They guy at freeway said that my amp would struggle to run the type r's, so he suggested me to get the type s's.. Or get the type r's and get a new amp too... So atm im leaning towards the type s's. But if theres something out there better, than im all ears, but then again I dont wanna get a new amp too..Decsions...

They installed the HU along with the dash kit, Unwired my LC6 and ran all the wires for my 4 channel to the factory speakers and amps to the HU. Pretty good price IMO. I went to the one in Dandenong, never been to the Malvern one cause its too far. Have nerver had a problem with the Dandy store and highly recommend them, I delt with Steve. Good bloke, explained everything... Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/53255-head-unit-installed/page/2/#findComment-799671 Share on other sites More sharing options...

A great option, its about time they something like this is available. MiKa said: I miss the steering wheel controls but the HU has a remote.There is a guy on here that had the steering controls working for his Alpine HU, not sure if he was reproducing them though.....

Would love the steering controls back, if only for volume control cause its just at your finger tips.... I asked freeway about it and I think it was $200+ for whatever it was to make it work, which IMO is no where near worth it..
