why not go with a INdash screen?

I'd get the alpine for the option to go active in the future and the blue tooth...

plus it's the slickest looking

Well as far as i can read the pioneer has bluetooth as well but i just cant deside but thanks for the insite thus far, does ne one have any of these HU that could fill me Thanks

PS. I never really thought of a indash screen, and im not even sure i reall need one. However i will look into that, Thanks Netherland24

I would say its as simple as asking yourself if you want DVD playback or not.

I'm a noob too, so pardon my asking what the 'option to go active' means as well as what blue tooth would do for a deck. Thanks.

Active means you have 1 amp that runs just the tweeters and 1 amp that runs just the mids and 1 amp that runs just the woofers (subs) and the deck controls it all, and can be adjusted from the front seat that controls the slopes, crossover points and level.

yah... eventually you will want to if you end up doing this as a hobby... it offers a whole new world of car audio (and home audio)

plus it's easier than building your own passive xovers

Well i have been doing some more research and for the same price here are my Double Din choices for the new Dcab Tacoma, either the Alpine IVA-W200, Kenwood Excelon DDX-8017 or the JVC KW-AVX706, all three are nice but im leaning towards the kenwood or the JVC only b/c of the higher volt preouts and the 5.1, any insite on either unit would be great.... and if anyone has owned either one let me know what u think
