Clarion Installed
Clarion Installed
Just thought I'd share a couple of photos. A couple of months back I installed a Clarion M502 marine head unit, which I think is probably the best match I've seen for the Crossfire's dash, aesthetically speaking. It's mechless, with Bluetooth and USB. I find the Bluetooth is really the most useful anyway, since it lets me use the voice control on my phone. The mic on the Clarion could be better, but it's passable.
No issues whatsoever with the install, probably 10-20 minutes top. Now I just need a day off with good weather so I can separate the front and rear speakers

Search on M303 and you should find everything you need to know. I have one of those in the XF, a CZ-702 in the Reatta (color match on instruments), and a CZ302 going in the Judge (hidden). Is a bit longer than the 502 but I like all the buttons in the same place.
The radio install thread lists everything you are going to need. I recommend soldering all connections.
The 303 did not come with a remote but the other two did and works fine. (is so close in the XF and Reatta that the remote is pointless unless you want to Velcro it on and say you have steering wheel controls...)
Am slowly bringing all my cars into this century.
There is a remote mike available and I will use one in the Judge. They talk a lot about iPhones but works just fine with my Android Samsung phone.

Tom/Speedy - pretty much what Padgett said, and works pretty well with my Windows Phone, I can't speak for the others for certain. You do have to push the ****/rocker to the side to answer though, no hands-free answer AFAIK. There's a remote mic available for the M502 as well. I don't find the display obnoxious at night, maybe I can try to take a photo tonight. Pretty much needed a Scosche radio harness for an 86+ VW, a euro radio key, and a euro antenna adapter. I didn't do any soldering, but I did have to swap a few connections around on the wiring harness.
I hadn't really noticed. I'm going to take a photo for you later, and pay attention to the brightness next time I'm driving in the dark
Re: Clarion Installed
I just purchased a Clarion M502 eagerly awaiting my package from Amazon. Hope to install this weekend. Taken loads of screen shots of all the wiring diagrams etc, also purchased the Scosche wiring harness. Need to get a Euro adapter for the aerial connector, do i need a male or female?
Will post pictures of the install once completed
