I'm looking for ideas for an aftermarket stereo and wanted to see some pics of the different setups everyone had. Also, any input into which systems you prefer and why. I'm not much of a car audio person, but have been thinking about upgrading to something with a nice touch screen and the more oem it looks, the better. Thanks everyone!

I've had several units in my car , the first picture is of the Pioneer DVD player I had for a while. I liked it a lot , but I really wanted to move my gauges to the center console so I got a single din Kenwood unit and the SOS gauge pod. I only used the DVD a couple of times when I first got the unit , so I don't really miss it much ...

Here's a few pics of the Pioneer AVIC-D3 DVD / NAV.

 

Thanks for posting the pics everyone. They all look good! So far, I'm leaning towards the Pioneer. I like that it is mostly black, so it "hides" a little better. For those of you with the gauges installed, that's sharp, I hadn't seen that setup before and honestly made me have to think for a second on which direction I want to go. However, at the end of the day, I think I want the larger screen for nav. I did do a little more research and have been thinking a little about the Pioneer Z110BT or Z120BT as well.

 

I have a Kenwood ddx812. Its a double din unit ive added Kenwood navigation, The unit itself has built in bluetooth and Ive addded the adapter to control my Ipod touch. The ddx812 also has a usb port so that you can add a custom screen saver or a thumb drive. The finish of the unit is gloss black. Ill post some pictures for you.

 

Cool. Thanks Kevin. Lookin' forward to seeing the pics.

 

Ok everyone has nice aftermarket steros. But my question is do they work well with the shaker 500 amp

 

I'm not a 'sound' guy, but I think it sounds alot better sense I put in the Pioneer HU.

 

Pioneer AVH-3200DVD





I like it except the front mounted USB so I dremeled a recess in the Metra kit and ran the iPod cable underneath and over to my mount. It's a really nice unit for the price if you don't have to have navigation. I also added the Shelby Kicker door subs and some KS-680 6x8's in all 4 speaker locations. Nice upgrade for the price and those Kicker door subs hit pretty hard!

taMatt27,

That's awesome, love it! I don't imagine you have a write up do you?

Also, what did you do for the info/setup/reset buttons, etc.?
