I have been looking for a while and my eclipse is starting to frustrate me(when plaing from usb it swithes back to radio when you turn the car off). I am chasing a double din with GPS, DVD & USB playability.

I have seen the Clarion NX509A at soundmaster for $800.

If there is anything better in my price range($800-$1000) please let me know, im about to take the plunge

I have not found much out there with gps under a grand, all suggestions are welcome.

I have seen the JVC KWAVX746NAV within my budget aswell as a SONY.

Ive found my new head unit

Just waiting for it to come in.

Im going a bit above budget with a Blau new york 800.

Thanks for the replies

Yep. I'm in the same situation - I too bought a Blaupunkt NY 800, still waiting for mine too. Spec wise it seems like a pretty cool system.

I have got the new head unit and its installation time..

I opened the box and i think i need a pro. I have done quite a few before but this car is my other baby and i dont want to get it wrong.

If anyone knows a good installer on the central coast (nsw) let me know.

I just need a basic install using existing setup and exchanging my single din for a double din with gps

Head unit and new ecu have been in for a while now and its time to update the front speakers and get a 4 channel amp.

The blau looks the goods but sound is a bit poor

I listen to all types of music from rammsten to radiohead

All the wiring is there from the previous owner so hoping to get a quality sound for about $5-600?

Any advice is welcome and acted apon

    • I’m only posting this cause I thought I had seen a bad review on these somewhere before. Any feedback? Would you guys recommend that if I do buy these I send em to RC to have em checked before installing. Or any other suggestions?   https://www.ebay.com/itm/114009965865?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=JDl-15yLQ8C&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=QTzlFXB1S-S&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
