I'm planning on getting a new head unit. I dont want to go anymore than $200 (is that too low?) I want to be able to hook up subs and an amp in the future, and overall I want it to look nice. Crutchfield has a deal where most of their headunits come with free harnesses and a free dash kit to hold the head unit. So thats where i'm looking at right now. If anyone has any recommendations on a head unit, that'd be great.

As far as features go, like I said, capabilities of control of subs, iPod hook up would be nice, and a nice interface. Are there any motorized (like when you want to put a CD in it goes down itself) head units for under 200 besides the one Dual?

Thanks in advance!

Also, has anyone heard anything about this, Blaupunkt Bahamas MP46. It looks nice and functional minus all the useless stuff.

 

that looks nice but i prefer Pioneer headunits

 

I was looking at a couple Pioneer's. Specifically the Pioneer DEH-P4800MP, Pioneer DEH-P5800MP. I really want this one, the Pioneer DEH-P6800MP. It looks real nice. But those are the Pioneers I was looking at. Basically I'm looking at a lot of stuff and trying to narrow it down.

 

For head units, I'm only pioneer

And I think someone is selling a 6800 in the black market section

 

Maybe im missing it but i only see a 9600. Good look though!

 

just get a screen and join the cluB

 

If I had the money to drop on one I would.

I'm looking at this though as well, it seems to be a pretty well made unit. Panasonic CQ-C8303U.

Does anyone have it or know anything about it? It looks pretty solid and the reviews are alright.

 

yea i got a panasonic n i have no compaints...i dont have that model but i have one with tilt....and i gotta say its one of the most awesome things for a deck without a screen

 

I have that clarion DXZ855MP, probably closest your going to get to an actual screen for a while, I can take pics tomorrow for you since I think I'm going to put my stock one back in and see if I really hate it or can live with it for a while lol, the clarion is awesome and one just sold used on ebay for $275...

 

I thought you had a 9600?

 

Thats what it was sorry

 

I prefer Alpines or Eclipse, but I have a Kenwood and I really like it. Got it through insurance and an Alpine was 2 weeks out.... Couldn't wait that long so I took the guys recommendation. He had one and put one in his wifes car, so I took that one. Its the KDC-X789 http://www.crutchfield.com/S-HI0RL3b...p?i=113KDCX789

 

Any suggestions on which one is a good buy?

Thanks.

 

alpine cda-9847

affordable, i pod ready and the whole nine yards. i wish mine never got stolen.

 

save money get get the double din.....soooo worth it!

 

^^got any pics?

 

That's something possible in the future. Right now I cant just drop 500+ for one. I'd love to but thats just not possible right now.

Does anyone have this Pioneer DEH-P6800MP or know anything about it? It looks to be really nice besides that the lights are real bright at night..

Anymore info on that or the Panasonic CQ-C8303U would be great!

Thanks.
