Hello,

I own a 2001 Honda Prelude and I have some pioneer deck from like 4 years ago been switching it from car to car.
I'd like to upgrade to a in dash gps/stereo ditch my portable tom tom and old headunit.

Any opinions on which I should get budget is preferred around 500.

But if I can go cheaper I will or cost a bit more I wll to,

Just looking for knowledge.

ive had about 4 different ones now and ive hated them all.. takes too long to navigate around menus and the touch screens arwnt very responsive.. if u do buy one make sure it has a remote.. I have a regulare head unit and cut a hole in my dash to fit my navi. much much nicer

Hm, thanks for the advice I've played around with them in local shops but I've never had a chance to actually use one in someones car besides the brand new factory installed ones.

Any others have any advice on it?

Kenwood is the best. JVC is on a similar level. We sell Jensen and don't have any problems with them.

Any opinions on Pioneer (current head unit and it's lasted and still looks great works great)

e// that one on amazon doesn't ship to Canada.

Pioneer's older H/Us and subs are great but not so much anymore.
I've installed a few Pioneer TV decks and they work just as good as any other TV deck.

Just avoid no-names like Oku, Farenhiet, Million, Lanzar, Pyle ect.
