Pioneer makes a nice entry level dvd, double din, p4000dvd.

If you want something a little more feature rich, see if you can find an Alpine w505. Lots of options out there. Just stay with a trusted name and you should be fine.

Kenwood 512 or 712 or Pioneer 4000

dej1001 · 08-13-2008, 10:19 PM

If you plan on adding multiple amps the Pioneer 4000 and the Kenwood 512 only have two RCA outputs and very low voltage

Jensen and Phase Linear (branch of Jensen) arent bad units, if you arent planning to bypass it for DVD playback while driving, then its a PITA. I installed a few of them, and had one on display at my old shop, always had problems with the bypass.

double din brands id look at for quality: alpine, eclipse, pioneer, and panasonic.

i personally have a panasonic double din i got from woofersetc and its a great h.u. for under 500.

jwood562 · 08-14-2008, 01:02 AM

I just got my Kenwood 5120 installed today and love. I am still working out all the features.

I wanted a double din, with navi and bluetooth option and ipod control and got it all with this unit. i think the 512 unit is the same without navi so you might want to check into that.

got it on ebay for $600 shipped and i think the 512 unit is 400 ish

I disagree. Ive done at least one dozen units within the past year and havent had a single problem.

For the money, theyre really not bad.

But as most others suggested, Id stay with more of a name brand.

jshak07 · 08-17-2008, 11:33 AM

got a pioneer p4000 on its way now!! any installation tips for wen i throw it in? to bypass do you just ground it out?

stupid n00b · 08-17-2008, 06:16 PM

most of the newer pioneers need a toggle switch, not just straight ground.

actually no, you can just relay off the remote out so it doesnt see a ground all the time

Clarion makes a nice double din, i have one in my s10

bandguy2134 · 08-26-2008, 01:24 AM

Im a fan of the Pioneer Avic D3 and then new F series ones are pretty sweet too. Nav, DvD (only with the 900), and voice activation ipod. If your wanting to do a full system though like 4 chan and mono block you wont get to good of performance with those. I know jvc makes a single din video unit for about 499 with 3 pair of 5 volt rca pre-outs
