Hi, Looked at the Yokohamas but they were just out of budget for me. I just installed the Kumho Solus KH16 on Thursday. In comparison to Yoko they are pretty...
My Monthly payment is just about the same, they gave me a 60 month lease term, and threw in the extra wear and tear package with no deductible, which is good...
So far, I've not had any trouble (burnout) from the SilverStars I put in mine - it's been a few years, but do have the old one's on boards, just in case :) ...
Hi, I have just purchased a 2008 Matrix and am looking for info as to carrying a 17' ck sea kayak. I find that the Thule and Yakima rack set up limit the...
They make trailers specifically for small cars and kayaks - an alternative to drilling holes. Regards, Jose (Sent via Sprint Treo700p, so please do not reply...
It's been sooooooo long since I've posted on here, or even looked in on the board! How are you all doing? I'm about to install a JVC 7" DVD player and...
... Keep us posted how that goes. The low volume on list is indicative of the reliability of our Matrixes, right? Good to see another XRS'er on list. AC '04...
Anyone have recommendations for a portable MP3 car player that I can install in my 2007 Matrix and hook into the car's speakers without tooooooo much trouble? ...
That's a nice head unit. I was checking it out at Best Buy earlier today. Regards, Jose (Sent via Sprint Treo700p, so please do not reply with attachments...
Hello Diane, For a DIY, a good on-line store and consultant would be www.crutchfield.com They can help guide you through the process of picking out what...
Funny you'all should break the silence on this board with a topic about the Matrix sound system. I have a stock '03 Trix and yesterday, for the first time, the...
The people at Best Buys in northern NJ wouldn't do the installation on my aftermarket radio, but that's where I bought it. I don't remember which one I got but...
Hello Diane, A big duh here...I now realize what you are looking for. As for a portable mp3 player....I would have to say that Apple has the market cornered....
Go to Crutchfield. They'll hook you up with a ton of free stuff to help your install go smoothly. That's what I did for my new JVC. I'll let you know how the...
Will let you know how it goes. By the way, fyi for all of those out there who may not remember me...I founded this board and used to sign Brantly. Happy...
Try the Schosche FM Modulator if you want to stick with the stock deck. I think you'll find that going w/ a direct line-in modulator will be much cleaner...
You guys had me looking at all the new 'radios' you can get for a car and the DVD Players are very interesting at Crutchfield. It plays anything on a disk, dvd...
Ok, yeah I took a look at Crutchfield's site and see that the unit you linked to is the Jensen VM8012. I was originally looking at the Jensen VM9022 until a...
I agree to try crutchfield.com to replace the head unit. You enter the year, make and model of your car and their database recommends what will fit / work in...
Yes, its the VM8012, for $220 its not bad considering other places sell it at the low of $170, but without the mounting hardware or instructions. Thanks...
My brother-in-law, a tech-head, told me there's a small gadget you can buy that hooks into your MP3 player and then somehow tunes it into a spare radio ...
Yea, I've seen them but no sure how well they work. There are a lot of different ones out there. Nancy A. Cavanaugh What's going on for teens in Keene, NH --...
This is somewhat similar to what my brother-in-law recommended, but supposedly the gizmo he's recommending is wireless. So, no installation required. This...
I take a remote class and receive MP3's each week of the lectures. I use an iRock Beamit to play them through my car speakers. It works great. I've been using...
I'll check out the iRock Beamit, too. Thanks for the tip! --Diane ... ____________________________________________________________________________________ ...
If you're partial to sound quality, I would never recommend any type of FM modulator. It just sounds way too muffled for me. It's as if you've got a few...
If you're going to go FM modulator, you need to, at the least, get one that directly connects to the antenna cable. Otherwise, you'll fade in and out. Delphi ...
