Hey guys

Wanted to see who has recently bought a new headunit for their car? And how happy everyone is?...I am looking to buy a new one and I am looking for some suggestions...Thanks in Advance

 

I installed a Pioneer DEH-P5500MP on my car last Thursday. Overall I am happy with the purchase. I need to learn the new HU. It has so many settings to choose from.

 

There isn't a better radio than the Alpine radios. They have the ability to be set up better than anything else. Time correction is what it is all about. XM radio added to it is a must.

 

Eclipse, only Eclipse for me...

I figured go with the alpine HU...My buddy just bought one and it works really nice...Only thing is it was expensive as *****...Anyone know where we can get good deals online for Alpine?

 

Which one ya like?

--Don

 

I really like the new Alpine 9815. I'm gonna get one pretty soon


Don, how much?

 

off the top of my head ..about 425.

Are you a dealer? My buddy who bought his is on his way over...Ill get the model # and let you know..Thanks..I believe its the highest model with the green dials...

 

Yes I am.

I just got a Panasonic CQ-DF903U. I can say it's OK. In comparison, I recently hooked up a Alpine 9807 and a Kenwood Excelon KDC-X659 for friends. I like both of those better.

 

i just installed the alpine 9807 today. i think it's good

 

Don???

The model # of the HU in the alpine 9813...Has green dials with the silver little wheel...Got a price for me???Thx

 

Same here and I absolutely love mine. It plays MP3's and is XM ready. My subs sound so much better now that they have their own dedicated output instead of that PAC adapter. I would highly recommend this HU and its under $200 on e-Bay.

 

My antenna comes up when I am listening to a CD.

Does yours do that too? I'm not sure if it's normal for the HU to that that or I was given an incorrect antenna adapter.

 

Welcome to the retarded world of Pioneer and other HU manufacturers who are too lazy/cheep to put in an additional wire for the power antenna.

 

I put my own headunit in and just left the antenna wire disconnected. I will eventually put a switch on the antenna so I can put it up when I want to. Otherwise it will come up anytime the headunit is on.

 

Kenwood X959 for me:

 

OK, thanks for clarifying things for me.

Will the life of the antenna motor be reduced since it comes up and down ALOT more often?

 

Not enough for you to notice.

 

Whats the going rate for ***** these days? Any good deals on them. LOL
