Post Fri Dec 30, 2005 12:03 pm

OK my tape player has just about had it and was looking for a basic single CD player and spotted this http://www.justkenwood.co.uk/stock01/kdc334sa.asp what do you think. Im just going to powering three ways in the standard kick panel position

I like kenwood my last one lasted over 10 years

Am I right in reading that link that its only Ãƒ”šÃ‚£67.45

ONLY 60 quid on eBay

I cant believe how cheap they are these days, when I got my tape player its was about Ãƒ”šÃ‚£350

Take a look at this site too https://digitalsounddirect.co.uk/shop/login.html

Some great units with great prices on there, I have dealt with them myself, and the service was 100%.

I had a right bargain on there, bought a Kenwood CD/MP3 player for Ãƒ”šÃ‚£100, cheapest elsewhere online was Ãƒ”šÃ‚£200.

i like the one in your thread. think it will complement the e30s interior with the red lights

Do head units that are sold in different contries have different languages on the front ?

Example: would a head unit sold in Germany have german writing on the buttons?

That's what I've got... make sure it's MDLP compatible though if that's what you use...

They're usually pretty cheap on eBay - I can check my model number if you want

looking at a Kenwood KMD-671R and KMD-673R however i dont know if they are compatible with my KDC-C465 CD changer

Do you not want to get an MP3 / CD player as they will play both CD format , MP3 and WMA i think. Then you can burn loads of tracks onto one disc ?

just a thought

I've just been out (in the rain!) to check & mine's a 673R... & my changer's the same as yours too!

IIRC, the 671r is pretty much the same, but doesn't do MDLP.

Thanks for checking (in the rain too)

do you like the 673R ? How much was it when you bought it ?

I have a KRC-378R crappy Tape Deck. There's nothing wrong with it, but i want a MD player in the car (plus i havn't owned a cassette tape in 10 years)

I can't fault it really... Not tried it with the built in amp so I can't comment on that, but everything else is fine. The blue power button is ridiculously bright, but a permenant marker soon sorted that out!

I think I got it for about Ãƒ”šÃ‚£60 with the changer off eBay... Probably about 6 months ago.

Now I either need to attempt some ridiculously fine soldering, or get a new MD recorder

Tempted to get a HD based mp3 player & switch across to that, but MD still suits me fine really...

I don't suppose the 673 records off the radio? does it?

Sorry Cotty for the

Post Fri Dec 30, 2005 5:27 pm

Nope, doesn't record at all

Best kenwoods are the KDC x090 series. I've got 7090s in both my cars, and theyre great. Motorised flip front, and about everything you could want. Got both mine from ebay, for Ãƒ”šÃ‚£100 each and one came with a CD changer too.
There's plenty of 6090s on ebay at the moment.

No worries

Does that look like a rotary volume control on the left. I dont like buttons to change the volume

DOH just re-read the advert and it says "Rotary volume controller"
