I voted 'Other" cause I am using 'ATOTO'. Which is only $249. But that is the Best Android radio I've used so far!Even better than my last "Pioneer " You guys deserve to try this awesome product: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075W9GMPF
except android units are sh*t for car audio. They are nice for normal people, I installed one for my friend but complete junk for audio enthusiasts

 
I always had /////ALPINE but switched to Kenwood a couple years ago only because I didn't like /////ALPINE's integrated navigation and I'm old/stubborn and won't give up a CD/DVD transport. /////ALPINE still has the best SQ and GUI, but in this case, Kenwood fit the bill. I still use PDX amps and Type-X Pros for the rest of my system.

 
I have had a few Pioneers. 2400Bt, a 2500BT, and now a 501EX. I stuck with them for awhile because if I felt like upgrading for several years all I had to do was pop the dash open, unplug one unit, and plug in another. I'd usually pick up an older model on its way out to get whatever features I didn't currently have that I decided I wanted. This last time I found out once I had the dash open that they changed the shape of the power plug at some point so I had to run back out to get a harness and make all the connections. No big deal, I went ahead since I was already committed and had everything un boxed. But I might have taken my time and looked at other head units if I knew ahead of time it was no longer a simple plug and play swap.

Regardless, the Pioneers always seem to pack a little bit more features for the money than the other manufacturers. I just wish their hard buttons were as user friendly as everybody else's.
