They are, but every now and again I end up in a hire car (or an old banger I've bought) that has a tape deck, and I end up digging out all the old rave tapes I used to listen to while I was in school, having forgotten how good they were.

Just wondered how you guys were getting on with the Pioneer Double Din? I've just got a new car and fancied getting one.

Still loving it mate...so easy to use, so many functions and damn nice looking...i havent heard anybody not say 'wow, that is amazing'. Sound quality is excellent and i have an amp/sub hooked up too and it sounds immense. Only downside is that it is a finger print magnet but dont let that put you off. If you got an odd £200 to spend and dont need sat-nav then its the one to get.

Awesome, thanks! and it was easy enough to put in the Celica? I've just picked up a Celica so any help regarding fitting it would be great! Thanks.

Naan_H · 2 Jan 2009 at 10:29

i actually put in the unit in myself...it is surprisingly easy to do. Do you have a generation 7 celica? Anyway its a great car, underrated and very fun to drive!

Just use the guides from here:

http://www.celica-club.co.uk/wiki/index.php/Audio_7

Also there is good information in the toyotas owners club and celica-club.co.uk

HTH.

Nice one, thanks a lot! Yep, I've got a Gen 7 (140)... Couldn't agree more, great to drive, great all round really!

Didn't realise there was an audio section on celica-club.co.uk... registered there a while back too! Going to hopefully pick this double din up soon

Thanks again.

Naan H... did you have to buy any additional adaptor cables to get the head unit to work? or should it just be okay with what the celica currently has? Thanks!

Unless the celica has an ISO connector then you'll need a Celica -> ISO cable.

awesome, thanks a lot!

I'm feeling nice today

Check that matches whatever you have inside your Celica before you buy it though.

Perfect, cheers dude :cool:

Nice, would this go fine in the civic type R as the standard cd player looks weak.

Edit: supposedly a pain to get it in civic

The lights on it are blue, can they be changed or is it blue only? would prefer green since that is what the rest of my car lights are

Naan_H · 5 Jan 2009 at 19:10

Sorry for the delayed response; yes i did buy an adaptor,was about a tenner i think. Also make sure you keep the surround casing from when you remove the old sony one, its needed to fill the gap that is left when the new unit is in.

Nikumba - lights only remain blue im afraid - i wish it was red as the celica dash is red, but its not a big deal (for me).

Looking at getting this myself, as it seems a bargain for the price.

How quick is the HU when navigating through folder structures on an external Hard Drive?

is there much/any lag and Does it display all the ID tags correctly?

Also, i doubt it, but does it support playlists?

Cheers,

Tucks

Naan_H · 24 Feb 2009 at 11:47

I have not used anything other than my 60gb ipod, but it is pretty quick at navigating playlists on the ipod. And it supports the playlists on the ipod fine. If i have some time later i got a spare usb stick lying around and ill give it a try

Mucho appreciatus amigo!

Hi I was wondering if anyone could help me out, I want this unit but I've not been able to confirm if this unit has the feature "passenger control mode" ie it lets you change the song/artist via the ipod? Can anyone help?

OnMENogin · 17 Mar 2009 at 12:42

Hello all,

Has anyone managed to get a 2.5" hard drive working on this ?
I know it supports upto 250Gb in FAT32 but has anyone tried ?

Thanks

Hi guys bit of a thread revival but im looking to get an iphone 3GS. Was wondering how it works with the headunit? my N95 works perfectly with the system for bluetooth-audio, and for navigating my phonebook and calling via bluetooth. I assume the ipod side of things will work, but i need to make sure the phone side works too - can anybody shed more light on the situation?
