Hi guys, any good recommendations for a good car audio? Any shop recommended for fair pricing and good service?

My budget is < RM2k, can support CD (must), MP3 (must), WMA (optional), cassette (optinal). Prefer double din but single din one is acceptable.

BTW, what I am looking for is the player unit only. Not looking for amplifier or speakers.
Thanks in advance for the recommendations guys! biggrin.gif

With this budget.. you can get lots of good stuff..... variety....

1. 2-Din unit Clarion
2. 2-Din unit Kenwood
3. 2-Din unit Alpine (not sure malaysia got market.... but OEM got)
4. 2-Din unit Panasonic

Most people will take CLarion or Kenwood Double Din player.....
Nowadays, some advance 2-Din player comes with MiniDisc, CD, CD changer, DVD Changer, MP3 Playback..........

Yeah, been seeing Clarion and Pioneer 2 din HU. The Clarion 2 din came with Honda Jazz is not bad too but dunno how much it cost. But one attract me the most is the Kenwood 2 din HU with touch screen one. Saw it in BEST at KLCC, with 6.5" TFT screen and DVD player somemore. Cost RM4K~5K, so expensive, but impressive...hehe biggrin.gif if i m not mistaken, the stock HU in BMW is provided by Nakamichi? How expensive is a 2 din Nakamichi?

Just their attitude isit? Bound to happen as they don't have to come looking for customers, we are the idiots who come looking for them as they always offer dirt cheap prices.

Anyway is that it? Just bad attitude? Actually i've heard ppl telling not to get their accesories fixed in Brothers, because some insider would follow you home and break into your car and steal it.

Very lame i know, but i thought ppl were referring to this when they said heard alot of bad things about brothers.

tho only thing i know about some brothers shop r bad workmanship..
well, not all brothers r like that..

since the thread starter have a huge budget juz for 2-din cd mp3 player, check out clarion n alpine..
clarion usually have a decent look , while alpine quite fancy [cbright colour buttons etc]

well, since my budget so low, i settled for pioneer 3750 doh.gif laugh.gif
