    Is the Nitro a true double din? I sat in one Tuesday, looked like a din and a half

    pioneer has some good units for a lot less than $1000

    Amazon.com: Pioneer AVIC-X940BT In-Dash Navigation AV Receiver with 6.1" WVGA Touchscreen and Built-In Bluetooth: Car Electronics

    I'm only running the avh-2400bt, don't really care about navigation since a garmin is like $100 now with lifetime updates.

    We used to sell Pioneer until they started selling to Wal-Mart and quality went down the drain. I would recommend staying away from Pioneer.

    Dude they offered a line that is lower than what you carried to get a piece of that market. The non-walmart stuff is still good.

    Probably a stupid question, but why doesn't he just get a used mygig radio... it should be plug-n-play and has all the features he is look for. There a few on eBay for less than $1000 and he could probably get it cheaper on the dodge forums. They are actually a very nice set-up, I have one in the Challenger.

    What exactly defines quality in your mind? The 2400-bt unit I have has exceeded all of my expectations and has far better reviews than the Apline unit you posted.

    Now if we are going to get in an arguement similar as to why stereo shops will try to sell you monster cable then don't bother.

    I have a Kenwood 7160 DVD + Garmin. A lot of Pioneer folks leave and join Kenwood. They complain about the crappy navigation and unit freeze ups. Kenwoods are not perfect either. They are a little laggy but I'm totally happy with mine.
