Hey,

That Clarion is a good model. Its funny since another member found this:

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/JVC+-+50W+x+4+MOSFET+In-Dash+CD+Deck+with+Detachable+Faceplate/9205086.p?id=1218057761867&skuId=9205086

and its still under $100. However, the Clarion CZ109 does come in 3 different colours, and has stalk control which is a bonus if you decide to integrate it with your steering wheel controls with a stalk adapter.

The 3 colours are:

CZ109E (Blue illumination)

CZ109EG (Green illumination)

CZ109ER (Red illumination)

Its functions are basic, similar to JVC, the main difference being, 1 has a remote, and the other has steering wheel controls capability.

Both are recommendable units and for that bargain price, I'd go for the remote personally over the steering wheel controls primarily because of the cost of a stalk adapter, which, over here, costs alot!

Go for it man:greedy:

Hey Chaos1187, yeah, that is true, but you can always get a good HU for a good price too, sure, missing some USB, bluetooth, SD, etc features but can't complain! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif

True true, okay well then I reccomend buying a used one from someone here online, you may be able to find something decent and with features. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
