Well im just got my G and im looking at buying a head unit with a TV screen to play DVD and so on. Well i was looking at the ClarionVRX 918R or the alpine IVA-D900.

once the weather gets warmer, i'll be putting in my mcintosh mx406 with the analog meters

 

Now, THAT is a headunit.

Very classic - an audiophile's wet dream.

I'm planning on getting the new Pioneer AVIC-N1 when it comes out in March. Has G-Tech type functionality built in.

thanks big_ham... it was a toss up between the mcintosh and the new denon z1. had to go classic with the mcintosh.

 

I was under the impression that the "new" denon z1 is old now. It is no longer produced. Red mountain audio used to carry it but they are no longer carrying it because it is unavailable. Unless they are replacing it and i havent heard about it. Im thinking about going with the nakamichi cd700.

 

Hey man u are in for a big surprise when u get into replacing your head unit. The a/c contols and the factory head unit are on one circut board!!!! It is a one piece circut board so there is no way to separate the two. It is NOT a situation of removing the a/c contols from the radio. There is no way to do it as far as I know. If u do find out please let me know. Thanks, and sorry for the bad news.

 

Wow that pioneer has everything I am looking for, very nice.

Best 1/4 mile 14.371 @ 100.29, 60ft 2.347

 

Ya that pioneer is going to be mucho $$$ when it first comes out. Too bad it only has a 6.5" screen though.

 

You will need a double din unit. Please read the thread about double din and the title is call "Double Din Answer!!!!!!"

Just that it gonna cost you another 2-3 bills.

Im going to get a denon dct-z1 or a Nakamichi CD700II receiver when i get the chance..

 

What about finding a HU that will still work with our steering wheel controls?

The Alpine IVA-D900 has the best resolution BY FAR of any pop-up HU. That is my choice.
