Simple reasons, the stock HU does not satisfy me, I don't watch TV or DVD when driving, I don't need GPS, I like my music, and I want the best for my music that I can afford when I am driving. Alpine White Icon_biggrin

Besides I never like double din HU, and I really love my Alpine HU Alpine White Icon_lol

Guess I am the odd one here, ha ha...

I have another 6 discs CD changer under the front passenger seat, and a iPod connection hidden inside the glove compartment, which I think is safer as my ipod will not be exposed. Alpine White Icon_wink

I have tried the stock HU CD changer, and in my opinion, it is a bit troublesome to slowly load the discs 1 by 1.

Does your Alpine headunit come with IPOD connectivity?

by longbow 11th January 2010, 11:11 am

Unfortunately no. But I think there may be some other HU that are able to do that. Anyway, I am already used to using the handheld remote control.

Just in case there are any rare species like me who wants to destroy the look of the beautiful stock center console with a single din panel, this is how the panel looks like on its own. And btw, I got it from bro Terrier, so check with him if you are interested.

My stock panel with the stock HU is kept at home. It'll be fitted back when I sell or scrap my car.

Do share more info about this. Is it a kind of adapter for the stock steering wheel controller or another steering wheel controller that has to be attached to the steering wheel?

Finally found the time to do a bit of rim shopping and changed the stock rims. Just managed 1 pic before I left for an appointment with friends.

by NiVleK 17th January 2010, 8:05 am

A bit too much blurring leh...if you dun blur the foreground, effect more natural and realistic. Got Bokeh effect.

Just a bit of PS fun. Didn't make it to look photogenic. The idea is more to hide the background. Still hoping to find some time to take some proper pics. Alpine White Icon_razz

Bronze will look nice on white also, but I always had in my mind a rim with some red. And this is the rims that had pass my wife's approval Alpine White Icon_lol
