The Kenwood models can auto open and close & manually. Ontop of that it still closes with the ignition off and key removed. I.e. turn off engine and it starts to close shut down everything and it doesn't stop half way it goes in completely.

I wondered how long it would take for this to become a 'Kenwood is better as long as you don't mind buying and installing a load of extra boxes and can put up with the Fisher Price GUI' thread Rolling with laughter

I'm only messing DJ. Thumbs Up Both's better than Alpine that's at -1 as far as I'm concerned. Dare I say it I'll be lynched for saying that now......

(Takes cover)

Regarding extra boxes. That's all very well being all in built but has to be bough in one lump sum and if you don't want a certain feature you have to buy it anyway. Is the Clarion BT powered by Parrot by the way?

Yes it is matey, a 12v squawker , and seems to work well, even with the standard built in mike. First things I've had where it connected to BT without a whole load of messing about.

Anyway I thought Alpine was a breakfast item Whistle

Yeah with raisins in. Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter Whistle

On topic. Good to hear that's the same as Kenwood. Parrot are the market leaders for BT so normally they join together and produce a compatible unit. $W33T $0U7H3RN $UG4R

Whoops - me bad. Got that wrong its (as you have spotted) auto open, not auto open and close. I would have put money on it closing automatically but seems not. I turned that function off a year ago so memory dimmed I'm afraid

So it'll open when you turn on, but stay open when you switch off. A really handy feature then Laughing
