Alpine IVA double din looks much much better in my opinion.

It costs right around 1100 or less in stores.

I have that the KVT717 and it's a good head unit... never had any problems what so ever... if u do decide to get it, u should buy the GPS add on it's worth it.$900 for the HU is a pretty good price, i dont think u would be able to find it else where for much cheaper...

should i go for this or Alpine? 310 unit?

why don't you get the Kenwood DDX 8017. Doube Din. Touch Screen. Top of the line for around $1200.

One thing I would check is if you are able to play MP3s off of a DVD. So some inexplicable reason Pioneer has decided that you shouldn't be able to read MP3's off of the $2200(retail) AVIC-Z1, even though it reads them off a CD fine. This is a huge pet peave I have with this system; that and its inablity to directly copy MP3's to the onboard Hard Drive.

The HU has some nice features. If you're running amps, the 5v pre-outs will provide good output pwr signals from your HU. Is the radio XM or Sirus ready?

Not sure if this applies to this model but alot of these units have control units hidden away. Sometimes epople will sele the head unit only and not the control; unit
