Er drehte seine Headunit wieder. Vor ihm gab es da nur das Flackern der Filme an der verschlossenen Tür. Vom Beamer, aus dem alle Zeiten aller Welten tropfte.
Seine Logik sagte, dazwischen wäre kein Platz für Gegenwart.
Nur für zwei kleine Haushaltsroboter. Nebeneinander sitzend.

Dino got a sweet new stereo, added some new 4” rear speakers (mounted up in the headliner) and a subwoofer along with a Clarion DRX8575Rz headunit + some 20mm rear spacers for the new wheels so they fit a little nicer -v-
Waiting on the CD changer input plug adapter for a bluetooth mod next!

The heat killed my car's headunit and that wouldn't be as big a problem if it weren't for the fact that the manufacturer of my headunit has gone full tilt into making their flagship radio worse.

Man I found my stero headunit strobing through a rainbow of colors annoying and distracting in the 90s when I was a teenager. I imagine a giant screen taking up the entirety of the dash would be that much worse especially now that I'm older.

After a sketchy title situation, and a no-show for the first two candidates, respectively, third time was the charm: Daughter car get. Notes:
1. Do I wish it were a stick? Yep!
2. Some clunkiness from the front end. Needs attention.
3. *Early* touchscreen headunit is totally useless.
Otherwise 👍

No pics, but I finally installed the last piece of my audio system—the steering wheel button interface jumper harness—today, and it sounds fantastic.
The audio shop set the headunit EQ to flat and set the gains and crossover points on the amp, and I've been fine-tuning via the headunit all week. 🤘

So...should I install these now, or wait until I buy my amp, sub, and associated wiring and install it all together? (headunit already purchased) 🤔
Either way, this is fun; I've never built a "system" before. 🔈

How are you connecting? When I used USB on a USB only headunit I never had problems but I will get connection errors even when I use USB because my new car has wireless. The last few updates have been flaky.
