Single DIN... anyone?

Is anyone using a single DIN head unit? If so, what type of dash kit and pocket did you use?

I'm leaning towards a single din audio solution, as the Touchscreen interfaces on the major vendors don't seem quite polished yet, not as snappy as classic receivers and I actually prefer my eyes on the road .


bigaudiofanat:

Is there any dash kit that includes ports for USB/AUX on the space under the radio or will I have to employ my dremmel hopping I don't make a mess.

Any opinions on the Kenwood Excelon KDC-X994?

^^ Not really sure, I'm getting the Alpine installed in about 2 weeks. Front using it before it's really nice. I've always been a fan of Alpine stuff though so I'm partial.
