Ok so ive almost defintely narrowed it down to these three headunits:
Alpine CDA-9886
http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=18771
Eclipse CD3200
http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=19778
Kenwood eXcelon X792
http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=19413
I would like to know if anyone has any recommendations of which of these to get i would like to know which has the best ipod interface although im pretty sure the alpine does then the eclipse then the kenwood but im not sure about the eclipse....And my friend has a kenwood x492 and it has a horrible ipod interface u have to scroll through all ur artists and the worst part is that the knob doesnt scroll fast at all....Im leaning toward the Eclipse but i really cant decide. They all have nice features that i like. If anyone has the 3200 and uses an ipod or usb stick or sumthing with it please let me know what the interface is like PM me of something i would like to know how fast and simple it is to scroll through and select and how well the screen displays the text etc...Also i know it doesnt make that much of a dif but the 5V preout on the eclipse is a nice feature to me as well.
I love the 9886 as well bc of the nice percentage search function which helps with the usability of the ipod and also it looks really nice and although it only has 4v preout that wont be very noticeable compared to a 5V preout
