Need help chosing touch screen HU


Recommended Posts

I'm stuck with a single din in my car. That soundstream looks neat but can't find any info on actual features besides basic basic stuff. Also the price is showing 800+. Obviously that could come down. Others?

price varies by options. that particular one had nav and bt. not sure if thats a requirement or not for you. i guess it would help to know if you want nav/bt/tv tuner

I'm pretty set on wanting a flipout. Technically I could do double din but that requires changing from manual air/heat to EATC. It's a Taurus I'm doing my build in and the radio mount and ac controls are all one and the only double din mounts require eatc which I'm not interested in. I have a friend that has had a Kenwood KVT-5016?? I don't know the model number. But he has had it for two years now and the flip out still works great.

kenwood kvt-516. great unit. im personally a big fan of kenwood headunits. ive never had any trouble with any of them. i would definitely recommend that over the soundstream. i guess i was a little awestruck by the 8.3" screen on the soundstream so it popped in my head first haha

Learn to fiberglass then. ;)

Just saying man, I've seen problems. Not to mention as it stands, not many touch screens have been up to standards with the higher audio processing units.

hell i dont know. throw me a price i cant refuse. it also comes with original box and the ipod adapter which was like 30 bucks extra, in all i think i have $460 in it with the price of the unit, ipod adapter and shipping.

edit: its a great ass unit. great sq, easy navigation. i hate to get rid of it. but i need the money to pay my already past due bills (phone bills, car payment, insurance, credit card)

soundstream is releasing a 8.3" flipout hu. its going to be ~$600. distributor was just in my shop today talking about how cool it was haha. but it is pretty cool how it works. might be able to find a demo on youtube. its hard to describe the opening mechanism.

unit is VIR-8333NB

You got me interested in this until I read that it only has one set of outputs.

I'm not real big on throwing offers.

But isn't MSRP like $500?

Well lets say I decided to switch over to EATC and get a double din mount or decided to tackle fiberglassing a custom mount and relocate my AC controls...Hows the Pioneer AVH-P4200DVD? Kind of been looking through a few double dins and honestly I have fell in love with the UI and in general usage of this product from videos and pics. Is it a good HU?
