Pioneer AVH P4100DVD vs AVH P6000DVD

[pervitizm]

That's pretty much it. I'm going with a new pioneer unit and I want to go with a double din unit. I currently have a AVH P5700DVD (that I have bypass to allow DVD playback while driving), which is a flip out unit. I mostly want updated RCA out that give out 4 or more volts, USB functionality, and better eq features.

Don't know if I really need a changer since I already have a 6 disc CD changer now in my current setup. And to be honest, I don't really look at DVDs in the truck so I don't really need to bypass anything. And I already have the Ipod and Sirius pioneer adapters so those would be two addon I won't really need to buy. This is also the reason why I want to stick with Pioneer and no other units (although I've flirted with Alpine and Eclipse), because i have so much money invested in my adapters.

Damn 19 views and not even a single vote on the poll? What the hell, is it my username or what? Every time I post up in here I get no replies. Usually have to bump a thread like three times before I get someone to say something. I know I'm not the only one here that runs or thinking about running Pioneer head units..

I have personal experience with two 4100DVD in two different cars....great units....best buy for a double din touch screen with hi-voltage preouts.

the only real cons you listed for the 4100 are no remote and no divx play back.. woopty doooo!! lol you said you already have a changer and you can buy a remote for like $30 or so, and amazon has them for $400. I'm picking one up within the next 2 weeks

I say the 4100DVD. The other one is more expensive plus all the adapters you have to buy separately.

I have the 4100DVD and it's just badass.

Very user friendly.

Great interface and very quick button reaction.
