I've been casually searching for a few months now, for a new head unit for my Fleetwood. I already have the proper tuner bypass harness, and am ready in that regard, but just can't decide on a head unit.
For the longest time, I thought a double-din CD/cassette unit as close to the factory appearance--and larger buttons & such--would look the best and be what I wanted. And top in that ranking for me was the JVC KW-XC410, their latest double din CD/cassette that's Sat ready and has an Aux. jack right on the face (the latter pretty important to me in doing such a swap).
BUT, the more I research and more I think about it, I'm still not sure what to get. I know of another person with an older double-din JVC in their Fleetwood that they loved, but still am not sure.
I also just went by Best Buy, just to see what they had so I could actually play with a bunch of different brands & models in person, and am now even less sure.
Don't want to spend extreme bucks--if I do, it's going to be a system with Nav, and that's not in the budget yet--but want the best quality I can get, and also something that doesn't look and feel like a toy for $200 or under. Open to single dins now too, after looking at some, but again, not sure. In person, I actually liked the feel and look of some Kenwoods and Sonys the best, followed by Alpines and JVCs, but none were really that much of a standout.
Any suggestions on brand/model to steer towards or stay away from?
