Default A few more H.U. Questions and help...

I was looking at a few H.U. but with the s2k stereo spacing, I wasn't sure if the motorized faces would work?

Also...anybody have experience with:

PIONEER DEH-P8400MP
ALPINE CDA 7998
SONY MEX-5DI
KENWOOD KDC-X959

Thanks!

I never had one personally, but I have heard the Fantom-Face technology on the Alpine 7998 does not work well with the radio door of the S2000. It will open up correctly with the door open, but if you turn the radio on with the radio door closed, The face will try to come out and hit the radio door, breaking the motor mechanism in the head unit. I recommend the 7995 or similar instead.

DJ Qube, thanks for the info. Do you know anything about the Pioneer unit then since it folds down and out to expose the inner display and CD entry?

Out of THAT list Kenwood is the only one that will work with your dash controls (sony won't) and not bump anything or require a special kind of installation.

Besides those are all 2002 models, look into 2003 if you're buying now.

I can get your dash controls to work with any head unit with a remote, including the four in your list. You can click my sig if you're interested.

Lucid...those are '02 models? I found them on the manufacturer's websites so I thought they were new? When would they post the '03 models then?

DJ Qube...thanks for your help...I will ldefinitely ook into that option.
