Want to ask about reliability...

DEH 4950 vs DEH 5950. Not about spec.

But which one has a more lasting and less problem encounter.

Direct slot in or Flap slot?

I know 5950 flap slot is cool looking yet wonder will it break off some day or even jammed?

dun think it will snap~ using my 5750 for around 15 mths already. Take good care of it when opening it up unless u r too clumsy~ no offense.

My 7450MP still work fine after nearly 3 years.

have been using deh 2950 for 4 years already, its still alive. lol

that means is safe to use Flap type then? 5950 is good choice?

DEH 2950 was manufactured on 2006 right?

my bad, i bought the one is entry level one, come to think of it, it starts with deh 2...... cant remember, later when i drive i will check again LOLOLOL

im using the alpine 9833 which has a motorized flap thingy.. can adjust to 3 angle levels somemore which is friggin cool honestly....

but personally....i still prefer direct slot. not so leceh to wait for the faceplate to come down only reason i bought this one was because there werent any Alpine players with direct slot AND black color faceplate at the time that could fit my requirement and budget. this was the best one. so i hentam saja la...and no regrets though

i'm using an alpine 9815, 2003 model if i not mistaken..so now..4 years old already still no problem.. the motorized faceplat is working well..

i think its more of a preference issue.

then whats the best way to practice how to safely use the flap face type?

flap face, the vulnerability is the contact point on the flap face and the main unit. over time the area will oxidise and thus the contact will deteoriate. common problems will be the flap's display wont show up, cannot control the volume, etc.

motorized face - more moving parts but prevents dust from entering the disc slot. cons: usually non detachable.

its basically the choice of users in the end.

btw jimmylim85: feel free to attend a mini ICE TT this Tuesday (20/2/07) @ coffee shop opposite TESCO in Ipoh Garden East, 2PM onwards.

Is it flap face?

Btw you installed on the lower or the upper bracket?

Yeah, flap face, i'm using the upper bracket.

seems like everyone prefered using the upper bracket... thought lower just to stick back to original... but when cd pop out... thats the problem arise...
