Nice. That’s a tough radio to get! It’s a good one. I’m sure you’ll love it. Check out Our review on it
ruclips.net/video/P627SU4poq4/видео.html. And make sure it run an hdmi cable for video input.
I Like pioneer which I have used for years because of the sound quality and I can download customize the background with logo's. Do the JVC and Kenwood do these. Nobody mentions that?
If I'm installing a Kenwood DMX957XR into a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee with factory sub/amp am I getting the advantage of the higher voltage preamps? I'll be connecting it through the factory harness with a Maestro RR. Thanks!

If my car is BMW and the subscription with Connected Drive has expired. Do you recommend wrapping the head unit with after market one? If so, what's available for car like BMW or Mercedes-Benz?
Can't wait for the day when we can set & save EQ settings for unlimited number of individual songs
Which system would you recommend for a 2018 Toyota Tundra
What's the digital to analog converter on Kenwood excelon head units??
I have an lexus ls400 1991 with after market pioneer speakers what would you recommend?
Sound is important? Compare to cheap are the sounds output same?
I dont know what HU to get. I have about $350 to spend but can go a little over budget. I want to get something that will last, is reliable, and just is all around good HU.
I have a Pioneer Headunit with a full Alpine system.
My neighbors say that I'm not the loudest, but have the cleanest sound.
You have apple or Android

if anyone has any suggestions let me know. i have a 2020 Corolla with 2 12” Zvx’s running on an svk2 4500 watt amp. also have an 800 watt 4 channel. Sound Quality and equalizer is main priority
Great video! Thanks for the advice, if only there were radios available. Due to this COVID and chip shortage, head units are hard to get ahold of. And when you do find one, they price gouging. I'm trying to get my hands on either a Pioneer or Kenwood with Android Auto, 4-5 volt pre output, and capacitive screen. In this order preferably without breaking the bank, possibly under $600.00.
Which would you consider? (Double Din that is......)
Not only that but the price went up
@@elroycooley398 absolutely right. The cheaper headunits cost as much as the best radios did when they were available. It's insane, I'm still trying to figure out how long until they are back in stock and I can finally get a nice headunit
@@JC_Cruz561 back in January of this year I bought a kenwood excelon dx,594 bt double din for 169 and last month I bought another one for my sentra it went up 30 extra dollars
@@elroycooley398 $30 is not that bad. These guys are raising the prices from a $399 radio to $600-$700
Im gonna send my miata to the year 3000 with this upgrade
What is the website to buy?
Ive been looking at these Teyes 10.1 HU for my jeep patriot 2017. How does that HU stack up to these? Is it worth installing??
You know honestly I’m not sure. Teyes is a brand that lots of people comment on. Not a huge android HU fan but for the money they’re not bad
Perfect timing! Looking for a new head unit for a ‘67 F100. Leaning toward the Alpine ILX-650... none available.
Yeah alpine hasn’t had those for a while. Normally they were $299 but raised the retail to $349 and we still can’t get them. I’ve seen them as high as $750 on Amazon!!!! I like that radio at $300-$350 but $750. No way!! We have several hundred on order but there is no ETA so maybe look at JVC or Sony. Their stock is better then most
@@BreakersStereo thanks for all the info. Love the videos. Waiting for the speaker & amp videos.
Which would be the best option for a Honda accord coupe 2012? Please help!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Try the Pioneer DMH-1500NEX that’s a good one and it’s available
@@BreakersStereowhich one is more good from alpine ilx 702d vs pioneer avh 2550nex?
What would you recommend I only need the first 3 or 4 you mentioned the first 3 are my main concern please hit me back
Kenwood Ddx9707s or the JVC KW-M865BW
Hello I wanted a head unit 10 inch or better double din that is large with CarPlay and support Rearview Camera for a Dodge promaster Van 2021. any suggestions?
JVC or Kenwood but I’m they are tough to find right now
La verda e tenido varias marcas de estéreo y todos nomas funcionan un rato en Android auto o iPhone y se desconectan
I just need to know where I can find the jvc deck
Naytt, it’s tough to find JVC right now … you got to keep searching but they are slowing being released just be patient.
i need to upgrade my 4" tiny 2017 mustang 🤷🏾♂️
I need a head unit doble din but with a center channel output.
I don’t know of any that do. But if you need a center channel you can use a processor after the radio to achieve that.
