I like the look of that!

Here's a single DIN that I like the looks of. Around $200 on ebay: Kenwood KDC-BT952HD CD receiver at Crutchfield.com

 

That's not bad. Anything particular you do or do not want? By that I mean function wise, rotary ****...etc etc etc

 

do you want USB, all your connections on the back, solid faceplate, or one where the the cd slot is visible?

imo, I would mod my dash for DD if I were to pay that much for a single din

 

Thanks for all the help man. That Kenwood you posted looks good. Ideally I'd have the aux and USB ports in the rear so I can hard wire them into the console or something. Having the hidden CD slot is looks good too. The less clutter on the front the better. A full touchscreen would be badass but not worth it unless it's a DD like you said.

Do you know if the USB option allows me to play music from a USB device like a flash drive or SD card? Or is it only for charging or for iPods?

 

Yes, you can. My DD has the SD slot and USB, but I have never used them. I run Pandora most of the time.

I agree, the motorized decks look better, but I just had dicking with waiting for it to drop down, then load the disc. This is all personal preference though. If my HU hadn't been given to me for free, I wouldn't have ran it as my first choice, I wish the aux was in the rear as well!

You can only play the SD car if you have the slot, unless there is a USB/SD contraption I haven't seen before.

 

There's a SD to usb adapter, I have one for my digital camera. Crutchfield says the kenwood unit will play from flash drives... badass.

 

I've used a flash drive before, was a long *** time ago though when it was first integrated into HU's.

 

With my last one. I got rid of the CD entirely and went to an Ipod reciever. Only real con I've come up with is that the faceplate isn't removable. I ran the Ipod cable to my fuse panel for easy access to pull the Ipod out and add music, and also, it's completely hidden.
