Buying a new HU

Trolling222 · 04-14-2010, 12:48 AM

I am about to buy a new Head unit. If anybody has either of the 2, please let me know what you think. I know these Head units are cheap in comparison to some of the ones that are out there but right now these are about all i can afford, i really don't want the nav function. I do however want to add a backup camera, which is a whole other discussion

Pioneer AVH-P3200BT ($399)

or

Sony XAV-60 ($350)

any others that you could recommend i would appreciate it thanks

I don't have it, but I am close to ordering the 3200. Like everything I have read about it and if I choose to add the nav in the future I can. Really want to get XM in this car and I want the backup cam also.

Haven't looked at the Sony, but I personally don't think they are the company the were in the early 90's.

Good luck with your decision.

Of the two, go with Pioneer. Pioneer has way more connectivity options all-the-way-around.

Yea I use a pioneer avic-900BT and i love it...It runs on Windows CE and u can run it in safe mode and Use it as a web browser with a wifi SD card. Its pretty sick.
Kinda like this

rogue,

how would you install windows CE, and with a wifi sd card how would you connect to the internet unless you are at a hotspot, will it work if you use your phone as a teather.

thanks

I like this...........how did you get this to work? I know I can buy a SanDish Wi-Fi SD card for ~ $100.

Rogue Z · 04-15-2010, 05:10 AM

you dont install Window CE...the nav already runs on that...you boot up in safe mode after you back all your files(just in case) Its a pretty dope nav unit....ppl talk crap about pioneer, but i've never had problems with it....
The wifi sd card doesnt have to be san disk...cheaper ones on ebay are like 40-50 bones. Tether your cell to use internet or on school campus...you can use the open network(neve tried this but will someday) ...
