Well ive been intrested in double dins for a couple of months now. i was wondering whats everyones input on a good reliable cheap double din.. i was looking at the pulse touch ALPINE IVA-W200 but jensen has a pretty good one thats cheap. so idk.

 

alpine > jensen

ebay FTW

 

eclipse avn5435

 

haha right on.. what do people think about the pioneers. there navigation is magnificant but their prices are outrages. :-(

 

I absolutely love the pioneer double din navis, price is super high though yes. Alpines are nice too or eclipse. I'm puttin an eclipse in the truck

 

OR work at a audio store or best buy or circuit city and get them discounted...like i do and i love it...but yea eclipse>alpine>pioneer>jensen....interms of overall but navi pioneer FTW

 

kenwood ddx-6019

 

i've been looking into gettin one also but i'm having trouble on deciding on a double din or a flip out....the shifter sorta blocks the double din....but yeah anyways if i were you i'd go with the pioneer AVIC-D2, they have that one where i work and i heard it was koo.....

 

oh yeah and what's up with the eclipse brand, are they like top of the line or something....the other day i went into circuit city and i forgot the model but there was one that went for almost 3 thousand i was like

 

 

which is on is better? check the links.

I'm an Alpine fan, but they're too overpriced. Rather than getting a double din, I just got their Blackbird GPS. It's pretty awesome but it's slower than some, and that thing was $700. My boyfriend has pioneer subs & amp., etc. in his Tc, but random ppl make fun @ him b.c they say Pioneer sucks. He's like me though, I love my Alpine and he loves his Pioneer. To each their own, but I'd say the Alpine...off of ebay

 

yeah i like the new pulse touch by alpine. super sweet. so im just gonna go with this one.Alpine iva-w200

 

I like the eclipse better, the specs are pretty similar though. Klepto has that same eclipse

 

eclpise ftw....still BIG fan of pioneer

 

you have to keep in mind that the pioneer does NOT play dvds. just dvd navi. also its harder to bypass, its doable, but just much harder than the eclipse. the pionner z1 on the other hand, plays DVDs, but that things bank

 

yea that is all true...

 

yea i kno i dont mind aboutt he dvds thats why i have my moded xbox

 

Well alpine i think is the best on the market right now. for all their features. and there prices are pretty fair... for the quality your getting.

 

and wish they weren't so DAMN expensive

 

Since my old Pioneer flipout dvd/tv tuner system got stolen a few months ago, ive been looking at this new pioneer double din system. my only problem with it is that i dont think double din's have detachable face security.
very high on pioneers though, never had a problem with them. In my opinion, Alpine and Pioneer would be the top 2. I dont know too much about Eclipse but from what others say, theyr pretty good also.
This is the one im thinking of getting. Very good price also http://www.parkaveelectronics.com/pr...6800DVD&l=more

This was my old system[IMG][/IMG]

 

dude thats sweet. how much did that run you... sucks u got it stolen thats my worse fear... if i get a double din im gonna tint my windows to 5% :-D

 

7500dvd? same unit i have in mine. Its a great unit because you can add the tv tuner without buying an extra piece. ALSO, if you get the pioneer, make sure you buy the AVIC-80 and buy upgraded software. Reason being is all you have to do is ground the system and everything is operable while driving. With the new N1-N3 they have the G-sensor that detects movement.

 

btw the AVIC-80 and AVIC-88 are the same identical unit. The 88 just has the new software

 

i just put in the IVA-W200 last week and so far i like it. could've had a better eq though

 

how much did u pick up the iva for? did u get a deal?

 

about $900 Canadian dollars. i'd say it's a deal, but not a GREAT deal.

i've seen them going for $1100- $1300CDN at different places

 

Link 1 FTW

 

definitly looks better, but if it can't play DVD's....then
