Creative Zen Micro Vs Panasonic Headunit ****UPDATED****

[Furkz 0]

gradeAfailure, there are loads that do this nowadays,,, most headunits are compatible and more friendly to plug in's

[gradeAfailure 0]

I stand corrected! :)

 

The head unit was this one anyways...

saw a really nice sony one in there last week looks like it was metal polished lol reduced £100 too had more features than a MFA computer :lol:

[gradeAfailure 0]

Yeah, we liked the polished Sony one too... Though I'm thinking of going old-school on the stereo to match the dash better! Just don't want to lose CD-Text and virtual surround sound... :)

i got that modulator thing today-- fag lighter one end and phono the other end and it really works well really impressed best thing is its very mobile too can take from one car to another hassle free

just tune it in via the radio ? is the sound quality good ?

[Furkz 0]

yeah jus tune radio to 107.7fm and plug it into he fag lighter..... played cd and than played the mp3 player and not that much diff....still prob a bit better if u get the aux cable for the headunit...this is still cool though if u wanna swap between cars easily

Excuse my newbie-ism but can you make any mp3 player run through your head unit? I've just bought an iPod that I'd love to be able to listen to through my Alpine head unit.

Was thinking of asking for a Creative Zen Micro for my birthday this year, but it will only be any use if I can connect it to my head unit. I've got a Kenwood that accepts a CD multichanger but will just have to look to see if the leads shown on caraudiodirect are compatible with my particular model.

Aye, I was reading that earlier, unfortunately, it seems the only way I could get it to work would mean losing my CD changer as I've only got a cassette head unit, so I'm just going to get one of those things that plugs into the iPod and inserts into the tape deck for now. If the sound quality is crap, then I'll upgrade when I get a bit of money laid aside.

kenwood head units are fully compatable,,,from what i hear, one of mates runes a kenwood with a ipod and jus plugs in apparently...

 

GIXXERUK, did a 40 mile trip today from a town to a village thru some contryside and the lead works great no probs at all highly recommended,,,

 

one thing dont showthe zen to anyone u prob be waiting a long time to get it back...big boys gadgets :lol:

Slimbo, what ya need is this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 55610&rd=1

got mine yesterday, 40gb :-) yet to play but sounds really good :-)

[kerrinmay 0]

What I'd really like is to be able to control the Zen micro from my head-unit but I guess that's probably asking a bit much.

[Furkz 0]

kerrinmay, u prob are asking too much,,,but i think kenwood may do a mp3 kit which allows extra functions i kno alpine do best to check outb some car audio places

[GIXXERUK 0]

pioneer are do to release an ipod h/u control kit soon

Cheers Furki for recommending the MP3 transmitter gadget on eBay, I got mine yesterday and it works a dream with my Ipod!

Dension make kits to control your IPOD from different head units as you'd control a CD/MD changer... 8)

 

Check 'em out http://www.dension.com 8)

Alpine do an mp3 control headunit. Get em' in Halfords. Not sure on price but they are in stock.

[Audiosupreme 0]

Trust me - get the MP3 Transmitter where me and Furki got it from.

 

I orderd it at 4pm and got it the next day from the guy who sells them!

 

For £11.99 you cant go wrong - and it works puka!

[Henny 0]

Audiosupreme, yup, they're good, but they're also illegal to use in this country and make you liable to a fine of upto £10,000!

[Audiosupreme 0]

YIKES!

 

But well known retailers sell similar products, like Tescos sell the FM Handsfree kits that work in the similar way - through the radio.

 

Are you positive that they are illegal?
