Found an HU that fits the E30 !

[StereoInstaller1]

1. Panasonic is/was easily my favorite, best build quality of any major brand, ever. Inarguably the most reliable aftermarket decks ever made, they just missed the mark in marketing and design.

2. Love how you guys post decks from 10 years ago and say "I love mine"...don't you think that is kinda dumb? How the hell is that gonna be useful input for Pierre here? Yes, that blau looks OK and is an awesome deck, but is nothing like the new stuff. That deck also has my absolute favorite feature that should be included on ALL car stereo ever..."FIX VOLUME" kicks ass.

3. As far as you guys who like the look of Alpine...well, WTF, I suppose it is your dashboard, right? I would be just as happy with the CD changer input on a "slider" converted to a AUX input myself...someone needs to get that handled!

4. There have only been 1 or 2 decks in history that look "right" IMO, and the CD43 is not on that list. The Denon DCT-Z1 (in black) is the only deck that truly looks better than stock to me! A couple of the Naks are OK looking too, but they are junk so who cares...if the damn thing breaks just sitting in the box, it is junk.

YMMV.

I just picked this combo up for my future E28 M5 car.

That Blau has everything I'll ever need. Aux input, CD player, Radio tuner, low-level RCA outputs, and class. It doesn't look that the retarded shit that's coming out these days. Not to mention I haven't seen a deck released that looks proper in an E30 in probably 5-7 years.

Oh...you need to fuck off completely. VU meters? Fuck you SO much. Those never even came to the US!

Quick Ninja EDIT: put those in your will to me, then hurry up and die. Kthxbye

100% in agreement, but still useless in this thread.

If that Blau was 5mm "thinner" in the face I would get one and add some kind of USB controller. The whole "iPod on a string" does not get it for me, but lots of guys like it that way.

BTW: there is a adapter that will charge your iPod and give you audio out, but only a fixed volume...but your deck controls volume anyway, right?

I so need to find a broken changer to see if I can figure out how to make an AUX for the Slider deck...

[BimmerTim]

Yup, the only thing I don't care for is the face thickness. It protrudes just a tad too much.

The deck controls volume for the ipod. I have a cable that has a usb and the audio plug for my ipod. I have that plugged into an adapter for power. That only leaves me with one cable I need to plug into my ipod, so it's not so bad.

I bought this thing:

The CD player is already making funny noises, but HD radio is really nice to have. It's cheap and comes from a major manufacturer.

[CO318is]

Damn, that Denon set looks amazing.

Seriously! Sickest equipment i've ever bought! I'll will them to you because I think my wife will dead me if she knew how much I spent on a 10 year old CD player for a 22 year old car. :???:

Slider deck... are you talking about a pull out? damn.


Here is a picture I just took of them together, They showed up in the mail today, so I'm a bit excited:crazy:






Sorry OP for the thread hijack.

[StereoInstaller1]

No, the one with the infrared slider control from a '91 E30, typically.

So, tell us how much you dropped on the Z1 and the meter?

[E30Nova]

I still like how they look better than most other head units.

Is it really an issue if you're pumping music from an ipod, and using amps?

This.

They may have a lot of ricer rainbow colors, but they still look better than the majority of other head units.

And wtf Luke, my Alpine has been rockin strong for like.....6 years or so...and still no problems...so I dunno what you're talkin about, reliability-wise..

talking about Alpine since 2006 or so being shitty, and just because yours works fine does not mean Alpine has issues. Seriously, the least reliable of all major brands.

Ask her for the death of a thousand deaths (Shakespeare style). Much more fun than dead dead.

[Bimmerista]

Damnit Luke...you're making me hate my Alpine now. I've had it since 2006 and I really like it. :(

[Jean]

IIRC alpine 7995 was pretty fricking awesome for about $600 or so ? I had it hooked up to a pg titanium amp and some idq comps and subs and really like it...never had any problems...
