Current good double din nav units
Hello all, i have ordered a new car and I will need a new double din nav unit
I would like:
Nav
XM
Android Compat
I normally buy Eclipse but they are now dead
The Pioneer Appradio looks good but it seems it sucks without a phone hooked up and no XM
Who has good/easy to use nav nowadays?
Any cool features?

Maybe the DNN770HD?
How are the Alpine units?
As far as the rest of the setup:
Morel Maximo components up front(this i am not set on, want a good set under 200 lemme know!)
some Pioneer 6x9 fillers in the rear
PPI P900.4 amp
12guage wire/raammat damping/and thas about it
I have a 2014 Challenger RT on the way
i work at Chrysler now so it was the only car with a manual i wanted

I bet I could make that work.
When you're ready to pull the trigger, we can talk.
I don't like to jump on someone elses thread like this, but I saw little point in making a new thread. What would you guys recommend for a double din with:
-AUX in
-GPS
-Bluetooth hands-free phone operation (not necessary but would like it)

So i think ima get a Kenwood unit
either the DNX890HD or the DNN990HD.
****s up my budget but thats okay
no rear fillers
im thinking 500 for the components and amp? im sure i can find a good used 2channel amp for pretty cheap - so most of the money can go towards some mid-high end 2way(not sure i have the skills to tune a 3way) components. i believe an 8in mid fits in the door as well
what are some options?

I think my DNX9990HD is pending a sale, but that woulda definitely saved ya some coin. Both are great units, but if you're not gonna utilize the WiFi much then the 890 might be a better option.
I am sure something in Focal or Helix should fit that budget.

There are some differences, but not a tremendous amount. I was only offering mine up since you could have had a good bit of warranty left on it.
Yea, pretty simple.

Arc Audio 6000's any good? Pretty cheap set on ebay right now
vs. Focal (which one? i see too many and they are confusing
)
vs. CDT HD62
vs. ?
i'll start searching for a used 2 channel amp as well. Prob ~75-125x2 rms 4ohm - that way ill really know what i will have for speaker/hu budget

Good point. prob get some focals from you 
As for as the amp tho, i think i want an old school amp. there is a PPI art series A600.2 nearby that i might go check out
Also a ZED/US Acoustics one (maxima is running one, works great)

I got a new amp, Diamond D300.4
4-channel car amplifier
50 watts RMS x 4 at 4 ohms (75 watts RMS x 4 at 2 ohms)
150 watts RMS x 2 bridged output at 4 ohms (4-ohm stable in bridged mode)
separate variable high- and low-pass filters (50-250 Hz, 12 dB/octave) on front and rear channels
separate variable bass boosts (0-12 dB at 50 Hz) on front and rear channels
focused mass heatsink improves cooling
Class AB amp technology
PWM MOSFET switching power supply
frequency response: 20-20,000 Hz
nickel-plated, low-resistance connectors
speaker-level and preamp inputs
preamp outputs
fuse rating: 20A x 2
4-gauge power and ground leads recommended — wiring and hardware not included with amplifier
i can run it bridged for the fronts? seems like it will be good for that purpose

300 doesnt seem too much for an amp if im only running the fronts?

Yea, $300 is silly for just front (the most important) drivers in your car. I only use one of these for my mid/tweeter: http://www.braxhifi.com/products/pro...tem_id=142173#

I never said you would have to pay that amount. Do you really think I, of all people, would send you to an etailer hack for buying goods ?

i want to flush mount some usb ports and an 3.5mm port
it see that for a singular 3.5
Amazon.com: USB & 3.5mm AUX extension Flush Mount 2 Meter Cable , 1/8 AUX Car Bike Boat Motercycle Lead By Xtenzi: Electronics
combo usb and 3.5
but it's kinda big

i want to install the ports in the 2 dash peices next to the radio. so i want to mount them flush on there - the aux one seems easy but i cant find any good looking usb ports that will fit there
i only see 25mm ones
