http://www.pioneer.com.au/au/product...0DAB/page.html Found it for as cheap as $398 so far, $200+ more than I was originally going to outlay. But it's hard to find a unit that has BT "&" DAB+ integrated, even today, which is quite pathetic. I don't see anything else quite like it, very well-rounded set of features. SQ features/aspects aren't top-notch, but they're good enough... The compare tool on Pioneer's site is very much appreciated (although not perfect): http://www.pioneer.com.au/au/product...983&__P5=62831 http://www.pioneer.com.au/au/product...083&__P3=63346 I wish more OEMs/Vendors would do that on their sites... Are there other mechless (or not) units with "broad" BT capabilities AND DAB+ integrated? So far only Pioneer seems to be in that game*, rather not go into full touchscreen & double-din. It's looking like I'll have to spend at least $350, $420 is probably my absolute maximum. Unless there's a AMAZING combo of features that I just can't ignore at higher price-point. *although I haven't yet systematically gone to every OEM site & carefully checked that |
Re: Mirror-link Car Head-Units for N9/950?
If that is your budget then consider the unit I am using currently. Through my business I can get them significantly cheaper than their advertised price ($500.00). Are you located in the States by chance? I can send it to you. I have no problem helping another member out by giving you my cost. I know you don't want a double din, but it's tough anymore to find single din with all the bells and whistles because they are slowly being phased out.

http://www.pioneer.com.au/au/product.../overview.html If it's basically the same as the top 1-2 in that list, then it's a very reasonable price... But that price is dampened by the fact that a significant chunk of it's functionality would be useless here. Because the yanks use very different TV/Radio broadcasting standards to Australia, EU, & many other countries. |
Re: Mirror-link Car Head-Units for N9/950?
I hear ya. The AVH-X8550BT is actually the exact same as my head unit but has app radio functionality put into it as well. That is actually better than the one I have. Mine would sit between that and the AVH-X550BT.

Re: Mirror-link Car Head-Units for N9/950?
Tis ridiculous how much more expensive things are here compared to the US & elsewhere, it has been like that since forever...
So your unit, which is better than the Australian AVH-X7550BT (2nd from the top), cost LESS than $500USD, which is LESS than $547AUD, yet the AVH-X7550BT here, costs $999-freaking-AUD! Admittedly that's RRP, it could probably be found for quite a bit less, but it's unlikely to be found for less than $547AUD brand new (Australian stock, not grey-imported). If only we shared compatible freaking broadcasting standards, that pricing is far, far, cheaper than here, I would snap-up your offer in a heartbeat! |
Re: Mirror-link Car Head-Units for N9/950?
So these are the only units I've found that meet my basic criteria (or roughly):
Single-din (no touchscreen etc): DEH-X8500DAB http://www.pioneer.com.au/au/product...0DAB/page.html KDC-U7056DAB (last I checked they still hadn't updated their site, hence the google search) http://bit.ly/132Wvqe CDE-136BTi http://www.alpine.com.au/showItem.php?item_id=280 CDX-DAB500U http://www.sony.com.au/product/cdx-dab500u CZ702A http://www.clarion.com/au/en/product...617399837.html Double-din or greater (touchscreen, the works etc): AVH-X3500DAB http://www.pioneer.com.au/au/product...0DAB/page.html DNX4330DABNAV http://bit.ly/188BEY9 CED190BT http://www.philipscaraudio.com.au/he.../ced190bt.html NX702A http://www.clarion.com/au/en/product...617713267.html Is this all of them, am I missing some makes/models that have DAB+ or the ability to add it? (although I'd prefer that it was already there). I'm yet to insert up-to-date RRP for them all, but I do know that there's big pricing disparities between some of them. My maximum budget still sits at about $450AUD, many of these units can be found for much cheaper than their RRP. More analysis/notes, & whittling-down to come... |
