i have a lexus with integrated nav. ive always used an mtx req5 loc/processor, but now im thinking about upgrading to the 3sixty.3, but for about the same price i can convert to double din.
what you guys think would be better. i cant quite make up my mind
If you don't care for the stock look go for it,you can always get a HU with nav
Depends on what you want out of your system. I would go with the RF if you're going with a crazy SQ setup, 3way fronts and the works.
i do like the stock look better than the look of a double din (at least the way they lookin my car, from what ive seen) but i think im trying to achieve better sound at this point. idk if getting sound from stock stereo/amp is cutting it anymore.Quote:

as mentioned above- im looking for good sound. all these years ive ownedthe mtx req5, and just taking the signal from the stock amp, ive felt like i could be getting more/better sound if i had a head unit. which is why now im not so sure if the 3sixty.3 would compare in sq/output as a headunit, since with the 3sixty id be doing essentially the same thing as im doing now- getting my signals from stock radioQuote:

with the RF you do get time alignment, I don't know how much you value that feature
the RF unit will provide fantastic possibilities for improving your soundstage and overall quality, especially if you're good at tuning.
never have used time alignmentQuote:
