clarkie34 Posted June 20, 2010 Posted June 20, 2010 Alpine W202,there are newer models now though. Quote
Pimm Posted June 20, 2010 Posted June 20, 2010 Alpine CDW203Ri Get the newer picture with the surround that fits properly Quote
3FIDDYZ Posted June 21, 2010 Posted June 21, 2010 Kenwood DNX-7200 and Kenwood KOS-L702 with Kenwood KOS-V500 hidden media adapter. The Kenwood KOS range is pretty good if you looking for something a little more secure, as you can pop the screen out when its parked but still have all the benifits of a Double Din video unit... V500 sits in the cubby behind the Pax seat with all the connections running into there... Quote

sparky370z Posted June 21, 2010 Posted June 21, 2010 the kenwood one in the top pic is really really good unit. dnx 5220 bt if i remember. sat nav and BT controls are spot on. Quote

The only thing I didnt like about that one is that its built for the US market... Volume control and buttons are on the wrong side!! Quote

Volume control and buttons are on the wrong side!! thats right but i liked it that way. the steering controls were always used. and i very rarely touched the volume knobs. the couple up from this dont have a volume knob as its all intergrated.

Thats why I went for the DNX-7200 as it looks more balanced without the knob and as you say if you use the steering wheel controls then you dont need it! Quote
wizard Posted June 21, 2010 Posted June 21, 2010 Actual steering wheel volume buttons or like those little remote's you can attach to the wheel? Is there a consenus of the 'best' DD unit.. without going overly complex like fiddy's setup? Quote
sparky370z Posted June 21, 2010 Posted June 21, 2010 well i suppose its how much u wanna spend, what "toys" do u want, what the sound is like. ect......... but i loved the kenwood one. always have loved kenwood stuff tho. always very easy to use but with great advanced settings too. Quote

Is there a consenus of the 'best' DD unit.. without going overly complex like fiddy's setup? Actual steering wheel buttons... And mines not complex... its actually quite basic! Just chose proven stuff that fits and works together!! Quote
ikarus Posted June 21, 2010 Posted June 21, 2010 I have a steering wheel remote for my kenwood AND i use the volume knob sometimes. Doesn't bother me that it's on the left. I can reach first gear so i can reach the volume dial . Quote

TBH, if you saw the teeth on the dark haired one, you'd think twice bout gettin head from what looked like a meatgrinder... Blonde looked ok, but deffo use disinfectant after and get yourself checked out at local GUM clinic. Oh, will post pics of my Pioneer F900BT up Quote
