billy101 Posted December 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 @ Gally; Thanks for the responses, but in all honestly the look of that head unit does not appeal to me. I know it may sound stupid, but it looks pretty ugly to me. Some of the buttons are "touch" buttons and that looks pretty clunky, I like having physical buttons. @Big Lo So you like it? How are the equalizing features, CD playback, and how is it to navigate through an ipod? Quote First System 2002 Impala LS 3.8L V6, 128,365k miles.

larrys95civic Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 I am using Kenwood KDC-BT945U and it's awesome, only thing i can say i don't like about it is how to change songs on the actual unit its self so I use the remote 90% of the time. Other than that the set up for what you can do with speaker adjustment, speaker size, vehicle type and a ton of other shit has improved the actual sound quality. Can't speak for the other units but I have had this kenwood for about 2 months now and love it.

Yeah I seen the new version, its a p3200 something like that..looks pretty nice but would like a physical knob for volume... It's also $260. lol The KDC-X794 is looking better and better.

cubs_fan0718 Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 Any HU that has 4v or better pre outs, i've owned a kenwood deck and liked it now im on a Pioneer 5v pres 16band EQ BT all the goodies built in only thing i dont like is u cant turn the decks amp off which with kenwood (or the one i had) you could. id say get a kenwood like the 794, unless u want built-in bluetooth which is nice and saves you from getting a ticket in some states (handsfree).

YoungBuck Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 I'd go with the BT645U, can't beat bluetooth! Quote PM me for free Photoshop stuff SAMSQUANCH!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billy101 Posted December 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 cubs_fan0718 & YoungBuck I think you guys just changed my mind. haha.....the BT945U is looking like the one if someone can tell me what the difference between the BT945U and the X794. One's excelon and the other one isnt. The non-excelon unit is CEA-2006 certified, the excelon unit isn't. any other major differences? Right now, whenever someone calls me I answer it and put it on speaker and lay it on my lap. It would also be cool to be able to play my iPod thru the HU with bluetooth!!
