Swe-A147

Recommended Posts

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 B) but would need to hear the sound quality before purchasing. How much is it?

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.

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. :tut:

 

Probably legit, but I don't like the look of it.

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.

Or, buy this, which will then mean you can buy any double-din unit.

+1

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! :teehee: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.

Fine. I'm reporting you for piss-poor punctuation then. (Should be "fucker's", as is abbreviated form of "fucker is") :P

 

 

 

 

(Will there be anyone left, I wonder?)

:D

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).

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 :LOL:

 

I'll have a look for it later because it was pretty good :thumbs: 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 :thumbs:

Decided to stick with my single din Alpine with a screen that slides out B)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.
