Nic Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 I'll be visiting a few ICE suppliers here in Hong Kong later this week to get headunit prices for a few members. The headunits sold here are exactly the same spec as sold in the UK, but are quite a lot cheaper, so there should be some very good savings to be had even with postage included. If anyone else wants a price for a headunit give me a shout. If there are a few members wanting a particular model I could also look at getting some extra discount for group order.

Muffleman Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Don't need one at the moment mate, but just thought I'd post to say 'that's awfully decent of you' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raymanuk Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 My Kenwood headunit has just died and I could do with a new one - you got any that you could recommend, model numbers would be cook as I can look em up Definately interested though Cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenwood and Sony models are also decent. Suggest you have a look around on their websites and find some models that you are interested in and let me know. This place is so fashion orientated and everything has to be the latest model, so there could be some good deals to be had on 2004 models that suppliers want to get rid of.

stevie_b Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Hi Nic, Definitely interested. My headunit that came with the car never did work properly (it causes feedback through the speakers). Not sure what model yet, but.... needs to be single-DIN, play CD-RWs, and MP3 compatible. Can you recommend anything? (no worries if you can't / don't have time). I have a Kenwood autochanger in the boot, but it's possibly too old to be compatible with new kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really no expert when it comes to ICE, I personally like some of the Alpine headunits, but there are other members that can give you better advice.

garetheves Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 My Kenwood headunit has just died and I could do with a new one - you got any that you could recommend, model numbers would be cook as I can look em up Definately interested though Cheers, Ive got the Alpine CDA - 9835. Its an MP3 CD player and i can highly recommend it. When i bought it they were retailing at 600 over here, got it for 300 from America so i guess the price will be something similar from HK. Any of the Alpine units are the dogs danglies IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted July 11, 2005 Author Share Posted July 11, 2005 Hi Nic I don't know if you'll be able to get any of these but I am after a decent double din head unit. Cheers Trev Trev/MaveriK I have a price for the Kenwood DDX7035 (region free version of the DDX7025) I could get this for £650 plus postage of around £30-35. If there are any other members wanting the same unit, then may be able to get bit of discount from supplier. I don't have prices for the other 2 headunits, but should be able to get these (or similar models) here at a good price too. I need to go to a few ICE suppliers tomorrow, so if anyone else wants any other prices, post request here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cornimac Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Alpine IVA - D300 = £675 See details HERE Hi Nic What about an Alpine IVA-D310R as I cannot locate the 300 on the EU Alpine site? Is it that the D300 is the old model maybe? http://www.alpine-europe.com/content/english/k14.Mobile-Media-Stations_New-dimensions-in-control-and-convenience-Music-for-your-eyes-Mobile-Media-Stations.htm I will be be getting a D310 in the next month or so and so will be pleased to source it through you. What's your take on the product code question and pricing? I've seen this model in stores here for around £875. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's your take on the product code question and pricing? I've seen this model in stores here for around £875. Cheers Hi Cornelius It seems that the D300 is only sold in Asia, Australia and the US, when I was checking prices last time I asked about using the headunits/DVD's in the UK and was told that most are compatible by my friend who sells them, I will need to double check this model though. I think the D310 is a newer model but the spec looks similar/identical, the design is slightly different but even the price is the same, you can compare both HERE I'm not sure if the D310 is available here yet, it wasn't a couple of months ago when I originally checked, I'll see if it is now.
