Scoobyboy:
I have checked out most people in the know go for alpine, ie most installers recommend.
My daughter had a fault with her Kenwood, kept increasing volume, etc
I had a dam good look round for her, for £144.50 inc VAT, a Pioneer DEHP5600MP takes some beating.
Sounds nice, nothing to fancy in the way of stupid graphics, and it’s got MP3 playback.
You can't seem to get a good deal on an alpine, but the others have to try that bit harder to sell.
The thought presses:
How long do I sit listening to it?
How Noisy is my Car?
Do I want graphics?
Do I need MP3?
How good is the speaker system?
My answers were:
Not long
Very
No
Yes
Average after upgrade?
After going to the NBO and Thorsby Park car shows, I noticed few Scooby owners were bothered even upgrading from the basic system.
Any thoughts?
