Best DoubleDin HeadUnit

[97strokn&smokn]

i have always run alpine headunits and havent had any problems with them.

 

[David S.]

I'm considering Alpine also. I've ran two of those as well.

sonicelectronic is where i got all my audio stuff

 

[David S.]

I'm in the same boat, my Pioneer D2 is finally taking a $hit on me.

the new alpines are pretty sick. but if you can find one id go eclipse.

 

[David S.]

are eclipses hard to find? what are the specs on those?

I just sold a pioneer d3 and it was a nice unit but the navigation that pioneer has is crap as mentioned above.
I just installed a kenwood dnx9600 and it's awesome.

Both have nice units under the 1k price point.

ended up going with this model kenwood! Should be here next week!

I know you already got one, but figured I'd post anyways for others interested...

Just a simple CD/MP3 player with USB and Aux In. When I first got this truck I was spending a TON of time in it, so I upgraded the deck and speakers and added Sirius too. I needed a deck that would do CD's, play MP3's, and accept USB and Ipod plugs. Mind you this was a few years ago, so it doesn't directly read Ipods, just runs through the aux input. It's a JVC XG-700, was aobut $199 new.

Quick question, does anyone know if you can run an aux screen off of a head unit for the kids and run the radio at the same time?

 

[Cobra 19 & 54]

Depends on the unit. Alpine makes a kit that will run like that. The rear screens have wireless headphones that give them audio while you're listening to the radio.

I ended up with a Pioneer again and I'm very happy with it. The voice control and phone stuff work really well.

 

[David S.]

yeah I love the bluetooth in mine, really cool

That looks too GM to me.

This is what I am going to get http://www.crutchfield.com/p_113BT648U/Kenwood-KDC-BT648U.html?tp=5684&nvpair=FFBrand|Kenwood

I like that single-din Grayson. Seems like good reviews as well. After having a double din in my last truck I don't think I could ever go back to a singledin though.Just something about that 5" screen

thanks for the response.

That looks awesome I wish I would have bought one instead of a flip out.
