In that case, where will I find one?

Don't be confused lol. The same company distributes both Clarion and JVC. Obviously JVC is a lot easier to sell.

sorry for the misunderstanding but yes, that was my point.

check out the previous pages and you can also see many other members inquiring on the same.

I saw it at Bafna Motors in Pune (I got a Pioneer though). The lowest
Clarion was at 9000+ (they weren't selling it without B & W).
I got a Pioneer without B & W which was much cheaper.

Pio 2950 or 3950.........confused. Need to decide quick. Suggestions

az

[low_bass_makker]

if you can get the 3950 then go for it...it has added feature and the price difference is quite less

guys, i need to finalize a headunit with usb. there are two choices in front of me. pioneer 7950 (11k+ without b&w) and jvc KD G-635 (around 9k).

i had a demo of the jvc head unit (at the new jbl showrom in kochi). inserted my pendrive in the usb slot and played songs from it. pioneer7950 am yet to get a demo as it was not readily available.

how do you rate these?

There is only a difference of one pre-out b/w 2950 & 3950. Nothing more. Right ?

If the guy is not going for a sub & amplifier setup, then the 2950 will suffice !!!

Any idea how much does Bahamas MP46/ Maui MP36 cost? with and without B&W?
Here's the all Blaupunkt lineup i'm planning..
HU: Bahamas MP46/ Maui MP36
Speakers: IC 107/ IC 115 (Front), GTx 542 (rear)

[reignofchaos]

I think the MP46 is around 10 grand and MP36 is around 8 grand. Both with bill+warranty.

I was told by one of the accessories dealer here that a grey market Head unit is assembeled with original parts but a duplicate lens in Vashi Mumbai. Is this true?

How does Alpine 9856 compares to Blau MP46 and Pio 7950 ? All three seems to be in comparable price range.

Huh? The parts are always 'original' - they would only use cheaper quality parts (electronic components, PCB) and 'drive unit' (the one that actually rotates and reads the CD) - if they want to make a 'duplicate'.

Changing only the 'lens' is not a trivial task (imagine the precision alignment required) nor will it reduce cost.
