Looking for a new double din
My 6+ year old clarion crapped out on me.. Looking to replace it with a new one with the capabilities to link my android phone.. Been out of the car audio game for a while, whats good nowadays?? Im partial to Alpine and Kenwood as I remember them being high end back in the day.. I looked real quick and the Alpine ics-x7hd looks promising but its from 2013.. Wanna get the latest and greatest lol

I got to play with an 8100NEX a few months back when I installed one for a member, very good headunit, but I wouldn't pay extra for the navigation when you get great navigation built into the phone that interfaces with it.

Sound quality on modern headunits is pretty much good all around. Once you introduce road noise, the difference is pretty much nil.

The AppRadio One feature is nice, working completely through the standard USB cable in the phone, no adapters required. Apps need to get caught up though. I can't wait for Waze to work properly through it, since it's the only navigation system I really trust for live traffic updates.
Pandora is excellent with this headunit - you get your stations list, thumbs up/down, can build stations right on the radio, album art... very good, all over bluetooth when using Android. I wish the UI would shrink the "PANDORA" text and station name and give more room for the artist and album names.

Second this. I've been running it since April and it's a really nice unit. I didn't need nav, but it will run Apple Maps natively in carplay, and support audio from Waze when you need it. Really pleased with it so far.