Mario,
Your best bet for overall performance would be the Sony XAV-AX7000, though note that your speakers will need to be able to handle the 4x100 RMS it puts out.
If you want/need CD/DVD playback, the Sony doesn't have it, so I'd aim you towards the Kenwood DDX6906S. This would be my "personal" selection, as it also offers Digital Time Alignment (which is a blessing).
If you're just looking for the cheapest model to get you by, there's the Sony XAV-AX1000.
Alternatively, adding an upmixer should give you the ability to "add" a center channel, regardless of what HU you buy, but that may not be the most economical way to go about things.
I just want CarPlay on my 2014 f150
I got a 2006 Toyota Camry SE V6 with the JBL sound system what would be a good stereo for me?
Do you want wirless carplay/ android auto or wired. (Wireless is much more thou..)
@@BreakersStereo I would prefer wireless but wired is fine
The kenwood 10.1 doesn't support auto play
Can I keep a factory subwoofer with an aftermarket stereo?
Depends on the car… what do you have?
2011 expedition and I got an alpine double din stereo
I honestly think that 4x40w really is all you need these days. Amps.....crossovers....subs...meh. Just get a 4x40 from a reputable brand (usual suspects, Sony, Kenwood, JVC etc) or push the boat out and get a 4x50 and be done with. Most cost effective and don't really need much more.
Inside cars have become much more refined from the fiestas and escorts from yesteryear and road noise doesn't need to be over come for most of us. Just get an android head unit and don't waste your money on anything more. It's not worth the expense.
Why installers keep telling me they won't install an Android head unit
@@analazcano6475 Because they are crap and break easily. And when a brand new installed system breaks guess who they blame??
What system of car stereo
Hi sir, can you advice me under 500$ any good stereo which have wireless android auto ? Android stereo vs Normal stereo which have android auto which will be better ? Thanks
That’s a tough price point. Nothing in a name brand look at the boss or Jensen both of those are under $500
Can anybody let mi know of some double Dins that have a detachable face
i use kenwood fr 10 yrs its reliable nd sounds good they r using panasonic processor i open bcz of coin went inside 😂😂
I need help what can I get on Honda Accord 2017 lx
We got you. Give a call at 805-486-8307 and any of the sale pros will answer all of your questions
Would anybody know if the Sony XAV-AX5600 has a capacitive touch screen?
I have one and believe it does. It’s quick and responsive
24 Bit/192 kHz is not needed for most music files and it says nothing about the quality of the DAC itself. More important is a digital output if you want to use a DSP. But you have to omit this feature because most of the headunits, especially from the traditional brands don't have one. And I guess you sell only these headunits...
Good point. I went on his website and could find no reference to the 24 bit/192 kHz “feature”. Nor could I find it on amazon or crutch-field.
I recently went from a 4v pre output head unit to a 2v head unit and the bass isn't as loud even with the gain adjusted up on my taramps smart 3k I've tried everything on the head units eq and I cannot get it to sound the same
AudioControl Matrix Plus 6 Channel 13 Volt 24dB Gain Line Driver 🙃
Why limit yourself with a hu when you can tablet?
Give us five models you would recommend my guy
What’s your preference without spending $1500 on a radio
Double din or floating panel??
Floating
In today's world you buy what you can find when looking for a head unit.
So true!! But there are some out there…
The louder the beater: the smaller the peter. Same mentality as a big gorilla beating on a rusty old gas can to seem bigger to the other gorillas. Last time I checked a 2 year old can twist a dial to the right.
didn't even discuss brands
...and the stereo is $1000
Many ways to screw up your sound.
Do not buy any Pioneer products. I purchased a brand new AVH-W4500NEX Double Din Head Unit in May of 2020. By the beginning of August 2021, the head unit froze and went into a constant boot screen. Pioneer used the cheapest SD cards they could in these "top of the line" units, and after about a year (right past the 1 year manufacturers warranty) the SD card becomes corrupt rendering the head unit useless. You can either pay Pioneer almost $200 to fix it, or buy another unit. They will not help in any way. My head unit was almost $700, and lasted just over a year. The issue is widely known and Pioneer refuses to do anything about it besides charge you to fix their mistakes after purchasing a "top of the line" head unit. Multiple models are affected.
You can buy a replacement Sd card and replace the internal card in the unit now
