I was a Pioneer fan, I liked their stuff, but now I'm on Kenwood, I fricken looove Kenwood Excelon's stuff.. Kenwood has really stepped up over the years. Just MY personal opinion.

Headunit that I have in my car is a Kenwood Dual DIN + DVD.

Kenwood DDX370 DVD receiver at Crutchfield.com

it's $280 from Crutchfield... $50 more if you want Bluetooth.

:tup:

Ive had my share of head units but for the price on Ebay I have installed pioneer avic x940bt in my last 2 cars and im about to do it a third time. Its navigation integrated and i usually get them for about 450 - 500 bucks I love them! Highly recommend.

I like my Alpine 535HD
Alpine Electronics of America, Inc.

Although my main requirements were only HD radio, DVD playback and touch screen. Didn't need a GPS since I already have a standalone Garmin.

Now I kinda want to upgrade to a full touch screen unit or at least with smaller buttons so that it looks less flashy and more OEM.

i never liked HD radio as receiption isn't really all that great in my area and the signal completely cuts off (digital) vs FM radio when the signal weakens.

i run 4500BT on my car. i too have a 5" life time map nuvi that also runs my obd2 gauges. :p

TBF, I never had an issue with my old Alpine HU (just a basic CD player at the time) and the only issues I had with my Pioneer (slide-out 1DIN) was the clip to hold the removable face on broke off after a couple of years (taped it on permanent after that :icon17: ) and then a year or so ago (was in my SRT, sold it though) a tooth in the gear broke so there was some clicking.

Everything sound- & touch-screen-wise worked perfect though.

im selling my Pioneer 4500BT :hello:

see my sig below

yea i already have a 7inch garmin the 2797lmt? or something like that
so the kenwood 300U looks like its gonna fit me just right.

I need to step my game up and get a nice double din unit for my Z.. I have a very nice Kenwood Excelon in my s2000.

wat, you dont have a ddin in your Z yet? all this talk about kenwood, thought you were already a master at the Z system. :ugh:


:icon17: :p

Also great, but price gets up there...:tiphat: Got my DDX370 for $249.99 with free backup camera at CarToys last month....great deal for a double din under $250 bucks I'd say!!!

Best Bang for your buck!!! 4V preouts if you want to expand your system, Great Reviews, Fast file Search and the easiest bypass for DVD playback while driving.(just ground the parking brake)!!!

Anyone know about the pre's in the kenwood dpx500bt?

Haha.. Man, for as much as I drive my Z, its soooo not an issue. My Z is a 2010 with only 6k miles..:icon17:

I have the Kenwood Excelon DNN990HD and it is awesome. Has so many bells and whistles that probably aren't needed but I love it. They also have the 770HD as well.
