[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8471529, member: 614752"] Many Alpines are still dial and button, though not the "classic" layout. IMO if you get one with a remote control and get used to the controller by touch it's far more convenient all around. Like all "new" technology it just takes some getting used to. Alpine, Kenwood, Pioneer are the big 3 for solid and reliable head units. Sony, JVC, Jensen should be decent. Soundstream, Power Acoustik, dual, and any brand that nobody has ever heard of should be avoided. There's a few other brands that would fall into either decent or poor category but I haven't seen enough of them to say. DO NOT buy a low end brand HU. They really will perform terribly and fail quickly, you'll regret every minute of ownership. The better companies have plenty of selection in various price ranges. Good luck, if you find something stop back and write a review for posterity. [/QUOTE]
