    Default Best headunit for Touchscreen/Bluetooth(a2dp)/direct iPod..

    Any ideas?

    Gonna redo my system, and was thinking of going for a double din.

    What would be the best to use for touchscreen controls, and has bluetooth (phone/audio) and direct iPod control.

    I really want something that doesn't have too many controls along the frame.

    Currently I been looking at:

    and

    http://www.kenwoodusa.com/Car_Entert...e_Video/DDX714

    I am planning on getting it done in August, when I return home, so anyone know of anything coming out before then? Also I can't really check out the systems in person at a store or w/e, so going by the reviews on the net is pretty much all I have. Thanks!

    I've always like Pioneer's stuff, but I'm not familiar with any of these decks. I was going to recommend an Alpine deck, but it takes $1200 just to get one with Bluetooth included, and then you still have to get something else to have Navi, so forget that noise, they need to get on the ball.
    The units that you've linked to look nice though, I like Kenwood, they've always made nice stuff as well.

    Yeah, I saw a decent pioneer one, but I'm going for more of a clean look. The big knob and the disc entry slot kinda turn me off, thanks for helping anyways.

    I'm using an AVIC Z3. It works great. Looks very clean in my car too.

    Kenwood does have a very clean look. As far a functionality the best that I have seen are the Pioneers.

    I pull more current, than you have horsepower!!

    Another clean looking one is the JVC KW-AVX720. Personally, I would go with the Kenwood out of all the choices with clean looks.

    No problem dude, I know that radios are a matter of functionality and personal preference. Looks-wise though, the Kenwoods do look good in the cars I've seen.

    For form and function go with Pioneer. If you want looks go with Alpine or Kenwood. Personally I like the Pioneer.
