Having a small issue deciding on what brand I can get for my Z that has an iPod interface with good visuals for around 1,000~1,200 any ideas, I have already checked Alpine, Pioneer and Sony, so far Pioneer(leaning into atm), any expertise will be appreciated thanks everyone.

 

Kenwood DNX6980, has Ipod, GPS, DVD, 6 channel Pre-amp 5v. Even crutchfield has that for $1,099.00

 

anything but pioneer i hate mine and wish i would of went with anything else

 

Pioneer Z3 but it exceeds your preferred spending limits.

 

which model?

 

how much are we talking like 2grand?

 

I have a Pioneer AVH-P4200dvd in my car now... I love it.. I'm not a very big audio person though but it does get the job done well... that one is discontinued now and they have the 4300 which allows pandora support

 

isn't that an older model?

 

Pandora sucks. They need to stop rotating the same 16 songs over and over again.

I was going to snag a Kenwood 6960, but found an excellent deal on a slightly older DDX-7019 with nav and bluetooth modules. The nav unit has USB and an SD card so the maps can be updated.

The 6960 sure is a nice piece of kit, and with your price range will leave some cash left over for speakers and an amp.

 

I alrdy got the Infinity Reference series all around plus a couple alpine amps hooked up to my all 5yr alpine single din receiver looking for the nice upgrade and great interface very important

 

I put a AVH-P3200bt in my truck and I love it! blue tooth, ipod, sdcard, preouts. Some options are nav, remote, not sure of the full specs.
