Hey all

Looking to chuck a stacker in the TL, part of a long term upgrade of the audio but seeing as the pennies are far and few between these days (wife reckons bub comes first! :doubt: ) I was thinking of doing it slowly, . The main thing that really bugging me at the moment is having to change CD's so I'm thinking of chucking a stacker onto the existing stock HU and upgrading that down the track. It looks like it can be done. the LCD display has allowences for it so i'm guessing when you buy the stacker at the dealer he just plugs it straight in no need to change the HU. i'm hoping that this is the case and that I can do the same with my own and significantly cheaper than the genuine mitsu stacker. (is this making sense?) The parts guys at the local mitsu dealer reackon clarion is the brand to use.

Does anyone know if this is the go, anyone done this before.

(I asked the missus if we should get the stacker when we bought the Car but NO!!! thats a luxury we wont ever use!!!!)

Failing this, my boss reckons iPods are the way to go with in car music these days. but the only way i can see this working is with the FM transmitter. Whats the sound quality like with those? heard they are pretty average?

im pretty sure you cant.. or if you can its probably more effort then its worth.

Just save a little bit of money and then wait patiently reading looking at all catalogs from car audio places untill a decent headunit + stacker combo deal comes along

Try car audio section mate...

iTrips are very average, better off using a aux in.

I use a fm modulated 12 stacker by Pioneer, quality is good as it is hardwired in through the antenna lead.

How much will mitsu slug u for one?

Peace

Good brands include Alpine, Pioneer, Clarion etc etc.
