Im probably going to get reamed for this one but... Does anyone know anything about those cheap double din headunits all over ebay like this one...

7" Double 2 Din 7" CAR IN DASH DVD CD PLAYER STEREO USB: eBay Motors (item 280559872548 end time Nov-07-10 20:34:38 PST)

I really dont want to spend a million dollars on a headunit. All I want is gps, dvd and ipod connection...

I know you usually get what you pay for and thats probably the case here but I just figured id ask to see if anyone has dealt with one of these before..

thanks in advance for any help you can give!

 

I know you don't want to hear this, but they are garbage. I bought a cheapie several years ago and the resolution on the screen was horrible, the audio processors absolutely sucked, basically it was a big pretty thing in the dash. Mine never actually made it into premanent install after I hooked it up to check it out....

At least get like a Clarion 500 or something. But if you want GPS, NAV, bluetooth, etc. you are going to have to pay to play, ie: alpine, pioneer, etc at around $1,000 each.

 

Thats what I was expecting to hear. . I just wanted to confirm. thanks man

 

Kenwood makes a few models that are $550.00 and under.

 

DUDE......... it's your birthday present to yourself. splurge!

 

I found a pioneer on craigslist that I am interested in.. It doesnt come with the antenna though.. can I use my factory antenna for it instead of buying one from pioneer?

 

may i ask how youve gone about getting a fascia to fit a double din system? really want to get some sort of gps/dvd player hooked up in mine but dont have a clue about having a fascia made up? thanks

 

I am custom making one and will be selling them. Should be a few weeks minimum.. Thats what you signed up for when you put ur name on the list lol

 

Haha I wrote that before I signed up on the other thread. Can't wait!

 

oh my bad I didnt look at the times

 

Depends on what the antenna is for. If it is for GPS, then no, if it is simply for the radio, more than likely.
