Head Unit Brands

[tweedbean]

Trying to decide on a new H/U, probably a DVD one.

Thought I would see what people on here own and there opinions on the brands?

[Danny]

Alpine or Pioneer i guess :)

i would say alpine, get the 9850ri if you have an ipod, a great HU, look at my photobucket, link below, and check it out!

i have just bought a pioneer one, very happy with it but alpine is fantastic also.

[SpiiceBoy]

My vote would be Alpine! But Pioneer Also! We're not bothered :D

[Carlosjpt]

i like sony....good prices and good quality

[cooldudes_vts]

I dont think there is a massive diff in HU's these days it all really depends
on what you want from it and of course how good your speaker system is.
Show a couple of linkys to what you are looking at and maybe we can give
our opinions on them dude.

Use a AUX splitter and your sorted :D

Go for Alpine, if your after a DVD HU they are pricey but offer great quality, if not the best for there price bracket.

If I wanted a DVD unit it'd be Alpine.

For spinning CDs you can't beat Nakamichi IMO. I love my CD400 & I'd have a CD700 if I could justify spending so much. McIntosh are also very nice, but a tad overpriced.

Hughes? Bose? Are you joking? Way overpriced - you're just paying for the name. Since when are they established the in the car audio world? It's just for brand whores, would you like a TT with that?

Sorry, not trying to have a go, I just hate Bose :lol:

Pioneer all the way!

got to agree just got a pioneer keh p85bt and the pioneer connector for this unit and the c2 has au inputs all pre outs and ipod connector as well with the optional lead that plugs in the back of the head unit, also bluetooth for phone and streaming music, also a seperate mic so you dont have to talk at your unit when doing over 20 mph lol,depending on which iso leads you buy from pioneer you can even get the head up display running as if using the standard citroen unit, awsome piece of kit, the whole loet cost about £270.00 for head unit ipod connector and pioneer headup/stalk control interface, my only small moan is the bt85 doesnt allow display colour change to match the rest of the dash however the new 2008 model and the lower models all do

Bought a Pioneer AVH-P5700DVD 2 years ago, been in 2 cars and have had no problems whatsoever with it, also got the Pioneer Sat Nav which connects to it and will be getting a bluetooth interface for it after xmas.

Had an Alpine 9831R before that and the GF has a JVC KD-AVX2 in her C3

Out of Alpine and Pioneer though, I have to say that he sound quality from an Alpine sounds better, but if you want better sound quality then you should look at a Nakamichi H/U.
