Double Dins

[whitedragon551 5,000+ posts]

Im thinking I may not run an active system in my SUV and just go with something decent, but not over the top. I want to run a touch screen double din and Im looking to stay around $250 for the DD. I would like BT built in and iPod. USB/Aux isnt necessary. XM built in would be a plus as would 4v preouts, but again not necessary. Obviously I dont mind buying used either as long as its mint condition.

Having never had a double din what companies should I look towards? Sony seems to have some decent ones as does JVC and Clarion.

What brands/models should I look at? Going for best budget SQ possible.

I would do Pioneer over all three brands you just listed, at least with newer models. The audio side does not suffer to the same extent as most other brands DDs
