Team Bassick - Kimo Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 OK so I'm in the market for a double-din player. Now I am old school and set in my ways but, with becoming a father recently I have let go of some of that. I run Alpine in all my Chevy's. Since I went ahead and purchased a non-chevy based on statistics I am willing to purchase a stereo based on some of the key points: QUALITY FEATURES ACCESSIBILITY LONGEVITY & PRICE I've done some online searches for double-din reviews and couldn't really find anything. Also did a search in SMD for one so I figure make a thread and label it right and hopefully this can be useful to others besides myself in the market. Thanks.

Purplehaze Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 The "easy bypass for video in motion" is pretty important. I suggest making that a high priority, unless you wanna have a switch, or wire in a relay. It CAN be a pain in the rear, believe that! And honestly, I'd stick w/ the Alpine. They just make such nice HU's, and I'm sure their d dins are really nice too. I run a Clarion, which I really like. BUT, I had to run a switch.

n8ball2013 Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 for what its worth its a straight ground to the brake wire on teh kenwood. the ddx.616 has built in bluetooth and I think 4 volt outs.

bluethunder Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 the alpine screens are not the easiest things in the world to bypass. it can be done with 2 switches or 2 relays. They have a wire for parking brake and foot brake. just something to think about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert8252 Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 I have personal use with a Pioneer AVH-4200dvd which is identical to my 5200 flip out Price point $400ish 3 sets of 4 volt preouts 8 band EQ I believe Vert fast USB and iPhone/ iPod interface Rear USB and 3.5mm so you just have 7"s of screen in your dash. Very few actual buttons to clutter the screen. Very easy to see display even in direct sunlight. Screen is very responsive. Not much of a delay and no weird click here but it opens something else.. My vote atleast but I haven't used any other double dins. 2013 F150 Crew Cab Old Build Log Feedback 2013 F150 Equipment - Some Awesome Stereo Sound Making Stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
