Got the DVD player and threw it in real quick. WOW!!!!! this unit is bad ass. It has a great U/I and tons of features. Soooo much easier to navigate through the functions than I anticipated. I dare say it is as easy to use as the Clarions I have rocked in the past. Sound quality is top notch and adjust-ability is second to none. My only negative remark on this is the usb takes a helluva lot longer to read than any of the previous head units I have used. Whether it be a multimedia or reg cd player. A slight issue that Im so far willing to overlook.

Dont ask for pics yet as its not "installed" per say. It's just sitting there for now till I get the rest of the interior/stereo done.

I had a top of the line Pioneer deck in my old blue BMW, and its user interface was WAY better then the kenwood I have in my car now... the kenwood interface pretty much sucks compared to the pioneer. I'm sure you can atest to this too wes, as you've had both as well.

Right now, the best bang for the buck is one of the following (each for different reasons):

Pioneer
Clarion
JVC

hey chuck i am finally getting my car done and looking for a head unit. I need a DVD player w/o screen with 2 preouts for amps and a video out for a different screen. I am not sure if pioneer has one like this. I have seen an alpine one i like but i have always ran a pioneer unit. Thanks

[Trafik Jamz]

Yeah, they all have the features you want. Weshole has access to Alpine/Clarion/JVC/Kenwood/Eclipse/Pioneer....he is using Pioneer in his car for a reason.

[mybadga]

well which one and model number would you recommend for me to look at and some prices? Let me know thanks i would like to stick with pioneer i believe

[Trafik Jamz]

Jared, the one list above is $489. AVH-P4200 is the one I'd recommend, primarily because they have a full size screen, and the ability to add navi later if you want....and they have high output RCA's.

[amicheze]

What about a shallow mount? I was kind of thinking about something like a TS-SW251 or even a TS-SWX310. Is the price on their site about the same as your price?

[Trafik Jamz]

No, I can beat their pricing quite easily. PM Sent.

[darkelvis]

PM price on the AVH-P4200, onstar/door chime module, the steering wheel control module (lets me keep my steering controls functional), and install kit for an 03 hummer h2....also what goes into turning "nav ready" into "nav"? Ever installed the onstar/chime module and steering control module in a GM truck (aka..know how to do it?)?

[Trafik Jamz]

PM Being sent.

And yeah, I've done the onstar/chime thing. Very easy to do, it just plugs in. Steering wheel volume control/track control/etc... is pretty straight forward too.

To convert a nav-ready piece to a navigation piece you need AVIC-U220. I don't have pricing on this unit yet however.

What do you have to offer in the 200-300 dollar range, ipod ready, flip face, cd player, single din, looks cool lol. Possibly would be interested in a single din flip up dvd player if the price is right. Pioneer preferred.

[Trafik Jamz]

I'm not sure what exactly you were asking? Was there 2 pieces you'd consider w/ one being a single din CD player and the other a single din flip-out DVD player? If so, I will look into the CD player option for you and send you a PM.

As for the DVD flip out:

$200 to $300 for Pioneer flip up dvd players won't fit that range at all, you are looking at nearly twice that much for their flip out unit.

Hey Chuck don't waste a lot of time on this, its dependant upon me getting a promotion I'm going for that would require a lot of travel to major cities. But could you get a DVD/nav unit in the stock location on my Impala, its a double DIN, make it look factory and work with the steering wheel controls, and Bluetooth? Not so worried about cost, I'm guessing around a grand, just if its possible.

[Trafik Jamz]

Yes I can do that, and that price is probably pretty close to what it will cost to do it as well.
