Fried my car radio
« on: January 18, 2011, 10:59:57 AM »
Was hooking up a rear view camera to my head unit (Alpine ixa-w404) in my truck (F250).  Was clamping on a tap in to a hot wire when the pliers bumped the chassis to my radio which was on so I could hear the Packers-Falcons game.   :sad:  So my head unit is a total loss. 

Want to get a replacement with a larger screen this time.  Does anybody know of any brands to stay away from?

I like the looks of this one  http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/p_18479_Dual_XDVD8281.aspx  Mainly for this review.

I FEEL THIS IS A VERY GOOD UNIT FOR THE PRICE. I HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH IT AT ALL AND ITS ABOUT A YEAR OLD. I LIKE IT BEACUSE IT IS VERY EASY TO HACK IT AND MAKE IT PLAY DVD WHILE DRIVING. I DO NOT RECROMEND THAT YOU DO THAT BEACUSE YOU MITE CRASH AND DIE, BUT IT IS VERY NICE TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT.

You meet a man on the Oregon Trail. He tells you his name is Terry. You laugh and tell him: "That's a girl's name!" Terry shoots you. You have died of dissin' Terry.

Nothing says multi-tasker like a big screen tv in the front seat.

"Hey my friends are the ones that wanted to eat at that shitty hole in the wall that only served bread and wine.  What kind of brick and mud business model is that.  Stick to the cart if that's all you're going to serve.  Then that dude came in with like 12 other people, and some of them weren't even wearing shoes, and the restaurant sat them right across from us. It was gross, and they were all stinky and dirty.  Then dude starts talking about eating his body and drinking his blood...I almost lost it.  That's the last supper I'll ever have there, and I hope he dies a horrible death."
