IS the DEH-P690UB a lot better than the DEH-P490IB? What's the difference? Is it worth spending even more and getting the DEH-P790BT. Also are the models about to change with the year? I want only a few things in a head unit is to hook-up my ipod to it and have it charging and showing up on the unit. I also want a subwoofer control, remote, and thats about it. Which one should I buy? Also if Alpine for the money is better add in that too. The DEH-P690UB is just under $200 new.
Thanks
Brad

Well, you know what you want.

Look at the HU's, make sure they got what you want, then spend money.

Alpine and Pioneer are both great, but I prefer the use of a Pioneer. Make sure it's a Premier model though.

their is a difference, the p690ub has better features, you got the ipod interface and also the usb connection so you can use any usb memory and control all your digital music via head unit, go for the deh-p690ub premier

Go with the 690! The 790 is an older unit without usb. The 690 is the top USB hu right now. It's got a better EQ and X-over thanthe lower models.

I just bought the DEH-P690UB so he can use his I-Pod for my son for Christmas. The manager at one of the local A/V stores is a friend and highly recommended the 690 over anything else he sells. In his opinion the 490 is a great HU but lacks some of the controls the 690 has. He also suggested to go with the Premier.

I want to buy it (DEH-P690UB) but Im afraid as soon as I do the 2008 will come out and I will regret it. So does anyone know when it comes out and if its pretty much the same? Also difference between DEH-P690UB and the DEH-P6900UB, one is a little more.
Thanks

The 690 will not be replaced in 08. Some higher end hu's may show up but they'll cost more than the 690(>$100.more)imo.

the p690ub will still be advance because of usb play and the ipod compatible, i mean how much can it do, by the way their will be some great 2008 source unit like panasonic and jvc that will have 40gb internal drive so you can save all you favorite digital music to it and with cd quality sound, so if you like to wait , your welcome to
