Stereo replacement for GU ST Patrol

Justin,
Hi I replaced mine about two months ago with a pioneer p4950 mp3/cd & have had no problems.!MPG:65!

I brought a Pioneer package about 18months ago, head unit and four 6" speakers, cost me $450 plus fitting. Because your new unit will only be half the size of the orginal GU CD/tape player, you can either fit a pocket in there (cost about $20), or I had the guys fit my UHF radio in there. Its an older electrophone that fitted nicely. At the time I probably could have fitted it my self but for $200 they fitted the stereo, speakers and UHF so I cheated and got the pro's to do it. I am now considering fitting some 6"x9" speakers in the back on pods because I love my music.

Regards

Snowy

Hi,

I replaced the radio with radio that is MP3 CD compatible that also accepted a USB memory stick. Great for all MP3 music etc. Used the lower part of the space to mount the UHF.

All works well.

G'day Justin

Just did this on the weekend, I got a Pioneer DEH-2950MP, not one skip over bumps on tracks on sunday, I put some 6" speakers in the front doors, simple swap over with the old ones no mods needed. A 250watt amp under the Drivers seat and some 6"x9"s in the back. Mounted in the side panles where the pockets are. Didn't feel the need to replace the one's in the rear doors so just disconnected them. Makes a nice sound with out being too over the top. I put one of the pockets in to fill the gap and put my uhf in that.
With self install its only cost around $250 all up

Cheers Stefan

You might get some idea from my setup Two Radio's , plus the use of the USB and Flash drives eliminate the need for CDs, No matter how rough the track it will NOT skip, it cannot skip, and the reproduction from a good set of speakers is superb,

Justin,
I recently install a clarion MAX676VD double din stereo. Was a tad exey but is a corker, not a doof doof box but a v. good stereo. Plugin in the 80g ipod and the units touch screen gives you in car access to your entire music collection / playlists etc that are maintained in the house PC which drive the stereo.
I installed 2 rear barn door speakers as we like music and when camping that is where all the time is spent.

p.s. a skinny stereo is a single 'DIN' bay and the LC and patrol have a double DIN stereo bay.

Justin, I have just put in a JVC 635 in my LC.
USB plug, so my music on one stick, wifes music on another and lots of other stuff on a 3rd stick. No more jumping tracks and I have lots of space in the console now.
The radio pulls in lots of stations too, best radio I have had.
It will play CD's but I haven't tried it. Happy with the memory stick. About $240.
Quality of the sound? Suits me, my LC hasn't got the accoustics of the opera house so I can't see the sense in paying big bikkies for a music box for my car.
Not sure if Waylon Jennings ever sang in the opera house anyway, so he's not out of place in my car.

Thanks for all the info guys! Think a double din might be the go with the usb in the front and some new speakers.
cheers
