What head unit does everyone use?

First topic message reminder :

So what head unit does everyone use? In the market to get a good new head unit for the 4runner...was thinking about looking at the SQ decks with decent outputs.

I have a Pioneer 5500mp in the Ford Tempo, a Pioneer 6900ub in the Acura Legend. I also have a Pioneer 6900ub in my GMC for daily and a Pioneer DEH 12 in the back for USAC burps. So, yeah, I like Pioneer.

Last van was on a panasonic but id be surprised if I use anything other than Alpine this time around.

fosgate ravdvd1.... its a slow changing tracks and loading discs but other then that i like it

ive had sonys alpines panasonics but now i think i like the kenwood that i have the best

I like Kenwood and Pioneer, but if I had to choose I would rather have Kenwood anyday.

Ive wen through 3 pioneers to with pulsating woofer problem then i went alpine LONGEST lasting deck ive ever had too love it to death

I have 2 of these decks (RFX8140) but both need fixed. I use alot of the older eclipse stuff but have a DRZ9255 for the S-10 when she comes back out

Doug you have PM

Head unit? What's that?!

Are those those antiquted things that only play CDs and do AM/FM radio? Hrmm...I had one of those once...

check sig for more info

lol well if i could have a badass carputer like you i would switch in a second but my skills are lacking

lol - this isn't like my first install or anything, it takes some time to get it there...no different than a regular car audio install..

This is what's in now. Ever customer wants one in their ride. Most of them with big touch screen with verizon wireless internet. I install quite a few the past couple of years. What computer system are you using Jan?

I don't use a prebuilt system, haven't ever used one in the 4+ years I've been running a PC.

However, we do sell the Infill G4 with StreetDeck....

I work for MP3Car.com btw...if you're installing PCs you really should check out the forum...60,000+ members and over a million posts...check my sig on here for a link.

any chance you would have time to build someone else a PC? id really love to control my 360.2 without needing my laptop and watch music vids/have a nice library of MP3's all the time

Building the PC is the super easy part. Heck, you can just go on the store at MP3Car.com and build a custom configured CarPC and have the store build, install, and configure it for you. All you have to do is install it in the car.

ya... id really like the G4 case that i could have the store build install and configure

The G4 comes prebuilt from the manufacturer. you just tell the store what size HDD and amount of memory. It comes with the image already installed and with SD. It's a true all-in-one solution that requires little to no configuration. However, as with the rest of the CarPC industry at this time, it's still very much for those who are technically savy and who understand that a CarPc is NOT simply a head unit.

ya id rather have all the options like some of the other cases... but the sorta situation is if i get a regular case i have to mount it in the back and i want a dvd drive up front and the infill case is the perfect case but id rather have internal bluetooth, no onboard amp, internal soundcard (of my choice) better dvd drive ect

but it looks like theres alot more custom stuff since i last checked it out

Nothing says that just because the PC is in the back a CD drive has to be back there. My PC isn't mounted in the front of the car and I have my CD/DVD drive mounted in the front of the car. All you have to use is an external case for the drive.
