Which Headunit??

[Nico Koutouzis 10+ year member]

Alright guys I am pretty much stuck on the headunits.

1) Avic-Z130BT by Pioneer

Cons: I dont know if it comes with audio and visual outputs (which I need to get rid of the annoying dvd player in the car for the three tvs already installed in the car.)

2) Kenwood DNX7180

Cons: Not big ones but in most of the categories the pioneer beats it (slim)

3) Alpine-W900 BT

cons: Only 2v for preamp outputs which is kind of a big deal.

And sonic says that the kenwood and the alpine do not have sd readers which I would like to have so that I just load my songs onto it and not even need to plug in anything everytime)

Please Let me know im leaning towards the pioneer

The Z1 comes with the A/V outputs.

I have Avic-Z2 - great unit - great navigation - bit expensive.

If you go with the Pioneer then you will want to visit this site AVIC411.com

Well it must be the best head unit ever then - have you ever used a Pioneer Avic unit?

I love when people use one thing and think it must be the best cause they liked it.

I said it was awesome...Pioneer AVIC are really nice units as well as Alpine and Eclipse...used them all in my years listening to music....why you have to act like this?...
