Ready for a new head unit.

tommyguns · 08-21-2012, 03:38 PM

Hi folks,
I’m getting ready to purchase a new head unit, the 2 that I'm looking at are the
Amazon.com: Kenwood DDX-719 In-Dash Double-DIN 6.95" WVGA DVD Receiver: Electronics or the Amazon.com: Pioneer AVH-P4400BH 2-DIN Multimedia DVD Receiver with 7" Widescreen Touch Panel Display, Built-In Bluetooth, and HD Radio™ Tuner: Car Electronics http://www.woofersetc.com/p-10122-xa...-receiver.aspx
Your thoughts would be appreciated.
Regards,
Tom
Side note would be that I would not want to go higher than $600.00, must be 7" screen and no knobs. GPS would be a bonus but not mandatory.

You can also check out the DDX419 smaller screen smaller price.
But 719 is a nice one.

Both are nice, it depends on what you like and want in a head unit.

I would go with the kenwood myself.

Yep I was thinking the same thing. Big do you still offer the harness you were making for a plug and play install.

Well I thought about what you wrote and had a chance to sit back and think about what I want out of the unit. So after re-thinking things I come to realize that I would like to step into the current and go with the Pioneer APPRADIO 2. It's compatible with my phone, so with that being said I will get more bang for my buck. Any thoughts or experiences would be appreciated.
Regards,
Tom

So I woke up this morning and received an email from buy.com and on the home page is the Pioneer SPH-DA100 for 379.00.
So I decided to take a ride to BestBuy just on a whim, they didn't show it on the website but I figured what the heck. Well sure enough they have it, for $499.00. So I ask the salesman if they price match and he says yes I just need to see the ad. So we log onto Buy.com, I show him the price, he heads off to his manager. He comes back and say's OK. WOW I was shocked this never goes good for me, I never thought that they would match that price. It gets better, the app connectivity kit that sells for $100.00 well it comes up FREE. So I don't know if all the stars where in alignment last night or what but you can bet I'm

in the streets.
