so im thinking of removing my HU from the car... i wanna use that space to put monitoring meters like water temp, oil temp n oil pressure meters.

but i still may need some radio and maybe play some MP3s. wat are the possible options? i have 2 front speakers and thats about it....

dont need super duper sound quality...just something listenable....

initial thought was a 2ch amp with RCA-3.5" minijack and use HP....but then the MP3s will take up valuable space in the HP. if theres something that can read USB even better

LOW COST ideas pls


EDIT: forgot to mention, i do have spare cheapo 2ch amp... just dunno if its working or not.. lets just assume its working

Just buy a cheap portable mini mp3 player similar ipod.U need mini jack to rca converter.

damn... why didnt i think of that?

which means i still need the amp right?

oh n can still get radio?

Got many mp3 player with radio.You still need an amp because the power from the mini players not enough.

noted... wat about charging/battery power?

any cheap MP3 players u know of that can use the ciggie lighter socket?

Bro why not u put the headunit in the glovebox?

get a monitor visor w/ dvd player
you dont need radio because it supports usb dvd vcd cdaudio mp3
lightweigt ~100g only suitable for your track car

IPod classic. With the ciggy charger with AUX cord from Belkin. Basically load everything, forget about it.

coz glovebox is already full of crap me n my wife stuff in there hahahahahahha

besides... while driving abit tough to reach in the glovebox.. coz my wife will sit in the back seat with my baby boy.

can link me to a sample?

n u mean no radio reception? my wife listens to the radio alot... i......only listen to my exhaust when im driving


ipod has radio? dont really know anything about ipods..

the unit package w/ fm transmitter but we can just use its audio out connect to amp,

thanks... that is very interesting... gotta check it out one of these days..

u heard of any reviews regarding this product in terms of reliability etc?

Crap can be clean...Find one HU with remote and put the HU in ur glovebox....give ur wife the remote...

naah...i wanna get rid of the HU entirely... i still find it kinda big n cumbersome and taking up unnecessary space... space that i can actually use to keep crap in hahahahahahaha

i got a multimedia player that can support most of the format that you can find, the problem is the interface is go thru a screen, means u need a lcd to watch wat song it play and wat thing you doing....

btw, this player can watch video also if u have the screen

@madman

realibility, depends on on item price and grade (AA/A/F etc)
d sistacar (myvi) has it for 5years and still functioning well
got it for rm700, this was 5years ago, i think its cheaper now

if you thinking to buy it cheap from cash n carry shop, id only recommend superstar,,,,,

another (+) poin is you can connect its line out to earphone/IEM
so if you drive modded car you still have option to enjoy music w/ good sq
or
youre driving company/borrow car that cannot mod ICE

Madman : You memang madman la! Hahaha!

Aiya, want sound in your car but don't want HU? Buy a bigger memory card for your phone and hook it up to your car la. With or without amp can be done quite easily.

yeah...thats wat im trying to think of right now... how to do it without amp? doubt the output from the phone is strong enough for the speakers...

as for memory card.. my wife's phone cant put memory card and shes the one who listens to the radio/music in the car mostly.. if its just me, the HU aint even on...

and my phone... im thinking of getting the same as my wife's phone hahahahaha

or just buy a boombox and give to your wife in the backseat hahaha

Madman,

If your wife's phone can get radio via headphones, you can connect the phone to the amp and get radio on it. Since she like radio so much, just play radio. No need mp3.
