Req: Head unit suggestions. - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

I've got a Panasonic deck (CQDVD7001U), which is a 1 DIN DVD player with a 7 inch screen. It isn't the fanciest looking deck (like the alpine style better), (actually everything else in my system is Alpine), but the Panasonic had the best features for the price. An Alpine DVD player didn't include surround capability without buying a decoder or a fancy Alpine amp.

I'd totally upgrade to a new Panasonic deck if it had a five channel digital amp.

I have a Blaupunkt 4 channel digital amp. One of the "Plastic Amps" PA4100. I've never actually hooked it up before. I'm looking for a double din toyota deck with RCA outs for my Blaupunkt. 100X4

I'm glad I'm not the only Panny believer out there!

the only double din panny decks are the indash touch screen ones thats all that i have seen so far, i think panny likes to use the single din since it can apply to more vehicles.

yes it is still available, it sounds really clean, no distortion, i love it, i thought it was kind of costly at first but i found it at a good price, totally worth it imo.

here's where i got it from,

not a bad deal for 242.00, fast shipping and great warranty from them.
