Headunit Advice

Alright guys so im looking to replace my headunit now, one feature I deff want is Bluetooth, so im looking at these two units...

Sony MEX-BT5000
http://www.crutchfield.com/S-2nXzvYE...0&i=158MEXBT50

Pioneer DEH-P9800BT
http://www.crutchfield.com/S-TaBFQrI...0&I=130DEHP980

Which do you think is better? And if you know of any other headunit with bluetooth that might be better post that as well please.

My vote if for the Pioneer, I have had several Pioneer decks, and they have been nothing but quality products. Then again, Sony isn't that bad either, but I would choose the Pioneer.

Happy Hunting.

Alpine.

I try not to touch anything that is sold in Walmart, but then again I could be an elitist when it comes to Alpine.

BTW Sony sucks *****, I had a Sony system before my Kicker system and all I heard from it was DIRTY BASS.

I'd say Alpine too, but i've found that their new line of decks are junk...
Go with the Pioneer...

Ok, Alpine does have a standalone AI-Net BT module, BUT it runs ~$175 so in that case I would have to say just go with the Pioneer.

Also I have the Alpine CDA-9847, but I did have the 9856 for 4 days before it got stolen out of my Neon, but while I had that HU I liked it mainly for the Increased speed of the iPod interface(The KCA420i is SLOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWW)

What a bulky adapter, the Pioneer is just so much sleeker, and for 360 on amazon, what a great deal
