ok, i need a good aftermarket unit for my sisters xterra. i want something that has a 6-disc changer built in. i think the xterra is double din so thats fine too. any good ideas? thanks.

 

not sure, but i dont think anyone makes a 6 disc changer built into the headunit unless it's from the factory

 

a few companys do. nakamichi and eclipse come to mind.

 

really? i'm sure they're relatively expensive, you just wanna do it so you dont have to open the trunk to put in new cds?

 

well basicaly the car came with a 6 cd + cassette in dash head unit. i wanna match it as close as possible. i think i got her talked into a xm radio system. that would help out alot. that way just get a unit that does mp3 cd's and xm and she wont complain.....much.

 

im pretty sure alpice makes one, or it might be a 4 disc changer...

 

The eclipse setup would be over 700 bucks. you'll need the 6 disc din sized unit along with an eclipse cd receiver that could control it. They had a din sized am/fm 6 disc tuner, but it's a tuner and with no internal amp. Nak builds the 6 disc mechanism for eclipse or vice versa. they're as reliable as the oem ones. Alpine dropped their 3D shuttles two years ago. there was a lot of time between the disc shuffling.


Between MP3 and XM I'm sure your sister would not miss that changer. Look at the Alpine CDA9807. wma/mp3, cool silver finish and blue lights, xm and changer controls, front rear and sub outputs. Or step up to the 9811. (for when you talk her into getting a JL250/1 and the Xterra stealthbox).

 

i was looking at the pioneer unit. a stealth box would be bad ***. hmmm.

yeah nak builds the shuttle system for eclipse. i have the music bank changer in my teg. i found the pioneer deh-p7500mp with xm tuner and glass mount antenna for 530 delivered. will see if she goes with that. thanks for the ideas. will research some alpine stuff next
