    Post Need inputs on these double din Headunits!! :D

    Hey guys im planning on buying a double din headunit for my 3....anyways ive been looking around and have not yet decided which one i will get...so far ive looked at the Pioneer avic-x930bt, kenwood excelon dnx6980, and the clarion nx501....I have already spoken to a few members about the clarion but I would also appreciate if any of u guys can share some of ur experiences with the other units mentioned above...

    So far im leaning towards the clarion nx501 mostly because it has the best interface out of the three units ive mentioned.. plus its the cheapest and has the most features...the kenwood also has a lot of sick features but the unit interface really sucks... ...

    anyways any info/review/experience with the units mentioned will be greatly appreciated... my budget is 1000$ max just for the unit....if there are other units that u guys think i should also look at feel free to post it here..thanks!!!

    Personally i think Kenwood is overpriced, its the same as JL.
    Personally Pioneer i think is king in this field of car audio.
    I have the Z110bt and its been amazing, the GUI is awesome and easy.
    Id say get the Z130bt but your budget is $1000 and thats the sytem online without taxes and shipping.

    yea i looked at it and actually checked a few local stores that sells that unit...i think it goes from 1200-1300 from what i remember....if i had extra cash id def go for the z130bt...have u had any issues with it?? is it worth the extra 300$?? thanks for the reply btw..

    i had the JVC NX-7000 before and now changed to the pioneer 900bt (i think) and love both units, the GUI is a bit slow on the pioneer compared to the JVC but you get used to it.

    no problem, they have awesome prices, i know a few ppl including myself that have ordered from there. shipping is fast and they also include the duties and taxes in the shipping fee if youre in canada.

    they also have refurb stuff. not sure who refurbs them but someone i know got a pioneer avic refurb over a year ago and it still works fine to this day. i also got my bluetooth unit for my JVC refurb from there (someone else on this forum got it there too) and no issues so far.

    Well i think its worth the extra cash but thats cause i had the extra to spend so its really up to you.
    no issues yet i love the Z110bt and the Z130 is probably better
