Hey guys and girls, Im looking to upgrade my stereo in my 2008 Aurion ZR6...for the speakers im going with JL Audio C2 6.5'" coaxials for the front and JL Audio C2 6X9" 3 way speakers for the back (hope these both mount good as ive seen someone else on the forum has installed them and the sound quality is great).

As for the head unit I would really appreciate some help for an aftermarket head unit as I would like to keep the "stock look." Ive read the forum through and through and cannot find any concrete evidence as to what exactly is the best aftermarket head unit....is it the Easydeals unit?? is it the DigOptions unit?? is it the Auspack unit?? is it the AutoTunez unit??

Im going crazy...someone please help me and let me know which is the best unit out there at the moment that maintains the "stock look" and performs great too.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Jono ^_^

There is no "best" option. Each unit has their pros and cons. It all comes down to what you can live with and what you can't.

ok thanks DJKOR...what im after is:

* using iPod while driving ( i have an iPod classic 80gb) - ipod must charge while plugged in too and steering wheel controls must work.

* using navigation and being able to change ipod tracks at the same time while in navigation

* using dvd player/ cd player

* using a rear-view camera

* using the radio (gotta listen to my gold 104.3 haha and nova fm)

* using the AUX port

no need for bluetooth so if that comes along with the aftermarket head unit im not too fussed but will not use it.

thats all i can think of so far...any advice guys??

Ok does that work with the rear camera and does the steering control work at all?

Sounds good. I would rather have professional install it for me than myself as I am a complete noob. I am more of computer IT than a mechanic!

I would also suggest doing it yourself :) I usually pay people to do my car stuff for me (IT guy myself as well.) But the head unit is EXTREMELY simple!!

For example: yellow plug in yellow hole, red plug in red hole, square plug in square hole...

Really like the look of that unit....Was weighing up between the Pioneer AVIC-F40BT and one of these units, really starting to lean towards this.

Can anyone give any info on the Sygic Maps some units use? Good? Bad? Also, can it do live traffic info updates?

I was playing around with the sound and balance settings on my 2011 Touring (6 speakers); I swear it seemed like the speakers in the front doors and top of the dash were producing more and better bass than the rear speakers (allowing for distance)

I was looking at the new model head unit and it looks good:

http://www.eonon.com/Car-GPS/Specific-Car-GPS/D5116.html

Has any one on this forum purchased this unit and are there any negative points to consider. I had a look at the standard unit installed in my Prodigy. Would not know where to start to take it out. Are there any guidelines on the forum. There does not seem to be a search function.

I had a look on you-tube and there were links showing you how to remove and install

Has anyone purchased the Eonon D5116?

If so how does it perform?

Will it work with the factory fitted reverse camera?

Cheers Rob

Also a Q regarding the D5116 - it looks like it supports analog TV only :blink: Any cheap/easy way to get Digital?

Alternatively, any thoughts on this one:

ok.... so I got my unit, but bugger me trying to install it lol. I'm trying to get the original out, and videos suggest I need to take out a screw or two from underneath the aircon controls.... I can see two screws, but they are quite far back and in the corners... are those the ones? Also, do I need to unclip any extra facia other than the upright parts? Cheers :)

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
