Hi All,
Just wanted to introduce myself. Name's Miller and currently eagerly awaiting delivery of a SX. This would be the first car I've ever bought. Although its actually a surprise birthday present for the Missus.
I'm the kinda guy who doesn't mind the odd DIY. Infact, I'm already looking for a MMCS to drop in to the SX when I get it. Yes, even before I've even seen the car
So hello to all!!

Why mmcs and not aftermarket?

Thanks for the welcome guys.
@Fitter : Was thinking aftermarket would not have all features/build quality of OEM. Yes its heaps cheaper, i know. May be its time I hit ebay
. Advice or recommendations are gratefully appreciated.

Hi Millerz. I have MMCS and at times it's a pain in the backside and rockford forsgate is great but MMCS has too many restrictions while moving - I should have went aftermarket.

Thanks again guys.
Been reading mixed reviews about MMCS.
@China: Apart from restrictions when moving, what else is iffy on the MMCS?
MMCS is a bit dear as well though. 3k+!!! new. Cant really find a second hand one that easily.
Was looking at a few aftermarket ones on ebay and seems like about 2-3 designs exist. Anyone with experience with these?
Also are there any branded setups that fit the CJ? like Pioneer or Clarion or something?

Hey millerz,
Like Ali said there are a lot of functions and gadgets which are lancer specific but the asking price is a bit high and while the user restrictions in motion are annoying at times it is a decent system (I guess safety should come first). As Ofey pointed out (thanks - didn't know there was a kit available), there is a kit on the market to eliminate these problems and there is a 'how to' for the install in the forum (but watching DVD's while driving is just irresponsible - my opinion anyway).

Thanks again @China and @Alileighju. Need to do some more reading to consider which way to go.
@DORA_ANNE hehe yeah, shes in for a surprise alright. In all fairness though, cant say I'm not excited about it as well
