Well, the choice obviously depends on the buyer. I will not be an Advocate for any brand, but as an installer/repairer of repute with long years of experience, i will not recommend a brand that will not give a good quality sound reproduction, all in the name of price and guarantee thats far fetched. A brand that i cannot see the 'Tokunbo' in Ladipo, a brand that doesn't have many years to its belt.
Believe me when i say this, i will pick a japanese brand ten times over a Korean brand! If you want to give it a go, then try cleaning the optical pick up lens of the so called korean champ with a medicated spirit or alcohol, and clean its japanese brand with the same thing, then you will see what i mean.shocked
All the best...
CHEERS!

Car Talk / Re: Issues With Golf 4 by manshyne(m): 11:08pm On Jun 09, 2013
Hmmmmm....
Golf MkIV a.k.a Golf 4 is the fourth generation of volkwagen renowned golf series. And it has lots of electronic components, to the advanced world a blessing and to us in Nigeria, a curse.
You ask why?
Here's the reason: we are still in the colonial Era of Automobile repairs, servicing and maintenance.
A simple check engine light that can be checked using a 'VAS' is not readily available, so the rest is guess work, and if you ask the mechanics, all they will say is ''na electrical fault, carry am go meet rewire'' imagine!
The world has moved pass the trial and error method, there's no room for guess work.
So in simple words, the Golf IV is more complex to our mechanic than the sister, Golf III. That is why U see lots of Golf III on our roads than Golf IV.
I hope this helps?
CHEERS!

Car Talk / Re: Urgent! How Do I Remove Ballpoint Ink From My Car Leather Seat? by manshyne(m): 10:04pm On Jun 09, 2013
Removing ball point ink stain from a car leather seat...
A little bit tricky-ish buh dis is just my own way...
Use KEROSINE!!!
The ink in ball point pens are oil based products, while felt tip pens are water based. Alcohol is water soluble, so its only good for the felt pen ink, while kerosine is petroleum based and the oil based ball point is soluble in it. This means kerosine or all other petroleum products can dissolve it.
These're what you need;
1. Kerosine
2. Three no.s of clean piece of cotton towel/ face towel.
3. An empty plastic bottled water container (Ragolis, La Casera, coke etc.)
4. Detergent (preferably Klin)
5. A 2 inch nail (small)
6. Water
7. A Bucket
8. A bowl.
SO HERE IS THE PROCEDURE
- Fill the empty plastic bottle half way with kerosine and screw the caps tightly to seal it. (reason, you don't wanna ruin your car's interior wit kerosine!)
- make a tiny hole on the container's cap using the 2 inch nail (a hole enough to let the kerosine pass through)
- Take one of the cotton towel and soak a little portion of it wit the kerosine. Be careful not to add to many, to avoid it dripping unto the car seats. (dats the reason for the small hole in the first place)
- Gently dab the kerosine unto the stained area wit the kerosine-damped towel. Reason; so as to have kerosine on the stain surface enough to soak and dissolve it. (Avoid to much dabbing as this will make the kerosine drip and smearing dissolved ink unto other un-affected areas.
- Allow the kerosine to fully penetrate and dissolve the stains for at least 5-10mins.
- If there are more than one stain spot, repeat this process on other spots.
- Sqeeze out the kerosine-damped towel and begin to wipe off the stains. Use a clean area of the towel for every stains you want to wipe off.
- If the stains 're not wiped out completely, re-soak again and wipe off.
- After the stain must've gone, you will see some residual stain of the kerosine, more like an oil stain on the fabric.
- Mix the detergent (Klin soap) with water in the bowl and clean the residual stains wit a new towel dipped in soapy water.
- Take the last towel and soak in water. Use it to wipe the soap off your car seat, make sure ithe soap is completely wiped off.
- Allow to dry.
- By now you should be smilling. cheesy
CHEERS.

smartchoice: Oga fly enter any LG shop close to you!
yeah, L.G shop is where you can go especially when you're shopping for L.G products.
There 're two popular L.G products dat fit ur description, the first is sold for N15,999, while the second one should be around N20k. I wouldn't just jump into conclusion of buying a product without first exhausting all other options available if i were you.
So take your time and explore other possibilities.
CHEERS...

Do you mean a car stereo that plays cd written using wma and mp3 format? Or a car stereo that has both cd player and USB port for playing music files on a flash? There are so many brands available in Naija here that you can pick from and the good thing is that they are brand new and original!
We have popular names like; Pioneer, Sony, J.V.C, Panasonic, L.G and so on. And it depends on where you're in the country.
As regards the double DIN and single DIN, the double DIN is twice the height of the Single DIN, where single DIN being the normal size of car stereo u re familiar with. Get back to me so as to give you pointers as to how u can source for a very good one.
Cheers!
