New spoiled milk is coming soon and the first thing I go is always replace the HU. I am not a car audio guy, I just hate old radios.

That's a good question.

Yea. They suck. The radio antenna isn't great. And the wifi doesn't always connect. And every 4th time I turn it on the GPS doesn't work.

No. You can get name brand ones for another $100. No sense in fucking around with that trash.

 

[lawnboy]

When did Eclipse fold up ?

 

[jelloslug]

I put a bluetooth amp in the Eldorado so I could keep the factory headunit. It's a class D so it's tiny.

 

[borazhasleftthebuilding]

yep, just spend a teeny bit more for pioneer

Last Eclipse unit i bought was a 5303 back in like 1999. Looks like it was sometime shortly after that

I have this in my DD it has a much better touchscreen than some of the same priced pioneer etc.

Friend had a car full of McIntosh I should have bought it.

No nakamichi knockin?

 

[.chris]

No I only put the finest car stereo in my 18 year old Chevrolet.

 

[I<3URANUS]

Pay the extra for a decent radio. Seriously. Don't be dumb.

 

[Mikel]

Just spend like $250-300 on a brand name double din with CarPlay. I’ve done that in all my cars, well worth it.
