I have heard a lot about the drawbacks of the factory headunit whether it be mygig or the other so I want to see what everyone is installing and what you are paying.

Thanks

I put in a pioneer DEH-7800, all new speaks, new sub and amps.
all my gear came out of my last car and has been picked up over the last 2 years.
install cost was $15 for the single din dash kit, I didnt use a wiring harness.
new tweets and 10" sub make the biggest difference, well other than the HUGE difference in volume

 

seems like the flip up screens would be a little too in your face and distracting but I think it would attract a lot less attention from crooks.

 

Here are some pics of the Kenwood DDX7019. It has the Garmin Navigation interface (Garmin G510) which is why I went with Kenwood. They're the only after-market company that has Garmin. It also has a bluetooth interface for making phone calls, back-up camera, iPod interface, Sirius Satellite Radio, and a USB port. I highly recommend it....

 

I installed an Alpine IVA-W205 head unit with the Blackbird Navigation (the nav unit docks inside the head unit and is removable.) The head unit has a 6.5" touchscreen, DVD player, iPod connection, radio, aux input; the navigation unit obviously has navigation, but also bluetooth connectivity for your cell phone.


Write-up of the install is here:
