Just installed my head unit today. It's an Alpine UTE52BT Here's a pic after install, and may I say that I find it appealing. This is the old head unit next to the new one. I also ended up with some extras, and had to fabricate a ground since the stock ground strap was missing. I'm...

I'm ordering the Alpine UTE52BT right now so I can move on to other components. It should be easier to do comparatively. I don't mean to be a cheap person, but I want the most bang for the buck. If anyone has any reason that this could be the wrong choice for a budget SQ system, please speak, or...

Can you cite that finding?

Screw it, We'll go $200 on the head unit...

sigh...

http://wwv.crutchfield.com/p_500UTE52BT/Alpine-UTE-52BT.html?tp=5684 Crutchfield is out of 147 BT's, but I can get this one, it also has 24 Bit DAC. I'm going with Crutchfield for the head unit since I get a wiring harness and a dash plate for free. The price is higher, however, it works with...

@Jeffdachef: I meant simplicity in the aesthetics, and the clarion kinda takes the cake in that respect. @Jscoyne2: Got any pics of the post swap on hand, I would very much like to see how the USB in the pocket looks.

I'll be doing a project thread that will include a USB extension to the inside of the glove compartment so I can fit a capacity thumbdrive that is out of the way.

I just saw that the kenwood has 16 bit vs the 24 of the clarion, thank you for the patience. The Clarion it will be for me.

Here are the selected head units: Clarion CZ702 CD receiver at Crutchfield.com Kenwood KDC-BT362U CD receiver at Crutchfield.com

This is why I asked, I like the Clarion CZ 702 and the Kenwood KDC BT362U, so that ultimately is my final choice unless there is something used that anyone wants to throw down. From what I can tell, both have USB (Kenwood in the front, Clarion in the rear) Aux (both in front) 6 Channel outs, and...

Would it be cheaper to have a digital reciever? I have no use for a CD player... I found the Kenwood KMM-BT312U, and yes it's under $100. What sold me is the 6 channel preamp outs. It also works with my Note II via USB.

I work nights, so I will definitely be up and researching. I can even report my findings as I work tomorrow night as well...

Can we settle on $750 -$850 max?
