I need a new headunit!
- Thread starter Big Wang Bandit
- Start date
I have this... (it's actually light grey colour, at least mine is) But it costed here ... ummm 650$
For it's possiblilities versus price, it kinda sucks, but happens, what's bought, that's bought at least it looks nice.
Stop changin your name you freak! :biglaugh:
Anyway, I want to expand on what I said about USB. I had a USB input on my Kenwood. I loved it! I first used a thumb drive on it, you can get a 4g one for pretty cheap now, but I wanted more storage so I got a 20gb portable hard drive. It took longer to index but once it did I had my entire music collection at my finger tips. The kenwood software made voice cues for eveything when you "eject" the drive from the software. This allowed me to browse playlists, folders, artists, and genre from the remote without having to take my eyes off the road. All of that combined is what, imho, made the ipoo obsolete.
If you dont like kenwood Im sure other makers have a similiar arrangement.
(Also, I only paid $99 bucks for my headunit, bnib. A steal if you ask me)

if you want ipod ready just get a $200 alpine, comes with remote that works with ipod and its mp3 aac wma and all that flashy shit for 200, I got it and love it. can't go wrong for the price.
between the model 9883 and 9885 its mainly the face plate difference. theres other reasons but nothing too different. I got last years 9883 model its all black and looks sick and performs well.

It has to be ipod compatible. I love my ipod to much.
I'm leaning twords the 9885 now just because the display is cleaner

Depending on the prices is all that will decide.

my deck was $200 plus tax, the 9885 is $299.99
http://www.crutchfield.com/ has always been cool.
thats the only good online place I know of. I mean if I can't find a deck at best buy or something then its the local car audio shops I go after. hell those places is where you get the discounts, cash money talks fast you know.

Thanks, right now i have a kenwood head unit, nothing special but i want to get another one and it will be plug and play so i dont have to rewired my stereo harness.
I have Pioneer FH-P5000MP (CD/MP3/WAV/WMA/Cassette). Love it, bought it for $200 more than 2 years ago, has 3 preamp outputs and dedicated sub. I connect my Ipod right to it (the adapter for pioneer was $100, not sure how much now) but I couldn't be happier with the unit. Eclipse units are probably some of the best you can buy, but their higher end stuff not the cheap CD players. if you haven't made up your mind yet or trying to decide between few units post them up and i am sure most on here will chime in and voice opinions.
