Those cubbyholes were mentioned but unless your dash has a huge slant to it or there's something that's an interference fit I find them to be effectively self-cleaning.

In my 1-1/2 DIN RX-7, I have a Taurus pop-out cupholder in the 1/2 DIN "EQ" slot. I'm not a fan of drink cups right beside semi-expensive electronics, but RX-7s have no factory cupholders whatsoever, unless you have a passenger. In my Crown Vic, I just have the usual DIN-sized poo poo pocket, which is generally empty in my case. If the whole thing was a pop-out "free box", that would be pretty cool, because anything small gets lost at the back of the pocket. Or falls out.

Part of the issue is I'm OCD as hell when it comes to car stereos and any sort of modification has to match the interior. Something like that Free Box stuff would irrationally drive me up the wall because it doesn't really match the rest of the interior. It's honestly gotten to the point where I've thought of gutting the tape deck and putting something in its place to tie into the existing buttons and wiring. I need help.

I wish I could justify a Dynavin for my e46 but I just can't do it. I think it's WinCE based too  but still the best option for a double-din radio that doesn't require you to cut the HVAC ducting behind the head unit.

Cakefool posted:I hate to be that guy that one-ups, but have you tried dealing with Freecycle? Put up an ad donating something and you'll get 200 begging emails wanting it in perfect condition, delivered at a specific time. Take the ad down and you'll get 150 nasty emails about how you gave it to the wrong person and they're more deserving. When someone comes to pick it up (if they do) they'll eye up literally everything you own and ask if it's either included or available. Holy poo poo, gently caress that noise. Still not as good as the guy who tired to Jesus-Guilt me into dropping $4000 off the selling price of my truck though!

Pioneer has an awesome double din unit for $100. Its goofy looking but owning an android phone I almost never have to touch it. Start up the car and the bluetooth starts playing my last google play song automatically. I only have to touch it to switch sources or change volume. edit: FH-X700BT no longer manufactured what the crap

I dunno where to post this, but the chat threads seem to move quickly so at least a few people might see this. This showed up in a driveway about halfway between my apartment and my office a few days ago.    (if the phone numbers are hard to read, they are 416 657 1106 and 416 558 9512) I'm basically advertising for a complete stranger here, I don't know this person and I don't know anything about this car other than it's parked in a driveway on Columbia Street in Waterloo, Ontario. I think the zip-tie on the grill is a nice touch. Somebody should Roadkill-style Roadtrip this thing. The Canuck-buck is weak against the mighty American greenback at the moment, so one of you lunatics could pick this thing up cheap and drive it the long (loooong) way home. I suggest naming it "The Great White North". EDIT: I can't find an internet advertisement for this anywhere, and I have no idea what price the seller might be asking. Call and find out!

Clarion internals on par with most of what you'd find on a shelf (and they tend to get along with aftermarket speakers pretty well), easily aux-modded (or if you find a newer 2din one, aux is right there) and they all look subdued and, well, stock. Drawbacks being the wonky way they're backlit (dimmed on the ground side but switched on the positive), no pre-outs and the fact that you've got to make a bracket. That's what I did with the Kia.

I put the freebox/cupholder combo in my Cruiser to fill the gap left by the factory am/fm radio, it's kinda crappy but beats jamming drinks down the side of the handbrake lever.

So the security guard I hired can't manage the one thing I asked him to do in order to keep his job, which is be available when called and don't disappear. It's almost impossible to get fired here and this dude is managing to accomplish it and I really don't want to go through the hiring process again god dammit.

While I do use Bluetooth occasionally I actually just chuck everything on a SD card and listen through that. The sony touch screen unit I had in my SVX did bluetooth flawlessly (and it was the only thing it did to well), but the Blaupunkt unit I have really makes the USB work better if you organize the folders by genres like I do.

I'm ultimately probably going to bite the bullet and get another Blaupunkt Toronto although they discontinued the 420 and the 440 is like $330 before shipping from Germany. Utimately this ended up being a pointless exercise unfortunately as I just discovered its possibly to unlock the driver side door with my mail box key so shoving in pricey stereo units isn't high on the priority list

I actually have that same head unit sitting on my desk. Got it as a "don't think it works, hooked it up wrong and didn't get sound, yours for the cost of shipping" radio (it worked fine when I tested it), I just haven't gotten around to tracking a trim ring or a mounting kit. It's not a bad head unit. A little goofy looking, but it's decent, and actually has radio preset buttons (something my current DEH-X8600BH lacks, and not having them drives me crazy).

Then, imagine that he had several on-record instances of suspected pot usage on the job and also consider how the supervisor who responded to the fire alarm and who cancelled the fire department response got there fast enough to smell the reeking smoke and take him immediately to HR. Now take a deep breath, close your eyes, and picture HR pussyfooting for a week because ~compassion~ before terminating him. Yes I work in Security in a supervisory role, kill me now
