Looks like aftermarket headunit. I think I will get the Alpine iDA-X305S with Bluetooth and steering wheel addittions, no CD player, but who uses them these days.

Sometimes I yearn for the days when I loved Jap crap imports with their standard DIN headunits that were SOO easy to upgrade. But then I drive my car, and those 206kW limited cars no longer seem so awesome :-)Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I then installed a complete setup with aftermarket headunit and cut all speaker wires to the factory ICC and have a guess what, the noise is still massive coming from the actual ICC itself! No noise from my stereo at all but if I could record the ICC whine omfg!!!I even bought a brand new alternator and not even the slightest improvement...My last effort will be to put some filters inline that go to the factory ICC and see if that fixes anything seeing as though you cant remove the Fcker...

I got this aftermarket head unit installed and what a difference. No comparison. The sound quality and clarity is so much better and absolutely no hiss. I think the installer did a great job with the custom facia. Let me know what you think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to work fine. Although I know they guys who did the install mucked around with it heaps to get it clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
