Advice- intergrated radio/GPS/bluetooth

slug · Postby **slug** » Sun Dec 05, 2010 11:08 pm

Hi Guys,

Did a search but couldn't find what I was looking for...

I've got a 1999 10AE MX5.

Is there a GPS/Radio/bluetooth unit +/- rear sensor/camera that will replace my radio+/- the tray underneath?

Looked at some of the ebay stuff out there but looks pretty tacky and not a good fit.

Thanks in advance!

T

Hey mate, i have something like this http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Mazda-MX5-626-MX ... 1228wt_905

I have an 01 but maybe email the seller and ask if he can get another model from his supplier for you??
I can say that mine looks alot better in the flesh, looks right at home in the dash and blends well with my latest year model jvc

If you go for the pocket that means you can use any DIN size unit. Have a look at http://jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID ... BCATID=909

thats a good to go to attach a reverse camera like this http://jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID ... rm=KEYWORD for $70

I highly recommend staying away from gps + stereos. Firsty its more complicated to operate. It will but into your music and annoy you. If one breaks your out of the other too while it gets sent for repair. Also all the units that do so this are very $$$ and they hold the new maps ransom for big $$$ too. Mercedes wanted $900 to update the maps on my gf's mums CLK, so make sure to ask this question before committing to a gps.

id say to get a nice cheap suction cup navman. Hard wire it into your accessories so you dont loose the ciggy lighter, then you can just buy a new one every two years for a whole $149

They almost all use the same 5V Mini usb plug for charging. I only put mine up when i need it and glovebox it otherwise. This way you can sort the tunes and get the passenger to sort the directions, win win

Also try give ryda.com.au a call, they have a huge range of mazda multifit stuff, maybe they call help. Iv bought quite a bit from them and they have excellent prices and super fast shipping.

Hope this helps.

I've got a standalone Garmin 1390T mounted on my dash I'll take pics later and put them up

How much are you looking at spending?

Alpine is a pretty decent headunit which can do GPS/Radio/Bluetooth/iPod/USB/Camera
http://alpine.com.au/showItem.php?item_id=188
But it comes at a price $2199 RRP

You can normally bargain the prices down at your local JB HiFi joint

You really get what you pay for and Alpine is up there in the brands

Where abouts are you located?
