[QUOTE="jordn613, post: 3001198, member: 576400"] I know this question gets asked daily, but I'm gonna go ahead and ask the question to help find my own perfect HU. I'm having a custom dash made for an 03 Lexus 300, which is running me 500. I've decided that in the interest of upgradeability ,its going to be a double-din, as having it custom-made to a single din would only mean that later I might have to pay for it to be modified again to allow for a double-din. My first priorities for the system are really nice sound quality (upgrading from factory unit), an aux input, and a usb input. At first I was considering some single din units that had nice color screens, but then stumbled upon some $800-1000 double-din touchscreen units that served my needs and would last awhile before I'd want to buy something new. I should note, I just graduated college,so I'm really trying to not splurge too much over the edge here. Then, I stumbled upon the brand-new Eclipse AVN2210P double din unit, and it seems like for the $800, I get a huge load of nice features, all the ones I want, and the sound quality should be near the top. Further, I'll have navi, which I planned on getting later, but may have demanded a big re-installation and fitting later. The only thing holding me back at this point is knowing that some head units would give me better sound quality at a cheaper price, with more sound-tweaking features. For at least the next year or two, I'll be using the unit with the stock factory speakers and sub. That said, will I even need a parametric eq or some of the other advanced features of a different unit anyway? I've been surprised not to see more talk here about the AVN2210P. Maybe that's because it just seems to have shipped. Below are some links to info on it, and any opinions and advice would be great. Thanks!
