Hi guys. I need you to intro me a CD-receiver (slot-type) as a replacement to the MyVI stock one. The CD-receiver shall be able to playback MP3 / CD / CDRW / FM and has clock display. As my main aim is to have MP3 playback capabilities, I'll stay on the stock speakers.

My budget is RM300-500. Most importantly, please recommend a good shop. My location is Cheras, KL.

* Pls don't reco any MP3 FM transmitter becoz the stock system already has problem with FM reception (szz szz noise). So, I'm thinking of 1-shot system change. I'm lazy to send the system back for warranty again.

skip the sony HUs, many users wont recommend u taking those ...but I heard those new ones are better made compared to last time but not sure laa...

if u want slot ones like u said sony before, better go for those entry level pioneer (seeing from ur budget RM300-500) HUs like 2850, 2950, 3850, 4850 or maybe better still 5750...

Im not sure whether ur preference includes motorised front panel where the slot is hidden like 4850 and 5750 but if u want direct loading disk slot, then 2850, 2950 and 3850 shud be good for ur usage...

sony HU is a no no. most of my friend regret after using it because their pickup very picky on CD. when new no problems but after 1 year the problems start poping out.

Eclipse HU nice and reasonable price...

eclipse mp3 players are over his budget ler

the pioneers would be a good recommendation

But Eclipse is the best between Pioneer, Kenwood, JVC & Sony..

wow... why so many people like Eclipse so much... cheapest I found in Parit Buntar is around RM700 while cheapest for Pioneer is only RM300 something... such gap... wonder what makes Eclipse so special. SQ?? Product quality?? Or just the brand??

i would say rm700 eclipse hu can pwn any pioneer price under rm1k

After you listen it, you will know....!

Thank you guys for the response. But, what about shops? Where should i get them, any recommendation? There are few car accessories shops nearby my house...in case no one reco...then I guess I'll drop by there sometime to check out the details.

then u top up the money for him to pay for the eclipse lor

over budget means over budget la.... u should be recommending the best WITHIN his budget.

He can borrow from me...

Hmm... For play any chapalng disc take Pioneer la.. but sound a bit kasar ...

Hmm...He have to try before buy la...
If he want a good HU with good sound, his budget not enough... my advise have to save loh..
If just can listen only.. buy Pioneer la.. got sound enough...

what are the price for the cheapest Eclipse HU in Penang??

The stock CD-receiver cannot mp3 right?

How much to change that one to another one which can play mp3?

few hundred untill few K ... lol

I don't need a high end one. Just an average player.

Preferable those that slot in a USB stick.

are u using myvi also ? if yes, then firstly if u want to use after market HUs, then u have to take out the OEM standard stock CD player with the bracket or frame it comes with, change to another frame or bracket which will enable u to put after market HUs .....for those brackets, I have seen from RM60 till RM150 also got, depending at the quality and where its sold....

for a normal HU which can play MP3/WMA discs along with the USB port capability for thumbdrive, can get almost any brands there is except those chaplang ones including brothers ...I havent seen pioneers one just yet, but I think JVC and kenwood already have those...between the 2, go for JVC...

No go for JVC.. because JVC player super skip disc than Sony HU..Now Sony Hu improved lao...

TS, just before you want to upgrade your HU. You need to set aside a budget for the bracket. Brackets can go from cheapo type RM60 from Brothers till RM250 Original Daihatsu ones. After that, you need to think which type of HU? 2-Din or 1-Din?
If you want a 1-Din ones, then you need to buy a compartment to fit it below your unit. Forget bout those 1-Din brackets, it doesn't look good to me. Sorry to those who have it. It is just personal taste.
