.... i dont understand whats happening here.
Pioneer makes some of the best headunits on the market. thats indisputable. some of them NEVER clip. the EQ is top notch. They have an amazing array of functions and compatible formats.
They have direct iPod control or control via the menu system. I'll admit, I'm not a fan of scrolling through all the menus. But with an iPhone or iPod touch, you can get to your music in seconds just a few taps.
OP, you should consider some higher end Pioneer H/Us. They aren't even particularly expensive man.
I can't believe I'm suggesting this because of your atrocious attitude towards guys who were trying to help you, but, if you want a good headunit, check out mine:
This is the 710BT. The 7100BT is the same.
