Hey all, im looking at getting a decent DVD HU, pre-requisits include obviously

- DVD playback

- "Giga" mp3 dvd (a dvd full of mp3's)

- has a USB function

- I want it to be double din as i don't want it to pop out over the ac controls

- naturally a good price is great

I came across this JVC unit (KW-AVX800) which to me seems to be quite good, if anyone has any suggestions or input, id like to hear it, here is a link to the site i may purchase it from.

Hey mate,

I was looking at getting the JVC AVX-810, the price on the website is a lill high though, JB do them for $840 cash money:D

The difference between the JVC AVX-800 and JVC AVX-810 is the 810 has a detachable face plate. Still the same price ($840)

I heard good things about the 810, but from what I have seen the screen quality on the Sony XAVW1 Double Din is allot better. Go into JB and play with the 2, they are both screen adjustable. Tilt them both to the max they can go, and then look from the top and bottom you will see that the Sony’s picture remains sharp and clear while the JVC at full tilt will loses clarity and sharpness as well as colour.

From what I have read and seen, bang for your buck (considering they both have roughly the same futures) is the Sony. You can get them at $800 from JB cash money (a mate got his for $740 so depends on which JB you go to) plus they come with a 2 year warranty.

I have 2 friends which have the Sony Double Din (1 IS IN A Subaru Impreza 2008, and the other is in a 200sx s15) and they love it, the only problem I saw was that when you make a DVD music CD and put too many songs it takes a while for it to read them!

Hope that helped,

Vlad

Ok cool, thanks for that man,

The thing that is pushing me to the JVC unit though is that it supports A hard drive throught USB

in one of those vids, the guy explains that even though the specs for the unit say that it only supports up to a 10gb HD, he has a 160gb drive in his glove box and it runs perfectly fine, so i'd really like to do the same.

On the JB site they have the JVC KWAVX710 for $849 and the sony XAVW1 for $798 but they don't list the JVC AVX800 or AVX810

    • Adjusting the idle screw is usually (emphasis on usually) just covering up deeper issues. Stuff like the cold start valve not closing properly. Throttle shaft seals on the way out. Coolant temp sensors getting out of spec. Coolant temp sensors especially can be a bear to diagnose because they can fail subtly. My dad just spent weeks chasing down his high idle. He cleaned the coolant temp sensor and everything but the resistance curve just drifts over time and if it's been 20+ years they also get super slow to respond as well. Has a massive effect on fuel economy as if it's off the ECU is going to run richer and command high idle for far longer than it should otherwise.
    • How old is the battery, it's more likely your battery is on its way out.
    • I reckon you'd get 90% off. My washer doesn't get between spokes very well. Haha! I love my Gerni!  Argh! Steam cleaning has its place for sure.
    • Hey all, I did a voltage test with the car (video attached) not running for 3 days. And here is some interesting stuff: - Battery voltage is 12v (I had the key in the ON position) - Drops to 9.76v while cranking then quickly goes up to 14.5v - You will notice there was a sorta slow start but not as slow as it usually is. - Idle surprisingly was better at just over 1,000rpm instead of 1,100 rpm. - I turned on the A/C, radio and headlights in the video and the voltage remains the same - I haven't cleaned the grounding wires on the chassis yet, that's next. - Battery drops to 12.6v when I turn off the car and wait a bit Seems like I might have a parasitic draw? I do have an immobiliser system which does drain the battery more of course but was wondering if there is anything else I should be looking at fixing? Does the ground wires on the chassis have anything to do with the low 12v?        SAU.avi
    • My lord that is some low oil pressure as minimum in the manual! I guess the big part will be seeing how it changes as the engine gets more spirited use.
