I am looking for suggestions for a double DIN HU with integrated bluetooth.........any suggestions? Thanks a lot. Additionally, I need three pre-outs, ipod compatible, etc. etc., etc.....I am guessing that anything that is bt integrated will have the other features that I am looking for. As a basis for comparison, I currently have a Pioneer Premier DEH-P730 (along with two RF amps, Infinity components, Alpine 6x9's and a Type R sub). The reason for the change is that I now have a different car (used to have a Teg and now I have a TL) and a double DIN would fit much cleaner than a single DIN - not to mention the fact that I want integrated BT.

 

Pioneer, alpine, kenwood. They all have dd radios that can be used with a bluetooth unit.

I am looking for some reviews/suggestions on specific units (with integrated bt, I don't want to buy adaptors, add-on's, etc.). Basically, I want something that will function like an OEM bluetooth (i.e. cut out radio when call comes through, voice dialing, utilized the screen, etc.) without any modification.

Thanks

 

It all depends on what phone you are using on what features you will get out of the bluetooth. Unfortunately it really isn't a universal connection.

Pioneers seem to have issues with windows type phones, not all but some.

I phones work with JVC and Alpine units. Have yet to try it on Pioneers as of yet. But they are only able to receive calls, and place calls through the phone. No phone book dump

 

Yes, you can load the phone book on to the pioneer raidos, Look at the avic-d3 if you want to go pioneer on a budget. But you need th newest bluetooth adapter for it. The older one had issues. I use the d3 and bluetooth units toghter with no problems.

 

what pdas have you got to work entirely with the D-3.

There is no way you can gurantee full bluetooth functions with every phone

 

I have used tha blackberry, dash, and I fogot what thi other high tech thing was.

 

Kenwood DDX-8019
3- 4v preouts
bluetooth (better than pioneer, and I own a pioneer with bluetooth)
I-pod (the best available it works at the highest menu on the ipod which means you can get to music videos and movies on your i-pod from the touch screen)
hard drive based nav with the most up to date mapping on the market (2 mos behind, pioneer is the 2nd closest at 1.5 yrs)
15% reverse tilt (to get rid of that glare)
brand new GUI for 2007 that is extremely user friendly
USB input built right in (a $200 option from pioneer)

Kenwood all the way, and I am a pioneer loyalist
