Red face Getting ready to get a DOUBLE DIN touch screen player, NEED INPUT!

I found 4 players that i had in mind, they are pretty cheap but i need to choose one and perhaps get some good suggestions on which ones to stay away from

I'd ask CTScott to look at these. He seems to be extremely knowledgeable when it comes to electronics.

I say save your money and get a better known brand. In many cases you get what you pay for. I have a Kenwood and love it. Others will say JVC, Alpine etc.... Don't rush into it and do your research. Figure out your needs. Porn in car, MP3's Nav Etc... Just my Opinion. Good luck.

You definitely get what you pay for. I agree with staying with a name brand. I have experience (bad) with Pyle. I have a single DIN Pyle DVD player in my Xterra and it is an absolute piece of junk.

Do some googling and see if you can find reviews of them.

I would choose keeping my 300 bucks. Seriously dude You can pay 300 bucks for one that will work half ass and break after 3 months, or you can pay 600-700 for something that is "decent"

I would rather drive around with a battery operated boombox than waste my money on some knock-off ebay crap.

Being someone who has sold car audio equipment in the past, I'd say avoid all of these choices. Go with a real name, save your money and get something of value. My experience has been that Pioneer is the top brand to go with.

As others have said, you'll get what you pay for.
