Hey theres one at Wal Mart screaming your name!

[cherrington17]

ouch! :lol:

if you want a screen you could do a carputer. i think 2fst4u is one of the only ones left that has one....

[itsbmw]

Walmart or ebay. Look for a factory navigation headunit I think i saw one for 350.

[shiny alero]

that jensen at walmart isnt that bad. my buddy has had one for over 3 years now

[Ryan from Ohio]

They have a GPS one there... Thats what i was talking about.

Beauty is you can try it for 30 days before your committed to it... lol Always can return for full refund.

That kenwood HU a member on here has...I think it is telcart with the buick..anyway that one is very nice, and I wouldn't mind having one.

I was looking into these a while ago as well. I was over at walmart and was looking at both the "Jensen" and the "Dual". I did some research on the two and if you do wind up going with one of those two models DO NOT go with the Dual. From the reviews I've read they aren't very responsive. I dont know about you but when Im driving i dont want to be pounding on a screen because its not picking up the touch.

Hey if your on my board put up a WTB.

I know Mike (Cargodz) and Terry (smoker) are both dealers and have a lot of options for equipment. You might just get a decent deal.

depends on the speaker. don't just go buying stuff, until you do a little research and know its a good buy. (there are absolutely sh*t speakers that are a waste of money, on the market)

and go back to the forum for new members and watch the stickied video... it'll show you how to post, and when to post.

[lonnie]

I'll tell you what though I really like the Kenwood double din but I'm leaning back towards the flip out just because I like having the storage space at the bottom, and thats where my mp3 player input is mounted which I couldn't live with out.

[Ryan from Ohio]

Dont buy kenwood crap.

Terry (smoker) on my board could get you a deal on a flipout... With a warranty...

well I ordered the jensen tonight :yahoo:

final cost $346.13 shipped and insured. not a bad deal I think

[Alerosaint]

Pretty good looking head unit and nice feature set list...gonna look sweet in the ole dash

[Midgear]

350 bucks for a head unit.. wonder if it fits? :lol:

what's "double din" mean.. never heard that before

[cherrington17]

the small, rectagular headunits are single din. "double din" means it takes up the full space our factory headunit sits in.

oooo.. thanks for that bit of information- now I'm gonna start looking for one :lol:

any that cost less than 350 bucks?

[cherrington17]

they usually look like crap... but yes.

I have read meny reviews and for the money people say the jensen is the best bang for your buck. good features and upgradeable. I had a 10% off code for ebay so the actual price was $381.00 cheapest I found retail was 400 + and that was for a off brand at circut city. we will see I will let every one know how its working. ;)
