[GAM3OVR 5,000+ posts]

Okay, so I'm selling my car and buying an 05 Legacy GT.

And I'm going to sell my pioneer in-dash and get a double Din.

I care not for GPS.

3 Pre-outs for sure.

I-pod (most of em have it)

I'd like it to have a nice GUI

Color adaptive.

Easy to do bypass switch (no accelerometer sensors)

I was looking at the Alpine IVA-W505:

Looks really Cool.

Anybody else have any suggestions?

I bought a 505 of on sson22s and I like it. I had a kenwood single din before and kinda miss it. Kenwood had more features to control subs and door speakers, seperately.

I would buy it, The kenwood had engine whine, the alpine is very quite.

The alpine looks like it has better EQ and time correction and etc....

No?

Would you be interested in selling it later on? (say in like a month or so?)

Hey d-rew

I have had bad luck with kenwood before in terms of their H/U's overheating. This made me not like kenwood much.

How are those in-dashes?

my 6019 is ok havent had any issues with it yet im thinking of selling it for the 712. my only problem with the 6019 is the ipod feature its really s hity.

but that 505 is defeatly sick for sure.

I just like Alpine's way of use of operation on everything.

It seems to be more user friendly then anything else.

I love my Kenwood 812. So far I haven't had any problems and their are still functions that I haven't even used yet.

That sucks. Maybe you should make use of money spent.

I've got a pioneer AVH5900-DVD And It's way cool but the GUI is very simple and frankly boring. The Ipod Control isn't very sufisticated. There are about 3-4 features that I really don't like. Plus as I mentioned I would not need the GPS.

I'm looking for a higher quality Unit with a funner GUI, easier to use, and a few more EQ options.

That doesn't even have 1/2 the features of the new alpine I had mentioned.

But thanks for the input.

Yeah, you are right. I just bought it because of the EQ and bluetooth......LOL

Well bluetooth is nice //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
