So its time, its almost winter and while i love my factory unit and have zero issues with it i am going to go In-Dash DVD...

I've come across three i find to fit the bill so far, but i cant make up my mind hence where i ask for personal opinions so on and so forth, they are all different price's but i do know more expensive isnt always better.. so here they are!

Alpine IVE-W535HD DVD receiver at Crutchfield.com
Kenwood Excelon DNX690HD Navigation receiver at Crutchfield.com
JVC Arsenal KW-ADV65BT DVD receiver at Crutchfield.com

Coming with the head unit would of course be the steering wheel control adapter.. If you look under the Accessory tab on any of the units it gives you four choices... what one will work best with the cobalts?

lets get it started!

 

kenwood dnn990hd

 

thats one is quite nice yes, but $1,400???? i also dont need Wi-Fi for a head unit hah

i want a volume knob also... you know those moments when you need to turn it way down quite quickly....

 

pioneer makes a nice and reasonably priced avh-4400 (i thnk thats the number)

 

1100 ebay. It's got a mute button.

 

hah i'm not liking the price... per NAV i dont need it, it would just be a fun feature to have if i do choose to use it...

 

Pionner or bustt, new models are sickk

 

I have the pioneer X2500BT

 

What does anyone know about this whole "AppRadio" jazz they got going on

 

x5500bhs here.

its the ****. plug your iphone into it and you can use apps from from your phone, like GPS, escort, dash hawk, etc., right on the screen. web browser too.

 

i no have iPhone, Galaxy Note is my current phone, Note III is a soon to be upgrade

 

You can use any iPod as well, obviously less the data function.
Can still bluetooth stream any other phone for things like Pandora.

 

If you go to the Pioneer AppRadio website there is also a list of Android phones that also work with the head unit. There is also a $35 aftermarket app called ARLiberator that gives support for all the other Android phones.

I'm waiting until I upgrade to a new Android phone that is compatible with AppRadio3 right out of the box to purchase it.

 

I wouldnt rock the AppRadio itself, just a Pioneer unit that supports advanced app mode which is what the AppRadio does.

 

i would take the kenwood then alpine then jvc

 

i got the AVH4100 7" double din , ipod cable and steering wheel controls. ******* track fucked up the cable, USB etc. really want the bluetooth unit but its too much
