Retro looks - modern sounds

Advantages: Looks cool, sounds great
Disadvantages: Spectrum analyzer doesnt seem to analyze the music

A nice unit combining retro-classic styling with modern functions. The sound quality is good, and is complimented with considerable user definable settings to trim the output to suite all ears and tastes in music. The unit can be up-graded to accept DAB signals, but the extra exuipment costs nearly the same as the stereo. My only real gripe with this unit is the "23 band spectrum analyzer" on the display that changes display style constantly and ...

Review of Clarion WXZ 468 RMP

Pioneer Double DIN goodness oozes quality and functionality.

Advantages: Sexy, packed with features, smart design, easy to use
Disadvantages: price?

...must buy. The pioneer FH-P80BT comes with a number of cool features. First off, filling my needs, its MP3 compatible, but better than that, it has an input (at the rear (which i ran into the glove box)) for a USB. So you can plug pretty much anything into it, in theory, ipods, phones, MP3 players. I opted for a 2gb USB flash drive, now I have loads of music at my finger tips with ease. You could in theory, (as ive seen elsewhere on the internet) ...
...money, you want good qaulity. Pioneer does not disappoint. This unit has amazing sound quality, even with my standard VW speakers and no extra amp or subwoofers (yet). Its lovely and I can't fault it. A vast improvement over the standard VW unit in every department, looks, sound, features. The manual and user guides included make it an easy install. I was a bit worried about it, having never done it before, but its an adventure doing something like ...

Review of Pioneer FH-P80BT

best i've ever owend!

Advantages: unbeleavable performance!
Disadvantages: hard to get hold of.

truely the best amp i have ever owned! it is an old amp now, but will still out perform near enough anything else on the market. they are that powerfull, they have even been banned from sound compertitions! seriously unde-rated! i currently own 2 and will never sell them, as they are that good and rare to get hold of nowadays. to run it at its full capacity, you will need to run 0 gauge cable to them, i did have 4 gauge cable, going to one and ...
...the car and gets A LOT of attention. the RMS of this amp is 900w monobloc, which is more than you get out of most competition amps, and will spike to 1600w if pushed! these amps, arre not for the feint hearted, and will very easily blow subs if not installed and set up correctly. BE WARNED! ...

Review of Sony XM-D 1000 P 5

Car FM transmitter for Apple audio players that fails to perform

Advantages: Easy installation, charges you audio player
Disadvantages: Poor sound quality, may foul gear stick.

...In the case of the GEAR4 CarDock FM Transmitter, it's powered by the 12V cigarette lighter socket in your car so you need to plug it in, connect your Apple audio player, tune your stereo to the frequency displayed on the transmitter and away you go. It also charges your Apple player with no issues and is compatible with practically every Apple audio device including iPhone (2G, 3G, 3GS) iPod (classic, Nano, Video and touch) thanks to included adapters. ...
...described as a badly tuned radio station! Even if I were desperate I'd still grow tired of it after a while which is a shame. As the gear stick is near the cigarette lighter in my car, my hand fouled the transmitter when I shift into 5th gear too. At £50 this is a pretty dire bit of kit but to be honest I haven't used a good FM transmitter yet, and I've used a few. ...

Review of GEAR4 CarDock FM Transmitter for iPods and all MP3 Players

Sony CDX-GT 44 IP - nice little unit

Advantages: Good value for money
Disadvantages: Not compatible with the ipod touch

I got the Sony CDX-GT 44IP as a present a couple of months ago, as my friend bought another one. It's a great little item. Sound: The sound quality is very good. Much better than you would expect it for this sort of price. As it was a present I cannot tell you how much I paid. But you'll find it in the internet for about £73. Considering this price is a brilliant item with a lot of features found normally on much higher priced units. It comes with ...
...i a car but can be a nice little extra. It works with most ipods but unfortunately not with the iPod touch. The installation instructions are very good. There will not be any problems. It has the ability to connect up an amp further which enhances the sound. Another problem is, that it can be a bit of a pain to find a song, if you have a lot on your ipod. Overall it is good value for money and looks more expensive than it is. ...
