Pioneer AVH-P4000DVD.... not a UK model as such so RDS is out of the window but priced at $450 so fits the budget....

Pioneer USA - A/V Receivers

Am considering a DAB hideaway box and my ipod hooked up should more than suffice.

Anyone....?

 

looks good mate. let us know how you get on with it cause i have ipod hooked up to Pioneer DEH 6800 headunit and the ipod controls are so basic it's frustrating. So i am looking at double din touch screens but best i can find so far is this alpine one...

Will do mate.... Just emailed the guys in New York to see what else they could through in for me... Will post some pics if and when I get it in....

 

I am very interested in one of these!

If you end up buying one, have a play with it then let us know if its any good!

I reckon if it works out at under 300 quid delivered thats a bargain (thats a guesstimate btw)

Anyone else know of any touch screen bargains?

I have a classic so am open to motorised single din options too!

 

right.... Done some research and as it stands there is one major problem.... Region 1 code lock....!

Apparently there is no way to unlock or hack this unit so i can either go get it for 250ish from the USA or pick up a UK one for 375ish....

Second problem.... I've just found Pioneer's 'vehicle dynamics processor' and i seriously want one.... However it doesn't fit this model but does fit the 6000...

Now do i get the 6000 for 380ish plus VDP at around 150 or saves my monies and stick with a 4000 for consideraly less....!

Hmmm...

Take a look at VDP and you'll realise my problem.... Lol.

 

buy english, its easier and u know it will do right and fit....plus if it goes wrong you can send it to an english centre for repair etc

 

I hear what you're saying but it all comes down to the £$£$....

 

yes...but u get what you pay for! pay english...pay english warranty....speak to english helpers at shops, send to an english centre for repair....simple! i had a chinese make off ebay (dvd motorised screen) and the wiring was a pain, i know its not same situation as yours but i have finally bought a touch screen pioneer dvd player...sigh of relief, much better

look at this anyway, £368.00 delivered, also english! and NeW, or just bid to the reserve and see if u win it cheaper, look:
