I love my Kenwood DNX7160. Has nav,bluetooth and much more. Plus nav is garmin, not fond of other nav systems.

look up NitroGlisson as well, he just got a Pioneer unit

midnight07GT · January 21st, 2012, 01:09 PM

Get the 5.8" pioneer. I have it and love it. Bluetooth and nav are seperate boxes but it's capable. And the did alone was only $250

bk3939 · January 22nd, 2012, 09:02 AM

Sony Xnv-770BT Crutchfield its only $600. Now thats a good deal plus you have the name Sony in your car. Tom Tom Nav built in and bluetooth. I was thinking about getting this unit but I am waiting for the new Pioneer unit to come out.

Mattman · January 22nd, 2012, 02:52 PM

I just picked up the Pioneer AVIC-Z130BT. It was around $900 and more than I planned on spending but it is nice! It has GPS, traffic radio, voice controlled GPS and iPOD search. So far loving it.

If you can wait a few more months, CES was just a week ago and showed a shit ton of new car audio products that won't be on shelves until around mid may. if you can wait I'd get a brand new unit with the newest 2012 features, otherwise you will be kicking yourself for buying last years models

if you have a hole burning in your pocket until then go with the tint to hold you over and save up for the nice new stuff. thats my opinion and what i would do

bk3939 · January 23rd, 2012, 06:35 PM

Make sure you read a lot of reviews too. I held off on buying the Pioneer units because there was a lot of complaints with the start up time and slow response. Not sure if that happens anymore though.

deprydation · January 23rd, 2012, 09:42 PM

This guy is asking which 400+ dollar head unit to buy in this thread, but asking for a free handout of a 20$ set of stickers in another thread.

Moron.

bk3939 · January 24th, 2012, 07:11 PM

Wow I dont know how you managed the rims and tires with having kids. lol I'm debating on buying a new electric dryer or getting a in dash dvd player. I'm leaning towards the in dash dvd player. The dryer can blow out before i get a new one!

xtreme4g2012 · January 24th, 2012, 08:37 PM

its hard had to work a second job to cut it, some people dont understand they think your rich cause you have nice stuff but truth is you struggle to get these mods, if you have a old lady you know what im talkin bout, their always like your to old to be fuckin with your car or dont waist money on your car, if your over 25 you know what im talkin bout, tough times man but im getting my project together one step at a time
