As above can you show a pic of double din dvd headunits. I want one and would like to see them fitted, and do people miss the steering wheel controls? And also will the clock between the air vents go off or will it still display time/date? Thanks

The clock should be unaffected, most after market stereo's have patch leads available for around £30 to get the steering wheel controls working if you must.My stereo's about 1yr old but recommend it to anyone - pioneer avh-p3100dvd
got a feeling this thread is gonna turn me green.......... in the market for one ma sel. likin that pioneer!
One of these units is going to be my next mod , one question on these is do you also upgrade your speakers when installing these units or can the existing speakers handle the wattige , just asking because my existing ccr2006 can not handle my cd,s on any where near full crank
Driving vauxhall,s for 30 + years
and still loving it
it's your fault, always bangin on about bling. So one day i thought b*****s to it,i stuck a baseball cap on and decided to do a bangty
Seriously though the speakers were all so i had no choice to replace them, as for the sub - that's been stuck in my shed for ages so i decided to make use of it
You'll find its usually the internal amp that is rubbish and distorts, I remember back in my Cavalier days i ran aftermarket headunits with standard speakers and the sound difference was immense, especially in the saloons......the speakers do benefit from an upgrade yeah but IMO its not essential unless you're going to run an external amp.
Ive ran headunits off standard vauxhall speakers before and it was fine, not window shattering but sounded alot better than say a cd30, so the speakers are kinda more capable than standard headunits output. like the pioneer, its an awful thing to have to worry about but with it been pioneer thiefs can tell its after market.... is it a constant worry it will be pinched? Im going to put a bit off black tape over the brand of unit to try and make it look like it is built in with car, id dread havin my window etc done in for it!
Heres mine, pic doesnt do it justice, ****** iphone cameras pants..
