Hey guys - it's about time i switch up the sounds and I've been on the hunt for a new head unit... except there's very little choice it seems...

i'm settled between the Kenwood DNX6690 and the Alpine w900bt... but finding competitive pricing around the island is a bit tough... also, i'm pretty weary of who does the install (would prefer to do it myself - all depends on the total price)

...so... any suggestions? where to look, who's a trustworthy installer and so on...

otherwise, it's off to amazon or flEabay...

Thanks guys!

 

Hit up ds baruuuuu or motomech for your car audio needs.

 

BIG Deezy installs

pm Dave SN:dsbaruuuuu

 

i can get you a deal on the 900bt i will check the pricing tomorrow when i go into work. it will be a little bit over cost. i will pm you a price tomorrow when i get into work and check on pricing

 

Momotech ( Brian ) does really good custom work if you are looking for that sort of thing, fiberglass, tuned boxes, whatever.

But DsBaruuu is da man wit da plan for parts and installs!

 

Bought my gf a alpine in a w900bt off eBay for 800 shipped. eBay is probably the cheapest unless they give you a deal on the installation

 

i can do a little cheaper then 800. no warranty from ebay. mine still has the 1 year warranty

 

^^^ There you go,..better price, no shipping price or wait, and 1 yr warranty and he can install for you....

 

Dont wanna start a new thread and sorry for the jack, but what units on the market that are double din that support a2dp (not on the Iband-wagon) and dvd?

 

Obviously, Big D is the truth so you should have him help you.

However, I would rather get the Kenwood as it has a way better navigation software (Garmin provides it for Kenwood...I think on that model too).

 

Ill check what I have tomorrow what supports it elway

 

Thanks for all the replies everyone - and Dave, got your pm, pm'd you back (gotta send you my # actually)

I'm with you bpang on the better nav, but i suppose since alpine's software is updateable, and hawaii's only 120mi in cicumference, i'm probably still in the clear lol

i'd be curious to know if the alpine supports the a2dp for android as well, i got rid of my iphone, now on an evo and i was pleasantly surprised that the stock subaru hu does a2dp from the deck/steering wheel controls, even for pandora!

 

ok the 900bt supports A2DP or AVRCP
you could also use the alpine 400bt (external bt for decks) on any older tv/radio and it also supports A2DP or AVRCP

 

sweeeet! If anything, it'll control my android via bt just like the stock hu, that's good news...

 

Wait wait wait...I have an android phone...if I got Pandora I could do this playing music from the phone to the stereo thing you write of?!

I haven't really played around with my phone much but I guess it stands to reason that it could work.
