Coors Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 Looking to replace my stock double din head unit with a single din. Reason being so I can mount a CB below it in the empty space. Any car stereo gurus out there have a recommendation on brand/model of what I should get? I don't need anything too fancy. I won't be running amps or subs.

bp9801 Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 I've been running the same Pioneer head unit for the last 8 years or so, never had an issue with it at all. I like Pioneer, but there are others who go for Alpine or Sony or the like. Are there any certain features you want/need with it?

Coors Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 Not really. I do subscribe to Pandora so i'm looking at some that have Pandora functionality built in. Also right now looking at "digital media receivers". I almost never use CDs anymore so figured I could save some space and I guess they produce less heat? Could be good for having the CB right below it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onion Posted June 8, 2013 Posted June 8, 2013 (edited) I've got a nice head that I pulled from my Mustang right before it went to the wrecking yard. I had just put it in a couple months prior to my accident, its a Kenwood, and don't have the model handy right now. It cost me $150, and I'd be willing to let it go cheap since I don't plan on installing a radio and sound system in my Datsun. PM me if you're interested. Its quite nice, comes with all the fancy HD radio and USB stuff. I used to just have a 16 gig flash drive plugged into it and just had all my music on there.

Onion Posted June 8, 2013 Posted June 8, 2013 (edited) Here it is. Discontinued, but it was still on sale under a year ago. It also does Pandora like you wanted. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007K3BPAO Edited June 8, 2013 by Onion Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted June 9, 2013 Posted June 9, 2013 Do you have an iPhone to stream Pandora? I have this one: http://www.amazon.com/Kenwood-KDC155U-Car-Cd-Player/dp/B00AM5JTB4 in my Miata. I only use it for USB playback (WMA/MP3) and feed the line-out to an amplifier now but when I used it to directly drive my speakers it performed well enough.

If they produce less heat that will help with also having a CB right below it I think. And since I hardly even use CDs anymore it'll just get dirty and dusty...and possibly even muddy lol.

I ended up never using it, lol. I'd die if my car was covered in mud like that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
