Double Din or single screen?

Hey everyone,

Im Nearing the time to make the decision if i want a single din screen or a double din. i have never had a double din in my supra. I love the flush look in the interior of a double din, but do any of you double din owners find it a little to low look at or operate? I have had a single din screan before and i loved the eyline view but i hated the fact that it blocked my AC controls. SO can anyone who has a single or double din screen contribute on what they think of them?

Thanks,
Daniel

Your title says "ding" :rofl:

But anyways, I did have a double din unit in my 93 supra (came with the car). It was a kenwood and it worked great, I dont know... I kinda perfer the pop out screen units. The double dins are quite expensive as well, so might as well put that money to better use>

But to each his own I guess.

i love that one. Anyone got a good place where i can grab this for a good price? how much are the ad ons like nav?

 

[88supramkiii]

you can pick one up at a great place in ventura

i can check on the add ons if you're interested

 

[n00bster]

How much we talkin in ventura? yes i would like to know on the add ons

 

[88supramkiii]

i'll check for you tomorrow. you just interested in the nav add on? why not go with an eclipse unit w/ integrated navi?

I like my N2. And how often do you really need to change the AC controls? I usually just set mine and leave it be. And it's not like the controls are completely unreachable with the screen up.

is the eclipse unit better quality? i heard nothing beats the 8017...i want best in quality...also if its so much less cost effective then i might be intrested

 

[88supramkiii]

eclipse quality is very good. kenwood is nice because it's 5.1 ready...HOWEVER...kenwood is a bitch to deal with on just about every aspect (customer service, warranty, etc)

i've seen more issues with kenwood screens than i have with eclipse screens (i'm the warranty guy for a car audio shop)

ah ha!! Ive been waiting for that! I was wondering what took you so long! But i knew you'd come through

 

[88supramkiii]

hahaha, well why add on navi for like a grand when you can get it already integrated?


it's just another thing to hide somewher else

 

[minguezCD]

The new Kenwood NAVI is pretty small, bout the size of a pack of cigs...and you dont have to find speed sense wire anymore. I actually like the interface of the old Kenwood nav better...plus on the old one, you can have a chick with a UK accent direct you :bigthumb:

 

[88supramkiii]

hahaha, yeah the new AVN7000 has a UK chick directing you where to go. it's pretty nice and soothing

I second the Kenwood DDX with navs... i got it and love it, and yes I use the UK chick too. lol
