There have been a number of posts regarding this, and the appearance of the dash board once the double din unit/ or head unit and 6 disc player below, has been changed for a single unit.

Does anyone have any opinions on the one in this link. Its a Kenwood. There is also a similar Alpine unit available.

to be realy honest DONT get one,

they look great in wen done and thats how it will stay, you cant remove the front panel or nothing,
i know of so many people that have bought this unit and had it nicked cos its on show all the time.

personaly i would go for a single motrized screen in the top slot with a dvd in the bottom slot so you can remove both front panels or put the dvd player in the boot. or if you want to spend that little bit more get an all in one motorized screen with a built in dvd player/radio/cd.

kenwood do one for around £600 all in, infact this one, a great bit of kit

Ive ben looking on ebay at these and there are loads of units with built in drives.

There are a few like but i dont know if they are going to be compatible with the stork controller in any way.

head unit

Andy, I take your point about removable face plate / stealth mode.

I like the first of the 2 units on ebay. Looks like an Alpine unit? Is it compatible with the steering wheel controls or is there a module to link between the two?

the screen will but the dvd player will not

 

[Guest]

How do you know wat size too get to fit it in the space below the head unit?

 

[cactusbob]

They are both standard sized slots I believe. Not sure about the fascia surrounds though

doesn't have GPS you get dvd player with a screen and GPS then you got GPS in your 225

 

[Guest]

ye thats wat i want 2 head units, one with the motorised screen that plays dvds the other the GPS box. Preferrably matching make and colour will see.

 

[Guest]

You know you can get one unit that does both? One unit with a screen and have gps and play dvd's etc...

[cactusbob]

I think with that Pioneer one you have to load the route you want from the DVD and then take it out if you want to play another disc whilst navigating. Sounds like a bit of a pain to me
