G'day

So I have a problem, a good problem but none the less a problem lol

My CD player in the EX keeps skipping when it's mounted inside the cabin because the lazer just can't handle the bass vibrations, the H/U I have is/was a decent one in it's day with time correction ect ect but one thing it does not have is ipod input. Right now the H/U is mounted in the hatch but I think for demos and to be considered a ground pounder it needs to be in the dash at least some of the time lol

I would like peoples opinions on what is a budget Head Unit with ipod input and decent functions? I am interested in not just hearing about brand new head units but even some that are a couple of years old.

thanks
Dean.

^ ipod / usb is what you want.

Anything with 4v plus preouts is good.

JVC KDR-826 or Sony GTX-490 are good, both ipod/usb, both 3x pre-outs, sony has pause, not sure about the JVC.

This clarion hear is what gets my vote for a harsh bass environment, mines the one below this without bluetooth that i picked up for $100.

http://www.clarion.c...9520778765.html

It has no mechanical parts what so ever, 3 rca preout 24bit dac etc. Touch screen front panel easy to use good response to the touch, can turn off the built in amp so you get a better quality sound through the rca's. And has pause.

I love it mine has been bouncing on a home speaker sitting were the passenger seat should be a good 2cm and it handles it like a champ haha, not that i recommend doing it i just been to lazy to mount it yet aha.
