Pioneer or Alpine or Clarion

[tembelterazi]

Hi everyone. I am gonna buy a head unit for the first time between of those models below. For me the most important things are Apple CarPlay and touchscreen sensitivity. They all look like a similar to me, however, I guess Clarion's resolution is higher than others but I don't know about the quality of sound or touchscreen etc. Thus, please help me out to buy the best one for me. Thank you!

1) Alpine iLX-W650BT
2) Pioneer AVH-Z5250BT
3) Clarion FX-688A

Pioneer seems like the only option to me. I don’t trust Alpine and I’ve never seen a Clarion head unit in a car.

I haven’t dealt with a Clarion in years but I used to like their products. I prefer Alpine over Pioneer but I don’t think you can go wrong with either.

Clarion is still around. Maybe overseas but not in US i don't think
