Short version: "What are your thoughts on Valor head units?"
Long version: I'm looking for a double din HU for my '05 F-150. I have most everything else for the system and want a good double din to fill the original location. From what I've read Alpine isn't as solid as I thought, and Eclipse is a little to expensive. I've been waiting for the Clarion MAX675 for 7 months now, but am getting impatient. I know it's an oxymoron, but I'd like good ipod functionality and good sound quality. Pioneer has some good selections too. Any thoughts? I want to stay around $1,000 or less and I don't need the NAV, but I'd like to be able to add it later if I want.
The other unit I'm considering is the Pioneer AVIC-D2...thoughts? Who's got 'em cheap, but trustworthy?
I haven't heard much about Valor, but a reputable local shop carries them. I realize they sell them so they're going to say good things about them, but I'd appreciate any input you have. The one I'm considering is the DTS-660WT ValorMultimedia I'm not sure if it's a positive or negative point but the dealer said that they make the hardware for Alpine.
