Damian1985 Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 Hi everyone, as per the title really, what does anyone regard to be the best 2DIN headunit? I would want touchscreen and perhaps nav. not bothered about bluetooth or anything like that. I've neen lookin at car audio centre but there's so many different ones I just don't have a clue! so fire away, not lookin to spend ridiculous money, I've seen some for like £1100+ which I'm not willing to spend, but up to a point money is no object. Thanks guys and gals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harwood Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 The pioneer 3200BT is an amazing unit, and only retails at £400ish, also the 3300bt has just come out at around the same price point (no more or less features), maybe a little cheaper, but it does mean the 3200bt will be out there second hand for a lot less!

Tr1cksta Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 JVC KW-NX7000 I have the AVX810 model (no sat nav) & it's a great headunit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CelicaBen190 Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 Sony XAV-W1, just so it worked with the sony toys the celica came with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damian1985 Posted May 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 Cheers for the replies people, I do quite like the look of the Pioneer ones. Has anyone got a pic of those in a Gen 7 as I would want it to be a nice fitment, I have seen a couple on here that need a lot of work to make em look like a flush fit. How does your JVC fit Tricksta? as the model you recomended looks very nice too. Hmm decisions decisions :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harwood Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 Not the best picture but you get the idea. That is fitted using the standard headunit/fascia panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damian1985 Posted May 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 Cheers mate, that looks a damn good fitment. Think it will prob be the one I go for based on that pic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tr1cksta Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 How does your JVC fit Tricksta? as the model you recomended looks very nice too. Hmm decisions decisions :rolleyes: The jvc brackets need bending so that it will sit further back & flush with the console, but it wasnt a hard job to do at all. They basically sit like this I have the Toyota infills for the sides, which do work, but don't give the best finish. I do have a proper full Toyota surround to put in place of the infills, which should make the finish look much better.......I just haven't got round to it yet.

Harwood Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 The brackets off the standard head unit will fit most aftermarket head units Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris CW Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 (edited) Theres the JVC AVX820 and AVX830 too and now the new KW-AVX840... this should lower the price of the previous models Edited May 9, 2011 by Chris CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damian1985 Posted May 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Cheers for the pics and info guys, the Pioneer and JVC both look really good, aarrgh I hate decisions. lol. Not really sure if I should bother with sat nav, as I wouldn't really use it that much. But we have just got the new Yaris T spirit which comes with touchscreen nav/radio and the nav is pretty cool so can't let my celica have less features than a yaris now can I :rolleyes: Will have to see how much the bank says I can spend> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyper-wrap Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Hate to say this, but the Pioneer is the better choice. They put FAR more money into R&D and in 90% of cases it shows through user experience and longevity of the unit.

Monkey_matt Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Pioneer for the win, i know mines a G6, but have the Pioneer AVH-P4100DVD and cannot fault it!!! and can do custom wallpapers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyper-wrap Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 What's the security like on double din head units? Is the front removeable or anything? I'd be massively paranoid about chancers having a go at nicking it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey_matt Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 the front isn't removable on mine, but with the G6 you'd have a hard chance stealing it, its bolted to the car and needs most the trim taking off to get to it, lol Not sure about the 7, some have removable front thos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyper-wrap Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Aye, get what you're saying about the chassis it's sat in. Just the chancers make me a bit nervous!! Also, I'd not bother getting one without Sat Nav, seems like an absolutely essential part to a double din if you ask me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tr1cksta Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 The double dins in the 7 fasten into the frame, which is bolted to the console chassis. Whole centre console needs to come off to fit/remove (hence why I've not changed the infills for the surround yet) The jvc units are definitley top quality & i believe the fascia screen is removable on all the avx & nx ranges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Custom Ice Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 Poineer, good kit, but i don't get what's wrong with CDJs! I know 'em inside out, literally (used to repair them) Kenwood is worth looking at as a brand, good quality, decent features and normally well priced.

Damian1985 Posted May 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 Well, I am quite tempted by this one, I'm pretty sure I'm going Pioneer now so its either this one or the 3200BT/3300BT with extra nav, but this one has it all built in. so guess I will have to find some pennies. :rolleyes: http://www.caraudiocentre.co.uk/product_m-pioneer-avic-f910bt_p-24795.htm Any opinions gratefully received!

I know 'em inside out, literally (used to repair them) Kenwood is worth looking at as a brand, good quality, decent features and normally well priced. Made with left over bits of washing machines and sold at an EXTREME premium. Plus having something tell you the BPM of a track is cheating! And the pitch moving in digital increments is pants, plus they're 'industry standard' for all the wrong reasons, blanket marketing works haha. Vinyl for life, or save yourself a shit load and get Traktor/Serato. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
