Best DVD Double Din - $500

[Beerdrnkr 5,000+ posts]

I'm hoping to get some advice and opinions between a few double dins in my price range. The Eq's on the units aren't a big concern because I'm running some external processing to go active. Here's the list:

Clarion MAX675VD

Kenwood DDX6019

Jensen VM9022

JVC KW-AVX800

SONY XAV-W1 (little bit pricier but has TA)

Thanks for the help.

Heres the best authorized price for the D3 I could find. I just ordered one from Al&Eds they shipped it the same day and I had it in 3 days. This is my second D3 I love it.

If I can find one. I would rather buy new, do you know what advantages that unit has over the other other than the H701?

if you can get the avic d3, go for it

alpine w200, kenwood ddx 6019, or 7017.

Should be able to find those units for around $500

The avic d3 is around $700 but you can find a deal on it. Just keep looking.

Looks like I will be waiting for the Panasonic CQ-VW100U to come out. I get a panasonic direct discount, $420 with free shipping. Glad I decided to check that out.

Does Panasonic make good decks? I haven't heard anything about them being really all that great.

Can't remember which model it was, but I ran a higher end panasonic deck in my s10 a few years ago and really dug it. I have a low-end panasonic deck in my ride currently, for 110 bucks it does the job and comes with a 7 band EQ. I already have the panasonic sirius tuner so it makes sense for me to stay panasonic.

While I'm not a fan of being the first to buy a new product I'll probably be giving it a shot as soon as its released.
