- too big
- no possibility to insert external storage
- no torque

LG G Pad 8.3 (or other Android device)
+ nice form factor (2Din Mounting)
+ Nice possibilities to customize
- has to be rooted for full access
- bad iTunes connection

Maybe I will delete the airing in the middle and insert the iPad mini in that space (place headunit plus the airing) so it would like i should be there and not just put there.

Biggest problem so far ... I do want to compete in a multimedia class, so I have to get access to the media files. DVD is prefered but also USB and external storage. A big problem for an iDevice ... or is there a solution? Concerning the rules, the judge brings the files, so it has to a flexible solution. does anyone have an idea?

Pioneer NEX headunit.

hm ... no SDPIF or other high quality bit true sound stream

soundman98 · 03-29-2014, 01:03 PM

unfortunately, there aren't many amps that support spdif....

labskaus · 03-30-2014, 01:23 PM

But Most DSP like the Mosconi 6to8

SHIFTER · 03-30-2014, 09:29 PM

Shit. that looks good

mmontes · 05-05-2014, 09:25 PM

did you ever end up installing the i pad mini? i am debating between that or getting an "Alpine-927HD"

labskaus · 05-06-2014, 01:12 AM

No, after my iPad was stolen I am still experiementing with Android and Raspberry.

Afterall, I will end up with the Alpine 927

or something similar

frustrating

Does the US 86/brz's come standard with a 7"lcd audio headunit? The south african version only comes with that ancient looking mp3/cd headunits which have the green text screens. Also wanted to know, based on the size of the boot if i put a 10" subwoofer in, where would be the best place to mount my monoblock amplifier?

labskaus · 05-07-2014, 09:54 AM

Since we have in Europe no spare wheel, they is enough room. I am located in Germany and the got the 2Din headunit.

Depending on size and heat of the amplifier you can put it below the mat in the trunk or below the rear panel ... or were ever you want

slickd · 05-12-2014, 01:16 PM

but the problem in South africa is the roads are bad so i need my spare tyre. Juat need to
