Stereo upgrade D40

[Matt76]

Hi all,

A guy who has been fitting speakers into the coffee vans I have been fitting out at work has proposed to upgrade the stereo and speakers in my D40 in exchange for some stuff he needs made for his workshop.

I don't want to do anything crazy like subs and crap that take up valuable space, so it will probably just be speakers and head unit, has anyone got any suggestions on what I should request? The D40's already have 4 speakers, but I'm sure they arent in the same class as the aftermarkets. The head unit will have to have bluetooth for my phone, and an ipod/iphone connection would be nice.

What have you guys done or can suggest?


Cheers
Matt

I thought we had 6 speakers in ours - two on the dash and 1 in each of the 4 doors. I'll have to look again, I might be wrong.

We had the genuine unit removed and a Pioneer F900BT installed. Plays DVDs, has navigation built in, bluetooth with auto-mute of the radio etc. Not bad, but pricy.

You could see about something like that - it'd certainly kill a few birds with the one stone.

Yeah the ST-X gets 6 speakers.
I have basicaly thesame as the Pioneer but mines Yum Cha brand and was about $500

Ah yes you may be right, I typed without using my head again haha.

Did you upgrade the speakers too Tony?

Be sure whatever you get can accept a reversing camera. Great for one person trailer hookups and checking for kids/bikes etc when reversing..

No, they were left as is. Pretty decent sound. Pulled up at an intersection with Jace Everett's theme to True Blood absolutely blaring out the windows and really got some strange looks. That's when I noticed all the school girls standing waiting to cross the road.

Oops!

i will have to get some pics up but i upgraded my whole system to alpine this is the head unit i used.. (was also in my last ute)
Alpine Electronics of Australia
It has Ipod integration and i did have the reverse camera hooked up when installed into the NAVARA it also has the capability for Bluetooth and Navigation. I than also had the 6x9's and the 6" in the back doors replaced with type S speakers but left the tweeters in the dash.

It is not thumping but i have to say when you like it that little bit loud it can go there adn the IPOD interface is really good and easy to use. and the DVD side of it is actually nice and crystal clear...

Yeah it's a Nissan thing.
Most auto electrical places should be able to sell you the adapter that's required.

^ pretty much what he said, I think the last time this topic came up it was suggested Autobarn had the items in stock
