Guys...

I'm seriously considering upgrading my stock HU on MY03. I figure I would start with HU first since I want MP3 capability. I want nice unit that under $500. Oh, I also want to use the dash controls as well. (Lucid?)

Any recommendation on brand? Alpine, Sony, Kenwood?

Thanks in advance.

PS. Advice on speakers are welcome.

 

I have an Alpine 7892 that I took from my old car. I JUST put it in today with a multi-radio DCI, and it's awesome. God sound and lots of power.

Whatever ever you go with, PM DJ Qube if you want to retain the use of the stock audio control module with advanced function.

 

Thanks guys.

Now I see few HU models have pop up display. Anyone has those and would it fit on our car?

 

Go with a Clarion, Excelon Kenwood, or Alpine, just pick features you want you'll be fine.

 

Lucid,

Do you recommend a Sony HU because it has a wired remote and allows you to have full function of remote controls with the DCI..... or Alpine for example with Multi-radio dash control interface?

I just want a MP3 HU that has more power to run your rear speakers, and that I could continue to use with my 300 watt Blaupunkt amp that power my door Infinity's.

If a Sony is just as good, then I assume not having to use an IR eyeball would be a better solution?

 

Thanks for the help.
