Headunit Suggestions
#52
I guess instead of starting another thread, I'll just add to this existing thread for head unit suggestion.
I need my new head unit to satisfy these 4 criteria:
1) Compatible with Modifry's DCI so I can retain factory controls:
2) Minimum 1.5a of USB output, cigarette lighter is dead so this will by my only way to charge my phone
3) Factory door WILL close
4) Bluetooth
Optional: Built-in amp will be awesome
Thank you all for your time. Alpine UTE-62BT seems extremely popular, I'm just not sure if it has a 1.5a USB out port. (Crutchfield isn't too clear on that model)

Built in amp (as in more than the typical 18w x 4 RMS and requiring additional power wire) means Sony MEX-XB120BT.

Nope, looks like only that and the MEX-GS820BT and both have CD players. That said, if you're going with a 2 speaker setup the KTP-445 can be bridged to get 90W RMS per channel.

Maybe contact Alpine to see if ANY of their head units have more than 1.1 amp USB. I don't think it's sold anymore but I can tell you that the 143BT is NOT 1.1 amp. I wish it were. Based on the description of the different units on their website, I'm not too hopeful any of them are but I hope I'm wrong.
I'm a big fan of Sony's products. However, $200 is a bit steep, especially if it that price has a feature built-in that I will not use, ever (CD Player).
But if I need to compromise, I guess I will have to.

How about the very popular UTE62BT? I have a hard time hunting down the exact power output on the USB port. Thank you.

Says 1A in the Details tab.
Edit: Kenwood KMM-BT322U meets your criteria and doesn't have a CD player and runs cheaper than the UTE62BT. Haven't used it myself (only much earlier Kenwood products).
