OTish - new head unit

[Wimmy]

OTish as its not for a Brav
Funded bby my birthday and Xmas I have a new head unit in the Celica.  I was getting annoyed with only playing CD's or CASETTE's in the standard double din unit so decided it needed an upgrade.
Found a nice unit which plays mp3 cd's, USB input (with full iPod control if required), Aux in, streaming Bluetooth and full Telephone kit. Pioneer FH-P80BT.
CD's are great.  10 mp3 albums on one disc.
4 GB USB stick hidden in glove box with nearly 40 albums on it
8gb sony walkman phone wiloads more albums on it.  Sound is bluetoothed to unit with full control for flicking through the tracks
Phone kit with adress book download so I can control it all from the head
Aux in for when the kids want to play on the NDS or PSP with a better sound
Not the prettiest unit in the world but an absolute bargain with all the toys on it for little over £200

How are you finding the Celica mate? I'm thinking of getting the 1.8 140bhp version in a couple of months. Is it the 190bhp T-Sport you've got? What are they like to drive? Have you had any problems with it?

"The whole point of a small Fiat is that you have a very small engine, powered by petrol, and you rev it and rev it and rev it until the valves come out and dance on the bonnet, and THEN you change gears" - James May

 

[Wimmy]

Yes its the 190 and n problems whatsoever. Just takes a little getting used to after the HGT. Only comes into play at 6500 revs which was near the limiter on the brav. Only 4 cylindersand a very high pitched yamaha mortorbike engine.

Apart from missing a soul its a nice car

What rattles and clunks? I never suffered any in Brav2.

Have got an annoying one in the Celica tho from near the back seat. Prob just the seat belt but too cold to investigate

I've been using a Bluetooth HU for some time now (Sony MEX-BT2600) in the Marea. My Nokia N95 pairs up as soon as I'm in the car and the standard Marea steering wheel remote controls operate not only the HU but the phone too

With a 16GB card in the N95, I've currently got 2700 tracks stored in 128kbps or higher which stream in high quality stereo using the A2DP protocol, full European SatNav (TomTom & Nokia Maps) plus a bunch of N-Gage games, all of which use the Bluetooth audio connection as well as the handsfree function. The N95's voice control allows me to dial numbers or invoke applications without the need to touch the device.

No wires at all

I haven't had a CD in the car since and it's nice to reclaim the space in the door pockets and glovebox
