what do you want in a headunit?

yeh thats the headunit i got from parallel. I dropped the face and half the screen didnt work. I took it back (the whole stereo) they said they will fix it for free, after lots of pissing round i got the stereo back and none of the buttons work on the facepalte except for the function and volume. Really pissed off, but good h.u never the less. Its got music catcher too

I personally like , and am going to get somthing like this.

It's a pity they don't stock the DXZ-746MP any more, they were a superb head unit for their $299 asking price!!!

[Pies]

Adydas have you tried one out? Make sure you do as I have a pioneer 6750 (lower in the range I know but the buttons will probably be similar) and I'm really not happy with the flimsyness of the buttons. I've played with a few of the new pioneers in the shops and the big round buttons always feel like they are about to snap off, and somtimes not reading your inputs. ie. push skip forwards and nothing happens.

Zorril have you looked at something like this?

Do you have an iPod? If so, hands down best unit on the market for under $500 is the KDC-5033U from Kenwood. HPF/LPF, 24 bit Burr Brown DACs, direct USB control of iPods and MP3 players + charging, and its nice to use too. Doesnt have dancing dolphins, but you'll cope

Damn those dancing dolphins!

They're what convinced me to get my pioneer with the crappy buttons.

[Adydas]

Dancing Dolphins, Mannnn i got ripped i had the old one with the racing cars.

Yeah I must say i quite like the one advertising alot in the NZPC mags latly, with the Bluetooth support if i could support that and an ipod id be well happy. How ever im a million miles away from a headunit atm.
