Japanese Head Units

Does anyone know where to buy japanese head units? I found a double din eclipse on ebay last week, but I didn't have the money at the time //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif . I believe it was model E5503CDI. Anyhelp is greatly appreciated.

Unless you can read Japanese, Ebay is your best bet //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Just an FYI though, if you care about FM broadcast radio you might run into problems with a JDM head unit. The Japanese FM band is a lot narrower than ours, and even with a converter you're losing some spectrum. If you don't care about the radio, ignore that //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Sorry bout that azbass, I meant from the united states. I don't much care for the fm frequency as the converters can be purchased. I don't much care for the radio, all of the stations around here are crap.

I came close before i stumbled onto an eclipse 8053.

be sure to get the correct, as close as you can anyway, FM converter. you have to pick high or low spectrum.

Yeah, I had checked them out I think that was who had the eclipse unit that I want to put in my wife's car. If I come across anything that hasn't already been mentioned I will be sure to post it up.
