Myvi new audio system
Turning one year old recently, my myvi got itself a revamp for the audio system. The original MYVI comes only with a Clarion CD player…as mentioned earlier in my post about FM modulators, I was looking to use my iPod in the car and play more songs instead of having to burn all my albums on CDs. (I don’t leave original CDs in the car). Anyways, after my post, another blogger Azrin had warned me about frying my iPod coz of the different volts. That sucks, so I had to look at AUX in type of players.
I ended up with the KENWOOD KDC MD439, a pretty decent MP3 CD Player with Bass Boost and AUX input. MYVI also doesn’t come with speakers at the rear, like all normal cars do. So we got the Kenwood speakers installed too.
This is my setup for the iPod.
When I’m the passenger, I can even watch my podcasts. Sometimes I can also use the holder for my handphone to make calls using the in car speakers. Pretty awesome. All this job was done at Brothers. I was impressed with overall job, though not with the salesman. He made a lot of promises only to add on the pricing after the deal was made, and there were too many excuses.
Anyways, the player and speakers works well for me, nothing too loud or bassy.

Let me see…changing the headboard – RM78
The Kenwood player – RM388
Speakers – RM299
Some thing to up the voltage – RM90
Installation – RM65
But in total the bill was RM855 as they discounted the installation…the salesman had not mentioned I needed the power that costs RM90 nor the installation of RM65..so that was the additional..aux input cable was my own

Hi Leonalim,
I came across your blog and since you are listening to iPod through your car audio player so I would like to know if you encounter the same problem as my car audio player does. I’m also driving MyVi and the car audio originally comes with USB port so I plug my iPod in to listen to my mp3s. However, I always have this problem whereby I actually have a lot of songs in my iPod but when plugged into my car audio player, it only plays a few songs. All the other songs are not played. I search the tracks but my car audio only displays 7 tracks out of the 30 tracks that I have in my iPod.
Do you know what is causing this problem? Really hope I can get an answer here.
Thanks
