hello ICE

- My ride: Myvi se 2013 1.3
- Prefers SQ/SPL/SQL: SQL
- File format/medium used for my source: mostly ipod
- Music genre: pop, rock, classical
- Budget: trying to save money as low as possible
- Setup type preferences: none

sifus this is more of a question than recommendation.

my old ride wira had a pretty new head unit which is kenwood dpx-u5130bt. i plan to transfer this head unit to my new myvi car but i was wondering is this doable? if it is possible what kinda cheap head unit can i get for my old wira or can i just transfer my 2013 myvi head unit to my wira?

im sorry if the question is silly total noobs regarding to ice and dont wanna get con going to the shop later on.

i together attach the photos for comparing and suggestions

yes u can, just buy from any accessory shop for the bracket, u can use back your kenwood hu, u cant use ur myvi hu into wira because the hu come together with the bracket.

Thanks Akallan. I'll check it out.
Does the Kenwood KDC-bt610U display the name of the MP3 file being played via the USB?
Also, if anyone here knows a good place to get this installed in Bayan Lepas, Penang, do let me know.

Hi Sifu, I plan to upgrade my original headunit for Honda city 2016 E spec model to Pioneer AVH-X595BT. I would like to DIY. Anyone here drive City and have upgrade your headunit?

Hi guys...

I'm driving Ford Focus TDCI. Recently all new cars have an android Head Unit with GPS navigation + Waze capability.

I wish to have those features as well in my car. But I am seriously lacking in terms of knowledge when it comes to HU.


What I want is a Head Unit with touchscreen, android and can use GPS / Waze as well (I travel often so GPS capability is a must have features for me). And then there's music. I WILL ALWAYS listen to music from CDs every time I drive. Having a SD card features would be a whole lot better since I can put in more songs in it.



What should I do now lol?

Reading above about "kenwood high end DDX9017S HU" gave me a bit headache. But seems interesting. If I buy it and it can't fit properly into my dashboard... what is the usual remedy the shop person will do?

No experience in this so that is why I'm asking.



Budget?

No definite budget as of now. I don't even know how much people usually spend to upgrade their Head unit. But I think I can adjust my budget accordingly to suggestion here.


Thanks guys.


*Edit: I live in Taiping, Perak. So closest big town area to me is Penang. Would be nice if you guys can recommend me shops around Taiping, Parit Buntar or straight away Penang.

**Edit 2 : Found the Kenwood DDX9017S HU the guys above are talking about in Lazada. Damm that thing costs RM 2688.00!! Well at least I got a figure to based my budget on.

Of course it will appear

How much are you willing to invest

Hello Sifus. I am looking for a basic setup to replace my stock speakers.
Newbie in ICE so I hope someone can guide and recommend on what is a good setup


- My ride: Mazda CX-5
- Prefers SQ/SPL/SQL: SQL
- File format/medium used for my source: Spotify and USB and Radio
- Music genre: Electronic Music (EDM, Techno, Hardstyle,etc) Pop and Rock ocasionally
- Budget: <RM2000
- Setup type preferences: any recommended setup?
- Other requirements (if any): I am not looking for a setup with a splitting hard bass where ppl can hear me from miles away. Just want a good setup to replace my stock speakers as they are lacking in clarity, not compact. I don't plan to replace the HUD but i am open for recommendations if i should change it


Previously, i spoke to the rep of a well known shop (the name will remain anonymous and i mod my car there before) and he recommended me that he have a new setup that doesn't require an amp but i read that most setups will have an amp. In addition, he said that with the tuning and the chip it will be as good as with amp. I have yet to drop by the shop to experience the demo set so i can only give my feedback once i visit his shop. Can anyone give an input of the differences with amp and without amp?

Regards

After reading for a while about ICE from all related thread in this forum... I'm changing my question a bit.


I owned an Edifier S350DB as my main speakers for my PC / music listening setup in my room.



Would it cost a lot if I want to have a level of sound quality that is at least equivalent to Edifier S350DB in my car?


To be exact... can I have such sound for less than Rm 2,000? And this includes the cost for Headunit as well.


Thanks.


*Willing to upgrade my budget to RM 3,000.

Hoping any sifus can reply to my post and help me out. Cheers!

Whats your plan actually bro? change speakers or add amp? Because changing either one also will improve your system..

With 2k budget, you also can get a decent amp and speakers..

I am planning to change the speakers and add a underseat subwoofer. Also about the amp, i am not sure if i must include because i know a guy who said he has a setup that doesnt need an amp ( i am assuming there is an internal amp built in if i take his setup)

I think he referring to DSP bro.. Digital Signal Processor with in built amp..

Thats a good stuff bro..

Cool. So I think i will go with his setup.
The range he proposes which below RM2k is able to achieve a solid sound system?

Depends on the tuning bro.. Is it crossfire brand bro?

I have no idea actually. He told me to visit his shop so he can explain to me and show me a demo too.

But i will take note of this crossfire brand you mentioned above. will update again by end of this week

Cheers bro!!
