Looking at buying an in-dash unit for my 08 nismo z, ive been looking for awhile and see some good units, im looking to spend around $700, and im not looking for one with navigation. any suggestions?

 

oo okay, are any of the jvc head units any good?

 

get dnx8120 you wont regret it

 

i have the JVC KD-DV5100, i got it for it DVD playback capability w/o its own LCD. JVC units are decent...

 

Just put in a JVC KW-AVX720 for under $400 (diy), no nav but very nice unit.

 

I have a Pioneer AVH-P4000. got the ipod direct connection off of ebay for cheap and you can get the unit for like 375 brand new on amazon. Im diggin mine, had it for about a year

 

im looking at the Pioneer's AVH-P4100DVD DVD, ive had a pioneer in dash in my last car and had no problems. i like that dnx8120 unit, but a little out of my range.

 

i was also reading, that if you get an after market head unit, the steering controls dont work, and you would have to buy a separate cable or whatever to make it work. has anyone ran into this problem?

 

I recommend the Alpine IVA-W505, I found it here for around 700 bucks. If you're serious about watching movies in your vehicle, this is the headunit to get.. looks very clear. If not, then it's a bit expensive for what it is. It's very simple to navigate through compared to the kenwood touch screens. Many features.. so on and so forth.

About the steering wheel controls, you'll need a third party adapter.. I believe my installed used one made by PAC.. not 100 percent on that though. but, it hindered the used of the supplied remote. So no flip flopping through songs as you stand by your car showing off.. lol

 

thanks for the input, i rarely use the steering wheel controls as it is now,

 

so true. i still have problems finding where some of the settings are buried.

PAC makes them for our cars. you can get one that uses IR or one that is made for a deck that has a remote control jack.

I just installed the above in my Nismo. It has built in navigation, BT, Ipod control (without having to buy an extra adapter), and SD card slot and it's priced reasonably.

 

make sure you want single or double din. For me i chose single since i like that extra din as a pocket to hold my cellphone & wallet

 

im going with a double din, i already have the big compartment so i dont want anymore open spaces. i liked that jvc with the navi, galvatrontype r do you have any pics with it installed your nismo?
