Hey guys im looking to get a new head unit and i was wondering what would be a better choice? I want something like the JVC Arsenal KD-AR5500 With the guages but i dont want to spend the 350 bucks, So if any body has any idea of a head unit with those cool guages and a port for my ipod shuffle second generation then we'll be set. I want to spend in the neighborhood of 100 or 150 MAX in know its cheap but im 16 payin 180 for insurance and have 1 job. Thanks guys
If that's all you've got in the budget then don't get something you'll have to replace in a year or two and will sound like crap. Shopping for a deck based on looks is never a good idea. Do what you want but you'll wish you had gotten something of higher quality. There, got the preaching out of the way.
If I had between $100 and $150 to spend, I'd go with the Pioneer Premier DEH-P390MP, or the DEH-3900MP
I've got the Pioneer DEH-3900MP and it's a great HU for the price I got it at, which was $120 (harnesses and adapters came free). If I was you, I would stick to Pioneer, they're known for making great HU's, and get one in the $150 range or more so you can get the best one for your money.
