.

I was wrapped with this...good thinking Clarion to maintain their cenet standard across various units over the years.

p.s. Does the navi unit have any touch screen functionality? Thinking of purchasing one as to integrate with a car pc.

[Chris Rogers]

it is. its not C NET though. N bus is what these things run. the ipod lead is a aftermarket lead. same idea as the EA1251/79 that you have.

regarding navi - ring me.

[Chris Rogers]

also send me a pic of the radio you have.

[turbo_brian]

Chris, what about Soarer double DIN units (non EMV)???

B.

[Chris Rogers]

the fujitsu unit?

in what respect - reworking the FM band and fixing the thing or do I want it?

[Stagea_Neo]

Ahh yeah.. simple enough.

Will send a pic through tonight of my unit, im at work presently.

Just clicked on your link, having a look at your website now, will give you a call during the week.

Cheers Chris

site needs a update. I'm working on v2 now.

[Stagea_Neo]

sorry, posted these pics a bit later than i said.

[Chris Rogers]
