New Stereo

azrael · Mar 18, 2009

Possibly not the right section but gonna change the stereo. Of the ones below does anyone have any recommendations, comparisons or reviews. Basically i'd like whichever one is best.

Alpine IVA-D106R - http://www.alpine-electronics.co.uk/hom ... dercontent

Pioneer AVH-P5100DVD - http://www.pioneer.co.uk/uk/products/25 ... specs.html

Kenwood KVT-524DVD - http://www.kenwood-electronics.co.uk/pr ... D/details/

Who watches DVDs in their car! Get a normal head unit and save some weight. Personally I like Pioneer stuff, i'm still using the head unit I bought 10 years ago and it still sounds great. Was chatting with an owner of an ICE shop and he said mine still had better quality then most of the current models except top of the range, just a few less features lol

I just want one

besides I will have plenty of oportunity to use it. Used to have an Alpine IVA-D900R until some tea leaf relieved me of it. Was quite happy with that so thinking the new stuff should be good and at nearly one 5th the price a bargain too!

I've got an Alpine in my car and love it.

Its years old an works perfectly and has been in about 3 or 4 different cars.

I've had a DVD head unit but found there was no point unless your gonna park up somewhere and watch it.........

LOL

Can't beat an Alpine for sound quality imo!

I must admit when I had the TV in the bmw it did get used - but i haven't missed it since.

I'm sure it will get used on the way accross Europe as some of us get stopped or were waiting for people. Nice to have the option there thats all.

Think I prefer the Kenwood... but thats based entirely on aesthetics.

I'm not sure spec wise which one is actually better
