white4d96 Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 Browsing around at double din touchscreens, don't really have a budget but would like to stay in the $3-400 range. I'm debating whether or not to get a HU with Sat-Nav though. Something like this maybe: http://www.audiosavings.com/products/In-Dash-Car-GPS-Navigation-System/Package-Jensen-VM9414-7-In-Dash-Car-Navigation-System,-DVD-Receiver--Camera/VM9414---RMC2.aspx BUT I have a nagging feeling that the cheap Sat-Nav interfaces are clunkety, outdated, and crappy. Not to mention, if I buy a non-Sat-Nav unit, I could get something a little nicer, with a better interface, ability to set my own background, little stuff like that that we all love playing with. Something like one of these: http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_32828_Pioneer-AVH-P4300DVD.html http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_32843_Pioneer-AVH-P3300BT.html ...What do you guys think?

blownengine Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 I like navi units. Im the kind of person who ALWAYS needs google maps or something If I go anywhere out of town. Two of my friends have touchscreen Pioneer navi units that are really nice.

white4d96 Posted October 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 That's a good point but I'm concerned that I won't be able to get a good navi system in my budget. Quote Too many projects, too little time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white4d96 Posted October 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 I didnt want to make another thread, but does anyone have experience with the Jensen VM9424? My current HU is starting to crap out on me and it's time to upgrade. Debating getting the 9424 or one of the above Pioneers (possibly the 3300bt as I love the heck out of Pandora.) Thoughts?

Mario928 Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 You should probably get the pioneer instead of the Jensen.

white4d96 Posted October 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 Message received. Now do I get the one with the bigger screen, or the one with Pandora... Quote Too many projects, too little time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryan916 Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 (edited) The navigation I have on my phone is excellent. I almost feel like having a nice double din touch and a google Android or iPhone is better investment than a good quality navigation hu. You certainly will have a larger cleaner navigation setup but to me, it personally isn't worth it. You also can only use the thing in your car. I can take my phone and navi in my gf or buddies' cars and use it. Edit ^^ I definitely regret not getting.a hu with Pandora Edited October 30, 2011 by ryan916 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splmark Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 I have the avh-4200 and love it if I need nav. I just use my phone. Its always up to date etc. Quote http://www.termpro.com/dbdrag/memberalbum/34416a0.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white4d96 Posted October 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 Turns out both of them have Pandora, but apparently only if you have an iPhone, I guess it doesn't interface with Android? Buncha crap...I think I'm gonna go with the 3300, it's cheaper and all the features are on the face where I can access them (will be going in a center console) Quote Too many projects, too little time...
