Im going to purchase a new headunit sometime soon and was just wondering if the Clarion VRX486VD unit actually plays cds/dvds or if this thing is just a screen? and if i need to purchase an additional headunit to go with it. Below is the link for it.

nope it plays discs. Incar probably have one in stock (if thats where you are looking.) not a bad unit actually. sold one a few months back.

yeh im buying a used one off a friend and just doin online research as usual just to see what im getting

are these headunits any harder to install than the standard ones? only going to be hooked up to some 6x9s which will be powered by an amp, maybe also a sub but yeh pretty standard setup

whats rough install costs these days?

sorry for the simple questions lol

install depends on what its going into. $100-$150 is the norm for me. allow a bit of room behind the rear of it, there are a few cables that you will need to manipulate.

hope your getting it cheap, Autobarn at Slacks Creek has them for $499

yea getting it for $300 is that alright price for a used one, it works fine and all, dont know much about headunit depreciation stuff, i was gonna spend $200 on a decent 1din standard kenwood headunit but got offered this dvd touch screen one and yeh

I have the double din version of this. Only thing to think about before you screw it in is that the handbrake cable to de-activate the saftey feature on the screen you cannot just earth it out and expect it to work. The unit needs to see that its not earthed out when the unit is switched on then needs to see that it is. I.e it thinks the handbrake was off when you start the car then the handbrake was put on when the car is still turned on but not moving
