Go figure.

I am going to ditch the audio processor. Its taking way too long to ship due to back order. So I am debating if I should get a single Din or Double din. Looking at the Alpine unit with bluetooth built in and Ipod. I really dont like how alpine makes u buy the add on for the really good units.

Add on what?  Bluetooth and iPod.  All you need is a cable for the iPod.  I've tried 2 of their bluetooth systems and have been miserably disappointed so far.  I still use my bluetooth ear piece since it has the best sound quality on both ends.  Of course, I think it's the best bluetooth ear piece on the market at the moment.

for the high end decks you have to buy the blue tooth unit and its 100 bucks. lol

Yeah, that's a lot of shit they have.  I'm not crazy about any car bluetooth integration.  Every one I've used sucks.  I'll stick with my headset.

[thisaznboi88]

yeah... lol Audio stuff is confusing. I really wish there were better audio stores around my area. Best Buy and Frys are really bad place to test out stuff.

Look for a good car audio installer.  They usually have a show room with an area that you can listen to different speakers.  Also, check out some manufacturers websites and look for authorized dealers.

okay I checked out the P3300Bt and it looks very promising for the price.

Hey Guys. Me Again. I FINALLY have everything to Install my Audio System but I'm having a HARD time finding a way to pass the power cable from the engine bay to the inside of the car. Can anyone point out how to? I have a v6/6mt Coupe if that helps at all. Thanks !

Search and You'll find the answer you seek.

There's a handy little grommet between the clutch and brake pedal. It goes into the frame rail directly underneath the CMS and there's a handy hole on the side of said frame rail. Pop that grommet out and shine a flashlight through. You'll see what I'm talking about.

[timot_one]

^What they both said.

[Antoni0_23]

Thanks ! I'll be installing my system this week hopefully.

What the eff? My CD player (the stock 6 disc) came back from the dead this morning, It couldn't play CDs anyways because I have an aftermarket HU in the cubbyhole but I thought I might be able to get my CDs out but alas they wouldn't come out...it's weird the radio and all the displays worked perfect but pressing the cd/aux did nothing wouldn't even go to CD mode but for some reason now it is...:/ I want my CDs back lol anyway to get them out short of ripping the thing apart? And what would cause my cd player to resurrect?
