I've been looking for a headunit with ipod direct control/charging. A touch screen with dvd playback, and with a removable faceplate. Also with a high wattage output. At least 80 watts x 4. Haven't really had any luck finding one. Anyone know of one?
You're kidding, right? There are a ton of head units with all those features EXCEPT the 80watts x 4. That's unheard of in head units (unless the company is lying). If you want that kind of power, you need an external amp.
It will be a bit more tricky to find that in a single DIN head unit, but nearly all touchscreen double din head units have that feature (or the fold out flip screen units).
Wow, I'm surprised you responded so quickly to a post you made nearly three months ago :P
And yeah, Boss is totally lying about the 80w x 4. The stats Boss uses are ALWAYS inflated. Just a marketing scheme, unfortunately.
I haven't used the jvc avx 77. in particular, but I've used the avx1 and can say that the 77 should be fine. Normally I'm not a fan of JVC, but I have the very first El Kameleon KD-LX1 (built in 1999) and its still running strong today (despite a few times where the motorized face needs a slight tap to open all the way for the CD to eject).
Funny, too, since the JVC head units came to mind when you mentioned the things you're looking for. It seems that you want a single DIN head unit without a fold-out screen, right?
Haha ya whenever someone responds to a post of mine, it sends it to the email on my phone... But ya I'm not a fan of the 7' touchscreens with the horrible atari looking interface. I saw a video where the avx 44 was detached; is this the same with the avx 77? That would be a big selling factor for me. My windows are tinted, but still, these kids are crazy
