Whats a good one thats price good. i want something with cool features, that wont leave me poor.

Do they hook up the same way as a regular head unit?

 

some do some have a separate brain boxes. my alpine one in my truck is a 1 piece unit.

only downfall about a USED 1din flip out unit is alot of people or there friends like to touch or try to manually close the units or they dont install the units to clear the dash. my truck when i installed mine had interference with the dash when i first put it in.... i had to get a different dash kit to space it out some.
its very bad for there flip out motors and gears!!!! i stoped mine quickly but im sure it wasnt good for the unit.


basically im saying for the longest lasting unit.... buy it new. i bought mine from ebay for about 700-800 bucks.
if you look for a used one you can get it for 300-500bucks range. just be sure its a good brand! cheap name brand monitors suck! i used to buy cheap monitors and if you tilted your head slightly the picture would look all crazy from crappy viewing angles.

 

i think im getting a pioneer , they have alot of madelsd to pic from. pioneer a good long lasting brand?
Ill update the thread in a couple weeks when i have the money and on what model it will be down to. you get what i pay for, im looking at around $450 new on Ebay. i want one with a screen saver and 4v or higher preamps.

 

I have a Pioneer Avic-7000bt and love it. Got it off of Ebay for $450 brand new. Has everything except DVD playback. I keep wishing I went back and bought the Avic-9000bt (same thing, but with dvd playback) so I could throw in a Thomas the Tank Engine movie for my son when he doesn't feel like being in the car.

Wanna buy mine? lol

Edit - Whoops, just saw that you were looking for a single DIN. The Pioneers I listed above are both Double Dins.

 

well if he upgrades to 99-00 electronic ac/heat system and center bezel then you can rock a double din unit

 

Would that be a plug n play set up, just a diffrent face?
im removing my AC, so i dont need that option.

 

i bought my jensen flip out 2 years ago used for $150 bucks and its still mint evan after a roll over accident they are exceptionally well built . but the onley thing i dont like is the lack of gps.

best to change the whole dash also BUT i did i just have my center bezel zip tied in. the dash from the parts vehicle at the yard didnt match.

 

Whats with the parking brake thing? i cant use dvd when driving?

 

hell no.... your not supposed to be able to on ANY UNIT LEGALLY!!!!!

but they do sell bypass kits. i have a bypass on my alpine unit that is automatic all the time. so i can watch dvds any time i want.
some people just use toggle switches to flick the ground code to the unit. but IMO just buy a bypass unit and let it do all the work.
