First I wanna get this off my chest the fact that Circuit city in my area carries the worst possible product line-up for head units. When you stock 2 brands you know their's a problem. Secondly BB isn't much better like 4 choices that don't look like they will fall apart with to much use.
Well 4 years ago I got a Alpine CDA-7892. Awesome head unit, motorized since I have such a horrible viewing angle from the drivers seat. I <3 this so much but to many cds in the visor now.
I've looked some on google but keep ending up at some random place trying to sell me the <insert random featured product of the month>. I know a bit about the car stuff, and wiring it myself isn't a problem. At the moment I'm looking to replace with something that has MP3 CD /Ipod connectivity, motorized display for different viewing angles, and can pump 18~20 watts RMS. With a auxiliary output for my whittle AMP an old MTX. Oh and detachable face!
The kenwood MP828 looked like it fit the bill, but I just don't have faith in the brand. Alpine from my research no longer produces a motorized head unit in the 300-450 price range. Dual... uh no thanks. Clarion was an option but not sure on specifics DXZ665MP no built-in support for the Ipod and requires a seperate kit?
I was looking at a satellite radio option down the line. I'm not a huge car audio guy, I don't blast music but I do however like for it to sound how it should. I got a standard Din chassis to play with.
Give me options or info!
*****REWARD***** If information you provide model & hopefully a location to buy it online hell if you lead me to some helpful information that just isn't user reviews for every model under the sun you get $10USD to your Paypal account.
Cliffs
1. Retail stores suck
2. I love my alpine head unit.
3. I need to replace said head unit with something more upto date.
4. You profit $10USD if your information leads me to a purchase!
5. Help meh!
