Leon Stereo...

Ahhh! Microphone! Bloody hell...

The actual head unit thing I might be okay with, but the USB cable and microphone? Hmm...

Just curious, the one USB cable works fine with both a USB stick and an iPod right? I don't need two separate cables?

Hi. I had to replace my aura unit last year as it broke but my problem was more about where to get a decent unit that had a red display as I wanted to maintain the appearance of the dash. I ended up with a Pioneer DEH-5000UB which has 10 different colour options (inc red) & you can also adjust the intensity of the colour. To boot it has a rear USB socket so no risk of knocking a mem stick plugged into the front. I've just run a cable down the back of the unit & into the cig lighter tray as I don't use it. Got a 4GB mem stick plugged into that & works like a dream. Have never run out of space & never had to use a cd yet!! lol.

Cheers Lee I think it has a mic built in so may try that, otherwise I'm not sure - where exactly does it go!? I always assumed it went up the top somewhere, either by the interior lighting or on the sun screen... thingy (no idea what they're called)

 

[LEE69]

You can put it anywhere the cable reaches, generally they do up by the sunvisors or the top of the pillar would do.

 

[blizeH]

Cheers dude... does it basically just involve drilling in by the pillar, and running it up along the pillar or something? I guess if done properly it won't stand out too much...

 

[LEE69]

No drilling at all, it can clip over the top of it and run the wire down the pillar then to the stereo.

 

[blizeH]

Perfect in that case, thanks so much for all of this advice Lee, really appreciate it dude!

 

[LEE69]

Took these tonight whilst i was out you can turn the "screen" off so it's all black, then it activates whenver you operate the stereo.

 

[blizeH]

Looks very cool actually, very in-keeping with the dash too

shame I just ordered a 700BT, d'oh!! Ah well, should be okay!

 

[LEE69]

I'm sure you'll be fine with it mate, I'd still have it if it connected to my N95 I had at the time.

 

[Carr20vt]

Looks good Lee. Screen off is a must, it gets dam hot!

 

[LEE69]

Thanks does it take you back
Yeah i use it with the screen off.
