    Well I guess I could think about a double din too. That's what I originally wanted anyway. Opinions and pictures of those too! :D

    Wait and get a dual din dvd, I love mine! Seriously I vote save for a couple months and have an awesome stereo you'll really really enjoy! I paid 590 installed with steering wheel controls and rear camera through the deck. Love it! Pioneer stereo/dvd was 449. at my local stereo shop.

    I've got a clarion cx501 that I really like. It's double DIN which IMO looks a lot better, but is as cheap as a lot of single DIN units.

    You must be pretty close to me...Crutchfield is about 2.5 hours away from where I live. :D I've been using them for years now.


    This is the one I installed in my Tacoma. First ever Kenwood I have purchased. I have always been partial to Alpine. But with the features (loads of options), reviews and price of this unit, I couldn't pass it up. I liked it so much my wife ended up buying me a similar deck (but cheaper model) for my beater Honda Accord.
