What head unit is this???

[SS8_Gohan]

Hi everybody!

Does anyone know what head unit is this?? Even a company/manufacturer would be very helpful!

sorry about the bad quality, was cropped and blow up from smaller pics.

if anyone has any ideas, it would be greatly appreciated. I was told could possibly be cd/cassette, but doesn't look like a cassette could fit anywhere. Looks like a CD slot up the very top, but i don't know what the rest is for

cheers!

thats gunna be really for someone to identify unless theyve got one...

[sliksilvia]

pull it out and take a look behind it

[SS8_Gohan]

i don't actually have the car yet (bought, but stilll in japan) hence the bad quality pics.

just wondering does anyone even recognise just the general layout of the head unit? Does it look like a Sony or JVC, etc? I've tried Clarion, Addzest, JVC, Phillips, Pioneer, but none of their cd receivers look like this one. Not surprising, this head unit could be quite a few years old, so could still be one of the above brands, but just an older model and hence not on the site anymore.

cheers.

I had a very similiar one like that in my R32. It loooks like a

Carrozera (Pioneer) Deck. Very good decks, Heaps and Heaps of options, even weird ones like kareoke...(it had this button, and it took out all the vocals) very werid...

I think those japs like to sing along..

YEP..........

i agree looks like a PIONEER deck

cheers guys, i'll go googling now and see what i come up with. Might check ebay and that as well, i'm guessing this head unit is a few years old. Car is 1998.

[SS8_Gohan]

ah HA!!! thanks guys, i think i've got a match on a Carrozzeria head unit.

Presenting the Carrozeeria FH-P7000MD!

http://search.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/sear...cale=0jp&acc=jp - (just click on the model name, should show some pics )

what do ya think? same head unti?

if it is, i've scored a MD/CD unit! And my portable music of choice is MD! Got a Sony MZ-R91, bout 20 MD's, so this should be quite handy

yeha my car came with a carrozzeria cd player and carrozerria tv and sat nav.

the head unit was OK but useless as it didnt come with a remote so half the shit didnt work and the function button on the head unit was busted so you couldnt adjust anything, the remote has a function button too. sold if for $150

[SS8_Gohan]

hmmm... hopefully all is working with my unit. Although, yours sounds a bit more complicated with TV and SAT Nav.

I'm just happy i've got an MD unit, cos i've actually got MD's. Such a good audio medium, Sony wasted it completely, didn't put any marketing behind it in this country. Could have been very big.... oh well.

fingers crossed regarding the remote, if i don't get it, hopefully i won't need it Remote do anything more, than a 100% working head unit would do?

[CAL4SX]

it is pioneer jap version and you will not get any AM stations and you may miss a few FM as well

[paulr33]

yeah your fm will only be from 76 to 89 then back to 76 again, it wont go above 89.9

Hey Chinny, congrats on the car mate. E-mail me details/pics!

[SS8_Gohan]

Oh hey, forgot about this thread.

Cheers Nick!! a slightly happy chappy - I sent ya an email, and i whored a bit of SAU space with a couple of threads about it Vic and General sections. Cos some vic people don't like to leave their state I've got a lot of help from there so i thought i'd let ppl know how it all turned out.

[Dodgy Pomme]

hey guys

just imported a car from Japan and it had a carrozzeria FH-P7000MD fitted. you need to have a band expander fitted so i was told by the guy that imported it for me. Did you get a user manual with it in english? there are a lot of features on it, but the most annoying one is not knowing how to change the Clock!! I've been searching the net trying to find one, thats how a came across this thread.
