    So, my next mod on the list, which wil lbe a christmas present fro mmy girl, will be the above mentioned. The shop i have near me is offering me a good price, however, i dotn know the type of product they are giving me (probably pioneer). I have also seen that JVC Sinestra has, and it looks like its a great choice. Im curious to see how everyone else went, and what products you all recommend. What im aimnig for is dvd/cd/mps/ipod ready. The most important thing is the ipod ready, since it is damn near hard to drive and dick around with an iTouch. Let me know whats good homies

    most of the Pioneers will work with the iPods, but they won't have direct iPod control from the headunit unless you buy an add-on part.

    I like Pioneer AVH-P6000DVD with the CD-IB100II

    I actually was looknig at the P4000 when you told me about the other one. Looks good, and good price, just lookin for 100% touch screen w/o knobs. I wrote it down on my list tho.

    Those other ones tho, big no no. Too small to bother buying. Those pioneers are defintly on my list now. Good lookin out Serious

    z2 sucks... I've got it in the car right now.

    I would go with the kenwood, it has garmin navagation and it looks pretty nice. I haven't messed with it yet but the avic-z2, and z3 are overpriced and they aren't great headunits.

    You know my vote already. I have had zero problems with the JVC i got its very responsive even when cold and all around is just great a unit. I was like you i didnt want any knobs nor a flip out and something with an ipod integration kit and this worked perfectly. JVC also just came out with i think its the 810 its the big brother of mine with a few more options.

    Does anyone think buyign from amazon is a bad idea? cuz if it isnt, im buying one like Sinestras. That shit just makes me fuzzy inside

    You have to be very careful when buying from onine sites. Many manufactures, like Pioneer, will not warranty an item unless it was bought from an authorized dealer. If anything happen to the headunit, speakers, amps, ect, you would be screwed.

    What do you recommend then Serious? I think my heart is set with Sinestras JVC. And the place that i can buy it at is telling me for 550, with installation and everything. Thats really alot considering i can get it for 324 on amazon, then just take it to them to instal

    If you buy it from Amazon you are covered. Amazon and any dealer selling through Amzaon is a authorized i have the full warrenty on my unit and even registered my unit with JVC. Even if there is a problem you can contact Amazon and they will either replace it or give you a refund. Its up to you im just sharing my expierence i buy a lot of stuff through Amazon and everything always runs smoothly.

    I can assure you, you will have the full warrenty from JVC on the unit if you chose to buy it. If you have questions shoot me a PM.
