    Single DIN 7" headunit

    Hi

    My std headunit has a crappy radio reception so I think its time to replace and found this on ebay with bluetooth, gps, etc.

    Anyone have installed one of these on D2 or do you think it will fit.

    I can't imagine you'll be happy with the quality. Check out the local specials/sales at your local car parts stores. You should be able to find a Clarion brand unit for only $100.00 more.

    Not sure the reception will necessarily get much better with the replacement. Is there a fault with your antenna perhaps or the connection loose/disconnected?

    Not just the reception is not good but the cd is also not good. It saya cd error. I have not checked the antenna yet. I saw on othe thread a replacement unit might give better reception.

    Hey mate i work in a local autobarn store, from what ive seen pioneer have the best radio tuners on the market with the alpine units coming a close second. Thats if your after just radio. I know clarion navigation use's hema maps for off road nav and alpine use there own version which i think is based of OzExplorer.

    I have a unit same or very similar to this. Despite being highly recommended within the industry, AM radio reception is crap and not much better with my external bullbar mounted aerial, but FM is pretty good. Having said that, the limestone and electric train power lines create havoc, so you might not be as badly affected

    Ddi install it on D2 or P38 ? If you can upload the pic that would be great. I am not sure whether it will fit on D2. I know it is single DIN and it will fit but I am not sure whether the screen will fit when out. Thanks.

    It looks good but It is out of my budget. Do you think you can upload the pic to see where it sits on D2 std single DIN space? Thanks

    Same here. Bought a similar Xtrons D711G about 3 years ago as well and for the price I have been happy with it. Has DVD player, gps, rear camera input, external monitor output, 7inch 800x480 flip out screen. But if I was to replace then I would focus on a higher quality name brand DVD player and keep the gps as a separate standalone unit.

    The complaints I do have with xtrons units is the screen is a bit dim in bright light, and the Bluetooth quality is poor.

    Would love to get the Clarion navigation unit but the price is higher than I can justify.
