Hitting up the stores and looking for my new system. My requirements for head unit:

1) CD-R/RW
2) DVD-R/RW (for my "vids" I have)
3) 5.8 or 7" screen.

Don't need navigation. Brand doesn't concern me, but I don't want a thousand page manual just to learn the darn thing. One store I've been to wants to sell me the Pioneer 3100. I see DivX format, but no DVD-R/RW.

Checking the threads now. Tnx guys.

 

Check out the Kenwoods w/the DDX prefix, they have dvd but no nav.

That's a nice unit, if only I could get red illumination.

 

I have the pioneer 3100 and it plays DVD-R/RW

i was about to buy that one.. but decided that the ol pioneer i have is still working too well

btw pioneer would be your best bet for what your looking for...

 

Many units now offer changing illumination colors. The Kenwoods are one of them.

 

I have the DDX 514 and so far it has been great and fairly easy to operate and kinda on the cheap too.....

 

I love my JVC KW-AVX-810. Everything I wanted in a HU. It's obsolete now, but the 820 is good also.

 

Pioneer or Kenwood. DDX 514 and AVH-P3100 are 5.8's, the AVH-P4100 is 7 inch.

 

the eagle?

 

i currently have an alpine w203 and im very happy with it, im sure its outdated by now though i had it almost a year

 

Yep, the text is set now.

 

thats about the only good station i listen to on the radio

 

Thnx for the replies guys. If all goes well, I will have a new set up in the truck within a couple months. Only a few hundred left to save. Pioneer subs, amps, Focal speakers in the doors and the head unit. We'll get it figured out.

 

i would get the JVC KW-AVX820 ... I have the 800... i bought my boy the pioneer..He wishes i would of bought one like mine..the pioneer has a crappy 3 band eq..and bunch of other crappy options compard to the jvc.. the JVC has 5 volts outs to your amp..it is just so much easyer to run and set.. and sounds better.. i don't like most JVC stuff..but there DVD head unit is hard to beat.... which Focal components are you getting ? i have the Focal KRX2's and love them.. i use to have some infinitys.. then some PPI's.. the Focals are unreal how good they sound. well worth it
