I know this has been done to death, but just interested in knowing what the latest double din head units are like. I currently have a JVC KW-SD70BT which is ok, but am thiknig of upgrading to the Pioneer AVC 3600 DAB. I like the idea of DAB and touch screen as well as a better bluetooth (JVC isn't that great and Pioneer has a Parrot unit built in). Any other suggestions.

Via a strange set of circumstances I could always keep the JVC as it's not too bad and get something else to the value of the Pioneer if you see what I mean. In Monaro terms that gets not a lot I know, but any ideas anyone?

If you want DAB etc it'll be worth it. I have an AVIC F50BT in mine and the bluetooth is perfect in my experience.

Alpine also use parrot in their units, personally I prefer the Alpines. Just when I got the Pioneer it was a better unit than Alpine offered. Alpine now has better stuff out but they are a bit more expensive. An lower end ones require add on modules which bump the price up.

Think for lower and mid range double din you really can't go wrong with Pioneer.

This is the one I have in the Ro at the moment.

Installed my new Pioneer AVC-3600DAB this morning and am rather pleased with it. Haven't had chance to use it much yet so will see in the next week or so how it performs.

Thought I'd got away with having to reprogramme my steering wheel remote but it seems not....
