[QUOTE="williambmac, post: 8662873, member: 676099"] Hey guys, newbie here. I need a little help. 2005 wrangler with an alpine system. cde-hd149bt head unit mrv-f300 4 channel amp mrv-m250 mono amp 12" type r sub 5 1/4 s series speakers in sound bar infinity kapp 4x6 speakers in the dash I am looking to upgrade my HU to a double din with Apple Carplay and there are three units I am interested in, Alpine iLX-207 @ 599.00 Kenwood DMX7705S @ 399.00 (no HD radio) Kenwood Excelon DMX905S @ 529.00 the above units seem pretty comparable with the exception of the DMX7705S which does not have HD radio. I really don't care much about XM radio, looking to get rid of it, figured with carplay I would have access to Pandora, Spotify etc. Does anyone have any real world experience with any of these head units? Is there a big difference with HD radio? How about sound quality. I have always been a big fan of Alpine, but with this being a bigger $$$ investment I am considering Kenwood as an option. Thanks.
