Audio Set Up Upgrade For Honda

[DVT]

Hello, Need some advice pls. Planning to upgrade CRV 2014 current head unit with a touch screen full display. Unfortunately no proper unit is found as yet. Tried P*to Lanka yesterday . They have Kenwood but not happy with housing as looks odd and looks detached from dash board once fixed. Cost was about 60k. S*un lanka does not have one to suit CRV. I am very particular to find a unit which fits nicely with the double din housing looks as factory fitted. Please let me know if you know any place who can get it for me ( agents are damn expensive and not encouraging saying that they don import if not linked into chasis number as per their database) Tried e -bay and found few units looks as original at a cost of about 60k LKR ( picture below ). But not sure if you have to pay taxes. Pls let me know if you recommend this option

Try Gilbert & Sons. Saw a 2014 CR-V at Stafford which was fixed with a Clarion setup. It had been done by Gilbert & Sons. BTW did you buy your CR-V from Stafford?

Tks. Tried that place and fixed. JVC.

My vehicle was coming through agents . I am the second owner .

Thanks

Ohh okay. BTW an out of the topic question. How is the fuel economy? I guess you have the 2 liter version.

[DVT]

yes . 2 Liter

City driving - 6 - 8 km ( I manage to do 7 on average )

Outstation - 12-13 km

Highway - 15 km @ 100km per hour - If you are little harder on paddle 13 -14 km

Oh okay. Same fuel economy with my one. I thought 6Km/L-7Km/L in the city is too low coz Stafford claims that it does 8Km/L in the city on Eco mode. But I've got only 6Km/L-6.5Km/L in the city with Eco mode. With 95 octane petrol. My one has still done only 11,400Kms though.

How about updating your fuel figures here ? That is a thread discussing fuel efficiency. So everyone can easily find CRV fuel figures too.

[NRA95]

Done. Thanks Kusumsiri.

Mine 7 per liter when eco mode off and not sure how it would do with eco mode on as I generally driver eco mode on.. I pump 95 octane but ensure that Tyre pressure is maintained at 30 always. check once a week when I go for fuel refill.

This fuel figure is better compared my previous ride ( Sportage 2011 - It did only 6km per liter in city and outstation the same numbers). Therefore I am happy man

Mine also odometer at 19,000 km. I dont think it has nothing to do much unless the engine is very old.

Ohh right. Yeah when eco mode is on its underpowered.
