I moved it to this section as I think it's better here and general is already full of topics

As for an advice, I really don't know.. I was searching for a good MP3 player for my car too, but before it I have to change the suspensions

Pioneer makes quality stuff.
Clarion however makes some really crappy stuff. Every device I've had from them has broken. A friend had one of their Car CD players, it crapped out a month after buying it. Had to send it in, and wait a month for them to tell him it's garbage.

What about JVC,they where the first people to make MP3 headunits.I been told they are good....

My sister and a friend both have a JVC radio (no mp3, though) and they both had to bring it back to the store for repair. Although it was repaired under warranty in both cases, I will never ever consider to buy JVC. Just imagine it breaks two days after warranty expires... My friend also says the sound isn't as good as a Pioneer.

There is Alpine,I own an Alpine head deck,and for the last 1 year,it hasn't let me down.bit more expensive,but the sound quality is awesome.

well I went into the shop to buy the pioneer and I saw an alipne one there which had more features, better build quality and almost HALF the price of the pioneer! Naturally I bought it and it rocks hard!

I like my Alpine, does MP3 and WMA. I love it.

[heath]

yeh its probably the same model I've got no doubt...or a similar one atleast...

[Sinister Angel]

Is it the 9807?

[graywolf624]

I own kenwoods kdx mp3 player. The price isnt bad and the options are pretty numerous. I would highly recommend it for a mid level mp3 player.

I have JVC KDSH99
looks amazing and matches great with my rsx interior.
also, when switching songs its faster then some kenwood and alpine models.

here's a link to wat it looks like

I'd go with the pioneer..I have a P-7400MP with the little cool organic dislplay thingie...it has never let me down...I've had it for two years now...and I got it pretty cheap on the net...it retailed like US$375 in Best Buy...and I got it for like US$246 on some online store...

I have a Pioneer DEH-5500MP. And I don't have to complain about it. It plays mp3's nicely and sounds well with proper speakers. But I think the reception isn't always good. Sometimes the sound is less clear, although it may be cause by my antenna. I dunno.
There is something else that bothers me a bit: it has to much gismo's I don't use and it is a bit to flashy.

Normally I would go for the DEH-P77MP, but my budget wasn't that big




I don't have any experience with the other mp3-headunits, but I can always ask acquaintance of me who has a lot of expercience in this field

[gottacatchup]

alpine has some of the best quality but you definately pay for it
my brother has a pioneer premier sounds great
