Need suggestions for Nismo replacement HU and camera

Nismo221 · 10-17-2010, 02:28 PM

Need suggestions for Nismo Head Unit and camera.
What I'm looking for
Id like a HU that has Red or Orange LED lights, Lights that I can change would be nice! Touch screen would be pretty sweet too!
With the camera a back up is a must so need make suggestions. The car width lines seem useful. Id also if possible would like a nose camera, to help prevent running up on curbs when parking. But id like it to be hidden.
Also I will be installing a Viper alarm system, idk if that matters on the HU or not.
Any helpful suggestions are welcome and pics of installs would be nice!

All double dins pretty much can be changed, I like the kenwoods, all are touch screen and all can do reverse camera.

What is your budget? I recommend the 6160

Budget is endless, only the best for may car.

I would recommend getting an alpine than for one they are great but the nav is a bit older looking but there audio quality is the best and not many people have done them because of their price. I love them.

I recently installed a Pioneer x920bt. I love it but honestly if I could do the whole thing over again I would probably go with the Kenwood 6160 or the 6960. I really miss having a volume knob. The Garmin GPS in my opinion is the best nav for the double dins as the Phone interface lets you text message. My pioneer doesnt allow me to do that unfortunately...

thx, anyone know a good model back up camera that projects the back up lines on the HU?

The Alpine W900BT actually has the lines as an option that you can turn on and off. From what I've found, it seems like the cheaper lower end camera are the ones that had those guide lines built in... I liked the W900BT a lot but it was a bit more expensive, required a separate piece to do the bypass and the bluetooth and I was not really a big fan of the Nav... The boot up time was incredibly fast though and the sound quality is top notch.. It's tough trying to pick out a head unto because they all have major strengths and major weaknesses..
