Head unit suggestion help!
 

Hi Guys,

I've been seeing alot of posts that members favoring the pioneer.
what players do you guys suggest?

i know they coming out with new ones.

i am interested in

-compatible back up camera
-being able to not loose my steering wheel button functionality.

can you guys help suggest a really good player??

Alpine and Kenwood, followed by Pioneer, would by my top 3 choices.

Alpine INA-W900 head unit
Alpine HCE-C117D back up cam

how about the Pioneer AVIC-X930BT??

any specific model ?

I just agonized over this decision. I wanted the Kenwood because of Garmin Navigation, but I went down and played with the units, and the lag would have driven me nuts. Decided on the Alpine INA-W910BT. Lightning fast response, clean, easy interface. Excellent audio...

How about the pioneer? I saw the alpine on YouTube. Seems to have not much of an attractive interface and the price on amazon is more expensive. $700 +

That may be, but it is FAST very very fast compared to the other brands.

I would take alpine over kenwood and kenwood over pioneer.

Thinking about it, Thea lag would be a big issue. Would I be able to hook up to my wheel buttons?

Played with the Pioneer too. Absolutely did not like it. That's just my personal opinion...

My installer is hooking up my Alpine W910 to my steering wheel controls with the Metra Axxess harness

How's the metro axxess harness?

I am gonna wait untill April for the updated kenwoods to be out as I like the interface best. The supposedly changed the prosessors so make it much faster( apparently its at least 3 times faster).

Thats what i was told as well, and they seemed very quick at CES last week. a few very cool new features also.

Was thinking of buying the Pioneer AVH-P4300DVD 7" In-Dash Double-DIN player. Looks great! With a good price below 400

I recently went through the same decision. Price was important to me and so was a reliable GPS and a good quick interface. I got the pioneer avic-x930bt and am happy with it!

if price wasnt an issue, i would have gone with the alpine or a new kenwood.

Kenwood has a couple double din 8" coming out...maybe worth a wait.

Not to mention support android.

Opinions are like a$$holes: everybody's got one. Personally, I have the Pioneer 920BT and I love it.

Was thinking of the 930BT. But I live in Guam. I don't need navigation. So I was thinking of getting the Pioneer AVH-P4300DVD. It looks great! And 200 bucks cheaper.

I'm in the same boat as you. I'm not looking to spend a ton and I don't really need nav, BT, or HD radio. If you can wait a few weeks, Pioneer has several new 2012 models coming out that you might be interested in. Follow this link and filter by Pioneer to see them. The AVH-P2400BT is at a nice price point and I really like how clean the SPH-DA01 looks. Hope this helps!!

Double Din Receivers at Abt

If you want a bigger touchscreen and are on a budget, I doubt there's better value than the P4300
