Aftermarket touch screen head unit?
 
I already searched...:anger:

Eventually im looking at replacing my radio and get a touch screen unit.
Now i know im going to have to get a new cover.

What is a good radio that isnt a slide out.
I think im trying to look into a full screen touch radio.
One needs to have dvd player, AUX port, Mp3 format.

i want it to be nice.

anyone have a nice full screen touch radio?

Give me some opinions on good radios.


Price is deff a problem too.

bumpp...a little help would be nice.

ZumnRx8 04-17-2010 05:06 PM

So much info already floating around , search for double din

ShellDude 04-17-2010 07:24 PM

Try "jdm nav", "carpc", "carputer", and "metra"

Should pretty much cover the whole spectrum... searched my a$$ :)

there is a ton of great choices for touchscreen headunits. i actually decided to go with the eclipse avn726. its a great screen the only thing i would let you know is that if your going with a navigation unit, its bit low so its hard to keep your eyes on the road and take a look at it.. its not very clear but will take better pics if you want a better view.

pioneer makes a good line of the headunit that you describe. In case you don't want to search, you are looking for a double-din style headunit that has a touchscreen and in order for it to work in an RX8(for the most part) you will need to buy the metra kit for the rx8 which has most of the necessary cables, adapters, and instructions that you need. I have the pioneer avh-p4100 headunit and it is really nice and works well with my ipod

ZumnRx8 04-18-2010 08:06 PM

Same as me ^^^ many ppl had/ have that one really great for those that already have stock Navigation

firebirdude 04-18-2010 09:49 PM

Pioneer. Competitively priced. Voted easiest to use navigation.

MarcMiller 04-18-2010 10:28 PM

im not looking for a nav system...i think if i get one without a nav system it will be alot cheaper.

im looking for something nice and resonable.

firebirdude 04-18-2010 10:46 PM

lol well they make plenty of them too!

AVH-3200BT comes with built in bluetooth.

The 4200 is a little more money AND doesn't have bluetooth.... but has a slightly larger screen.

When i replace the radio im going to need a new cover that it'll fit in. The ac and heat controls and all too.

firebirdude 04-19-2010 09:54 AM

Metra 95-7510HG
is all you need.

My vote sticks with the 3200BT. Outstanding deal with built in bluetooth.

Is it worth getting a pioneer P4200 if I have the Bose system? I would like to add the unit but i'm not sure if the bose speakers will connect fully with the touchscreen...any ideas?

I told you what the differences were. The 4200 does have a larger screen, but it does not have built-in bluetooth. Bose or no Bose. It doesn't matter which you choose. They will both work great once you use the Metra kit.

Thanks, I wasn't concerned with the model differences but rather the compatibility with the extra bose speakers. Last question, if I get the 4100/4200 and the metra kit, will the steering wheel controls still work to change songs and volume?

i have a pioneer x910bt and i love it. it has navigation which you said you don't need but good luck finding a large selection with your criteria without navigation. i think that will severely limit your options.

No. You will need to purchase the PAC SWI-PS as well. Anytime you remove the factory radio in any car, you lose steering wheel controls. The PAC module brings em back.:)

pioneer with bluetooth. i love it i flush mounted the mic for the bluetooth in the little kick panel next to dsc. in the trunk its a JL W3 size 13.5" with a JL 500/v2 amp. i burped a 110 in an spl contest at a car show so its not quiet lol its also really light the whole setup weighs about 25 lbs

RX8Geek 04-23-2010 02:28 PM

SWC controls
 
Try the Metra ASWC for the steering wheel controls. No programming, it automatically recognizes the RX8 controls, recognizes the radio, and maps the buttons for you (you can re-map them if you want to). No lag time, either. Just make sure that the radio has a wired SWC input.:rock:

firebirdude 04-23-2010 10:15 PM

Which all Pioneers do. Even the cheap $89 ones.
