I want a really good audio head unit with a double din touchscreen. I am going to use a GARMIN NUVI 680 for nav etc, so my main considerations are good sound quality, easy to use touchscreen, ipod control, etc.

 

pioneer, alpine wins my vote

 

Pioneer D3 or Alpine W200.

 

Alpine W200

 

Kenwood Execelon is best for SQ. The Alpine W 200 doesn't even have any hp or lp filters. Price wise the kenwoods not cheap but it is the best for SQ.

 

how do the eclipse 5v preout's perform compared to the others?

i have a w200 and pxa h701 once tuned it sounds remarkable..

 

Alpine is going to give better SQ then Kenwood, Eclipse, or Pioneer, even though it doesnt have hp or lp filters
