I've got a new motorhome on order and decided not to have the optional media player fitted.

Have been looking thro' the various offerings from Pioneer, Kenwood, Alpine, JVC and Sony.

I need a good quality amp as it will be playing when parked up on a campsite plus we want to connect the TV thro' the amp to use the better speakers in the living area. I must be able to plug in my iPad as this will be my Sat Nav. Also need a connection to my iPhone and an input for my USB hard drive which has all my music in FLAC format.

CarPlay sounds good, don't really need a CD/DVD drive also want DAB radio.

Out of all the products the Pioneer AVH-8800BT comes closest to my wish list, but is the sound quality any good?

Also notice that they have a GPS antenna socket. Does this mean that the unit has a GPS module? Can't find any details on its specification on the Pioneer website.

Any recommendations?
