hey do any of you guys think a carriozerra deck would work in the u.s. with the different freq's for the radio?



just wondering



thanks



erik

:bigthumg: I don't think it would work. A guy that owns a Honda accesory shop around here has an

imported civic SI and the radio doesn't get any radio stations and the cd player only plays

the cd's straight through you can't skip tracks. So it probably wont work.

US radios/cd players work in Japan so I don't see why the wouldn't. HOWEVER, their FM frequencies ranges are different. They go lower than ours and don't go as high as ours.

FM range is 76~90mHz so you won't be getting many stations. A CD player is a CD player. Most of the military guys over here use US CD players that are bought on base an they don't have any problems.

why bother ? JDM head unit ...........that's just rice

:rice:











:werd:

Most of the newer decks can be toggled/programmed to recieve the different frequency ranges. you will have to read the "how to" instructions from the Pioneer counterpart. Or you can just buy a Frequency adapter that basically plugs into your antenna to do the conversion.

The only difference between the Pioneer in the states, and the Carrozzeria over here, is the name, radio freq's, and the price. Usually cheaper here. (I'm more into car audio than car performance, so I keep up on this stuff) :yum:

But do they sell this in the states?

As if this has anything to do with the CD? Hello?





Carrozzeria a lot of times is sold as "Premier" in the states. Premier is high end Pioneer, as is Carrozzeria.





I have a Carrozzeria deck and I can tell you this: They didn't have my model in the states until like 2 years after they had it here. There IS a difference, and it ain't rice.... its new technology and cool **** like that deck dragon just got. :bigthumg:

I've considered buying one before I go back.. I plan on XM radio anyways, so who cares about normal FM. All the radio I could ever want is on XM. And I think it was a good $150 or more cheaper for the SAME DECK over here. Although I don't know if it's in english or not, cuz it's higher end than what autobacs and stark's carry. Usually don't display it...they have the lower end decks on display.. dirty bastards.

Ok, for instance:



Carrozzeria DEH-P919 for Y80,000



verse the US same model



Premier DEH-P940MP for $890



These are the same unit, but the Japanese version is significantly cheaper. Just the MSRP is (at an average rate of Y120/$1) $200 cheaper. Damn, now that I think of it, anyone know a good car stereo shop I could find this at? :bigok:

Wow, that deck is nice as ****. Of course it cost more than my transmission just did, so **** THAT.



Hey Speedwagon, sorry I never made it to FAHC to help you pull your engine. I was in the middle of some **** all weekend.

Tis ok.. figured you got tied up in something... Now Johnson on the other hand, he just plain slept in! :squint:

I have a Panasonic with outboard TV and DVD navigation if one of you Japan guys are interested. The head unit is dual DIN with MD/CD and the DVD carrier also acts as a CD changer. I need $1000 for everything. I am not talking about the Alpine that is in my car either!!

hahaha...as did I...man that sleep was good. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/boink.gif I think I would have had more fun at the hobby shop helping you pull that engine out thogh https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/dunno.gif

damn...I WANT that alpine Rutt!

You can help me take it apart tomorrow if you want. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png



Have to clean it up some. My storage runs out tomorrow at typhoon as well, so I have to pay for some more days, or move it out of there.

Yeah, I regret that one. Especially because it is the same engine as mine (with very minor differences)! Sorry about that, man.

My old roomate has one of those. He bought it when we were in japan last year. I'll have to agree though, he's a huge FD ricer and I think the headunit makes it worse for him, all the colors and stuff. He also has the full set of Defi BF gauges, only two of which do anything other than just light up.
