Car Stereo

[Niltava]

Hello,

My Honda CRV (2002) has a very poor (non-factory) stero in it, which I want to replace.

Can anybody recommend somewhere in Bangkok to buy a new one (that I can attach my iphone to for listening to MP3s), and get it fitted?

If I buy one in the USA and bring it over, will the radio pick up local stations in Bkk?

Thanks,

N

[IMHO]

American FM radio starts at 87.7MHz while around here it starts at 87.5Mhz, so there might be a few stations you won't be able to tune into. Also, sometimes local market models get the volume control placed on the right side, so closer to the driver. Outside of that, it's all the same though.

That said, the sound quality and volume you get out of an audio system represents the sum of it's parts - which includes not only the source unit but also speakers as well as perhaps amps, and some would even go so far as to include some esoteric wiring into the mix.

My suggestion would be to visit a few car audio shops for some ideas/demos.

I have used Rocketsound in the past, and have been happy with their service - a quick google search will find them.
