draper40 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I am currently looking at getting a in car radio/cd3 player with mp3 aux compatibility to fit in my mud dash. I am looking to spend no more than £100 and not really sure what to look for, good makes? what numbers? I have found these 2 on halfords, opinions appreciated! Ripspeed cmr 200 or Kenwood Cheers, Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mortus Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 out of those two id go for the ripspeed one, mainly because its 10 quid cheaper and because its actually better than the kenwood one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cipx2 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 There a difference between the two. The Rapeseed ... sorry ... the Ripoff .... jeez .... the Ripspeed has SD card slot and USB and Kenwood doesn't. I'd go the Kenwood way. This series has a good radio receiver (better than other known brands) and reliable CD mechanism. It's more appropriate for using in a LR. Why don't you get it at half that price HERE or some other places ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draper40 Posted January 28, 2008 Author Share Posted January 28, 2008 Does anyone know the dimensions as i want to be able to fit that and my cb in my muddash! I don't need the sd or usb, just radio, cd and also aux jack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Dimensions will be standard DIN mounting: Most aftermarket radios are single DIN which have face dimensions of 50mm (2 inches) tall by 180mm (7 inches) wide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I'd go for the Kenwood one too, simply because they also manufacture amatuer radio transcievers for VHF/UHF/HF bands & that's definitly good kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draper40 Posted January 28, 2008 Author Share Posted January 28, 2008 I think i'll probably get the kenwood off amazon then, thanks guys. how easy is it to install and mount on my mud dash? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cipx2 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 It depends ... I would say dead easy, but it's all down to experience. Have a look at the manual: http://images.kenwood.eu/files/prod/614/5/KDC-237_(EN).pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Three Blades Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Maplin are selling one for £50 with USD and SD interface. Just bought one. For the price, it works fine. Only gripe is that it needs to have the ignition on before it works so you cannot use it whilst tinkering in the garage. It may be that I mucked up the wiring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Quote from someone on another forum, claiming to work for Halfords... Right, just to let you know that nearly all of the CMR 2000's that we sold don't work properly, especially the USB and memory card, take it back and get something better, honestly. Sounds like the Kenwood is definitely the way to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
