In need of a graphic head unit

I was wanting to get the orgs opinion on this I have been shoping around for a good headunit that has graphics. I was thinking on a Panasonic but i was told by several people that they break down constantly, any ways I am all ears for some suggestions i want the graphics to be blue and nothing over 500 bucks thanks guys.

Check out JVC headunits. You can load your choice of graphics onto them with their PiCT system.

Pioneer 8600 is cheaper than 9600 and both have customisable screensavers, pics, slideshows. You can get an 8600 in the 300s on e-bay. Panasonic has customizable screens but they're blue. Pioneer has more colors.

i have the pioneer 7600 brand new for sale: $220 shipped...

TPDuke112: Hahah,...4 year warranty is definitly worth it.Wanna mess it up and make it not look like your fault...get a cd you dont like,put it in the cd player,press eject like 5 times and hold your thumb over the opening so the cd cant come out,then it will get stuck in there.

DEHP7600MP PION MP3 ORGANIC W/REMOTE 210.00
DEHP8600MP PIONEER MP-3 DUAL DISPLAY 342.00

thats wholesale list so look for it to be in that area or so. $305 is defiinitely a good price. Youll be happy with any of them

the following are the only differences between the 8600 and the 860:
1. 860 has PRO mode
"PRO Mode allows a 3-way configuration of High / Mid / Sub rather than the typical Front / Rear / Sub. This is ideal for advanced systems that are bi-amplifying the front component speakers for improved sound quality and performance, and not using rear speakers."
2. 860 preout voltage is 6.5v compared to 4v for the 8600.
3. 860 warranty is 2 years

the differences between the 7600 and the 760 are that the 760 has ASL, wheels remote control, and 2 year warranty.

I just bought a kdc-mp925. I like kenwoods becuase they have so many options to adjust the audio. It has pretty good graphics, 5v preouts, radio data service which is phat! and i got it $200 on close out at frys! It would go for that for the price. If you want to spend 500 bucks, go buy an eclipse. If you want graphics, the 9600 is the most bling in the graphics, but pioneer is kinda simple for the SQ. Doesn't it have like 3 different EQ's and each have like the basic 6 settings?

I have a 13 band equalizer on my pioneer 8600. Plus a microphone that tunes the hu to the acoustics of my car. On my Kenwood KDC-422 it had the basic 6 settings.
