    Default Kenwood Z727

    G'day guys, sorry for posting here but the powers say I don't have enough posts to stick it in the wanted to buy section, my missus' car got broke into for the second time in 3 years and the bast**rds have stolen the head unit again , this is the second Kenwood Z727 they have taken, yes we have an alarm fitted, but I digress, does anyone know a friend of a friend that has one of these units for sale or even a "Z828" I think that one was the updated model . Thanks peoples.
    Cheers

    Any particular reason why you want this specific model H/U? You could probably get a better one for roughly $150.

    HAHAHA good one. Just tell her you can get one that has more features, more looks, and more shiny things for cheapers. And also tell them it has more useless crap, women love useless crap, especially useless crap that cost lots of money. *runs for the hills*

    Thanks Philthy, Fred got nothin listed for sale, and Acarmody, minister has no intention of letting me sleep till I slay this dragon, might have to get her one from Evilbay usa, they seem to be the only ones with one but come without a face plate and for that they want your kidney as payment. i'll just keep plodding along, might find one yet.

    Damn mate you have this bad. I saw the Ebay USA sales of this H/U and how they sell the faceplate seperately. End result is your gonna spend upwards of $300 after postage for this H/U from America, that is second-hand and old.

    What about if you buy a $150 H/U, buy her some jewellry and take her out for dinner? Would that work, cause it will probably still be cheaper.

    Ok let me get this straight, i give her head (unit), buy her rings for her n**ples and get her some H/Jacks, sounds good will do that tomorow and if she doesn't hear music then a 16oz ballpien hammer should do the trick LOL.

    Seriously though I think your right, the cost from the U.S is outrageous, it really is time to upgrade but she really hates H/U's that have the big turning knobs on them she prefers pushbutton type (always has)and they are becoming scarce in the mid to high-end units.

    Thats friggin hilarious. Good one.

    Tell her she doesn't have to use the big wheel on the H/U thats what the damn remote is for. Besides you have your eyes off the road for less time with the wheel controls.

    Or you could spend some extra money and get one of those CAT units, a bit expesive but then you can use the factory steering wheel BUTTONS. One member on these forums that I know of is making one of these units now and they will be even cheaper.

    A CAT unit is a device that you connect to the wiring in the steering wheel that then turns it into a infrared signal that mimics the H/Us remote control. You place the infared transmitter up near your roof light and point at the H/U.

    If you need to buy a H/U, RYDA.com.au - Great Prices on Car Audio, Mobile Phones, Digital Cameras and GPS Navigation have some decent prices and deliver Australia wide.

    Thanks Arcamody, got that site, they are good with prices, 1 more question for you, what wires in the steering wheel ????, if you mean the factory steering wheel remote I don't have one but i'm looking on Evilbay for one or maybe I need a whole new wheel with one already attached off a calais or stato.

    I thought all VTs had factory radio buttons??? Mode, Up, Down, Mute, Volume up, and Volume down, doesn't your car have these?

    Huh strange I guess I was wrong. Maybe only the luxury models had them.

    I don't know if you can just add a luxury model wheel or even a VX wheel which would probably be a straight fit. Your car may not have the clock spring behind the wheel or the necessary wiring behind the dash. Maybe someone else on the forums will know that. Maybe even ask a Holden dealership.
