WTI 59 Report post Posted May 9, 2013 http://www.driveav.com/product/ALFA_Series/2012/0503/23.html Want one of these but says 147 2000-2007 GT 2007 onwards Will it fit my 2006 GT ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twisted_pr 16 Report post Posted May 9, 2013 Don't see why not, as all previous 147/GT stereo equipment is interchangeable (provided you have all the wiring in place). Looking at it I think they've assumed that the GT replaced the 147 in 2007, although it might be different in China? Looks neatly but would need to hear the sound quality before purchasing. How much is it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

twisted_pr 16 Report post Posted May 9, 2013 They have a sales@... e-mail address - reckon it's an order it job, but for the trade, although they might do business if you organised a group purchase. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Morgan 46 Report post Posted May 13, 2013 eBay sellers are always banging out units like that. The bonus is you can read seller reviews, and only trade with people who are legit, with loads of feedback. That first link you posted up looks more fake than Jordan's tits. Probably legit, but I don't like the look of it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Smaky 73 Report post Posted May 13, 2013 I've seen this unit in a few cars and to be hnest the sound isn't as good as a standard Blaupunkt, but if it is through the Bose then it's acceptable, the other functions like the hands free and nav system are OK once you've mastered the set-up.

Morgan 46 Report post Posted May 14, 2013 Or, buy this, which will then mean you can buy any double-din unit. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CONNECTS2-ALFA-147-GT-DOUBLE-DIN-STEREO-FACIA-KIT-/160896081838?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Car+Make%3AAlfa+Romeo%7CModel%3A147&hash=item2576275fae Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twisted_pr 16 Report post Posted May 14, 2013 Or, buy this, which will then mean you can buy any double-din unit. http://www.ebay.co.u...=item2576275fae Although make sure you get the right colour plastic fascia (GT is darker than 147 IIRC) Plus a remote stalk adaptor kit (with the correct patch lead for your headunit). Alpine example: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ALFA-ROMEO-147-GT-Steering-Stalk-Control-Adaptor-CTSAR003-for-Alpine-Stereo-/250934751001?pt=UK_In_Car_Technology&hash=item3a6ce06f19 There are three or four different configurations - (CTS)AR001 for non-canbus, AR003 for canbus, AR003.2 for phone controls (if you have those buttons on the steering wheel). Also, read the guide on AO about fitting an aftermarket headunit, as hold the front page - Alfa in non-standard wiring shocker! http://www.alfaowner...156-and-gt.html Finally, on my 147, Alfa didn't fit any excess wiring, so in this case the tel-controls wires and GPS antenna connection are missing.

WTI 59 Report post Posted May 15, 2013 This one looks better JVC Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Morgan 46 Report post Posted May 15, 2013 That JVC one does look tidy. The best looking double-din units are pure touchscreen bad boys, where the screen rotates to accept CDs/DVDs. You can generally customise the display to look like the rest of your dials, too (i.e. red backlight). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LJ_GQV 115 Report post Posted May 15, 2013 Think i put some photos on here when i changed the headunit in my GTA, i must have done something because morgan said it looked like a microwave before it was fitted I'll have a look for it later because it was pretty good kenwood DDX i think it was called, looked like a factory fit & the colour trim/surround was a perfect match for the rest of the car so didn't look out of place at all Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twisted_pr 16 Report post Posted May 15, 2013 Decided to stick with my single din Alpine with a screen that slides out http://www.alpine.co...ions4/iva-d511r Means I have a brand new Alpine IVA W520R and 147/GT double din adaptor kit (fascia and cage) lying about. http://www.alpine.co...ions4/iva-w520r Oh, and a brand new reverse camera kit http://www.alpine.co...mera58/hce-c115. Am gonna gumtree/fleabay it, unless the OP (or anyone else) is interested? You'd also need a separate plug in box for sat nav, another one for bluetooth, plus a stalk adaptor kit.
