I can only find that hideous "xplod" 680, and slim pickings on eBay. where can I find a dash unit ? (it has to be sony, I have a CD changer in the car) does anyone convert the japanese models for usa ? what are my options ? please help, I am doing INSANE without tunes.

a7244270 Posted January 14, 2003 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2003 the kenwood one looks better than the xplod one, but then it wouldn't control my cd changer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted January 14, 2003 Report Share Posted January 14, 2003 forgot to add, you'll have to buy an FM band expander ($40-$50) to be able to use the Japanese FM tuner in US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a7244270 Posted January 14, 2003 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2003 I read that even with the expanders you still dont' get full range ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leland Posted January 16, 2003 Report Share Posted January 16, 2003 How much are you willing to pay and how long are you willing to wait? I have two MD head units(should be in my sig), Not the ugly Xplod ones, that I am not using. I can't get to them until around Feb 18th (thats a long story). PM me if you are interested.

norrad Posted February 3, 2003 Report Share Posted February 3, 2003 Hi, I have an MDX-C8900, an MDX-C670, and a MDX-C800REC. the last one is an ugly xplod unit, but it isn't as ugly as some and it records/edits, which is pretty cool on road trips. The 8900 is my second favourite (8970's rock!!) and is a ES model, very clean looks. Let me know if you're interested in any. norrad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
