Result.Kenwood mask and alpine graphic

[themills]

Found my old stereo and graphic in the in-laws loft.

Been up there at least 8 years i would of thought.

Had them in my mk2 golf years ago with a pair of 12 inch alpine subs.

Is it worth the period look and installing them to my E30?

Its the Kenwood with the little blue remote to "code" it.

found in a bag with the wiring, remover keys and instruction book, no box though
Model number. krc-778r


With it was my old alpine graphic, was very effective if i remember correctly

model number. ERE G180

Would it look good in the Touring? or shall i put back in loft?

This one

[themills]

Quite possibly, i havent powered it up for a few years but looks about right.

You got one?

[toby]

No but I remember the model. It's a bit wasted in the loft isn't it?

[themills]

It is yes but Im thinking of fitting it to the E30. Only trouble is it's only tape player.

And a disc one which you have to manually do it but all the screen changes colour and stuff.

[themills]

Cool. Think I'll power it up today from my booster pack and see if it's still working. It's definately period for the car but it's been a while since I've seen a tape

lol.too late, went well though. Powered up. Just uploading pics

[themills]

Heres the stereo, powered up but the blue "coder" didnt work, hopefully just the battery.


and the Alpine graphic, didnt try this and might not use it anyway.

Lovin the Alpine EQ drop me a PM if your selling it

[WeBuyAnyCar]

Went and got some pics of my mask
Which looks cooler than yours lol
It does alot more colours and stuff but cbb

[themills]

Ok so it looks cooler but i forgot i had mine so that makes it even cooler

When i get the E30 back from Eko ill fit it and see if i can cope with just stereo as i no longer have any tapes.

[WeBuyAnyCar]

You win your the coolest with your long lost mask lol.
Hook up an external music source to it.

So thats the stereo going in the E30 when it gets back.

[themills]

Not sure but this is it. do you know?

[themills]

You can see the momo boss and gearknob to the left of the steering wheel too.

a kenwood mask was my 1st in car cd player, it was an earlier one than the above, without the blue triangle light.

7050 was the model number i think (the 9050 was the top of the range at the time) really loved it, tons of features that i thought were the tits at the time. shame the ribbon cable started playing up so it used to not respond or stick closed.

pretty sure ive still got it somewhere. not quite old school enough for an e30 imho, although it did have selectable button illumination unlike my current alpine unit

[themills]

Sort of what i was thinking. Not quite old skool enough, odd though that mine seems to be newer than a few guys on here but mine is tape and the older ones are cd.

[Faz2kool]

Kenwoods are ok but sound is not excellent.

They do fit the E30 look though. Gona find a mask Kenwood for mine and wire it up to an amp to get some decent sound.

Got an old Mask kenwood somewhere but the ribbon is broken so doesnt flip over. Might look for it and wire that up.

[themills]

Ill be fitting mine when i get the car back. Just ordered the ipod connector from the previous page so for now, im sorted.
