telf911 Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 As per title. I've had my Bora for nearly 3 years now and have had the old style Mexico Pro 4625, old style Traffic Pro 7825 and newer style Mexico Pro (pre Bluetooth).IMO they are great HU's that concentrate on SQ and ease of use rather than gizmo's to attract the Max Power brigade, such as screen savers, 4 x 65w outputs etc.Anyone got any pics of their Becker fitted to the Lupo?BTW, the old style Mexico Pro sounds better than the newer ones IMO.

scottgroovez Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 I'll get pics of mine later. I went for the red version as 1. the car's red and 2. I think it fits in better with all the other "central" lights being red.The bluetooth handsfree is really useful though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g-man85 Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 Are these units that good a sound quality? I mean in comparision with say an Alpine in the same price bracket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfbr Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 (edited) Are these units that good a sound quality? I mean in comparision with say an Alpine in the same price bracket?A million times better... Alpine Chasis are made by Kenwood now, hense the massive reduction in quality style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />The only unit i can give a comparison to the Beckers would be a Nakamichi...The only unit better than it would be a McIntosh as standard in some of the Ford GT's in america... but then nobody's gona be spending £900+ on importing a CD Player with no onboard amp style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />With becker you've gotta remember there routs...The company that runs "Becker" is Harman Industries... Famous for there Harman Kardon brand...I miss my Becker Mexico Pro, Like the deserts miss the rain style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />My old' mexi pro, is the one in Bluloop's pics... yes... that EXACT one...

g-man85 Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 I just love that 'OEM' look of them.How many becker models are there? So far just seen the one model on Caraudiodirect.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krieglupo Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 (edited) I just love that 'OEM' look of them.Totally agree, hate the way decent HU's have to be all flashy and stand out like a sore thumb.Quick question, what does the button do above the screen that has nothing on it. border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" />And what speakers are you guys with the Becker units using. ta.

Dubweiser Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Always thought these were cheapy headunits that just colour match the dash. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Spec looks pretty good may consider.

nfbr Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 shoulda bought the blue/red one mate style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> still - the best choice in stereo for a lupo EVER! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottgroovez Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 (edited) It was a toss up between the two. I deliberated and even ordered a blue, but then changed it for the red. I prefer it to the blue as all the centre dash lights are now red. It's also not as "cold" as the blue and it matches the colour of the car style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />The handsfree bluetooth support is brilliant. So useful and much better than having one of those daft headsets clipped to your ear. Edited May 18, 2007 by scottgroovez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telf911 Posted May 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 Yes, it also doubles as a flashing security light, aswell as the IR receiver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobG Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 Do they have anything like an AUX in, so i could get music from my hd-mp3 player on it?They do look rather nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfbr Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 i believe you can get an Aux in adapter for them, but you will probs only find one on german ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
