RE: Picking out head unit
Never heard of eclipse untill like today when I went to circuit city, never really used JVC but it was always something about it I didn't like. This is completley differen't but I remember almost buying a tv but I didn't when i found out it was JVC. I think it might of been someone in my family that told me that had a bad experience with JVC who knows.

RE: Picking out head unit
Pioneer is nice unless you got alot of bass. They will skip. Save and go with alpine. they are the best. I had 5 pioneers in mine and they skipped every time the bass hit. Alpine is easy to use and has some of the best sound quality. I have had more systems in my car than I can count and I like the way my alpine sounded with every set up I had. If you dont want to use cds Alpine now makes a head unit that is designed for the I-pod http://www.alpine-usa.com/US-en/prod...model=iDA-X300. It only plays I-pod no cds. Save and get something thats going to sound right.

I've had my 5 year old pioneer (one of the first XM ready units) in decibel ranges from 139 (lowest) to 145. And have had 0 skip issues.

RE: Picking out head unit
So I went ahead and got the basic Pioneer that ran for $104.99, they ended up having to put $75 dollars worth of parts in just so it could get hooked up. So I almost spent $200 all said in done, im happy with the head unit only thing is I haven't figured out how to set the clock and I wish it had some visual effects. But all I really wanted it for in the first place was to use my mp3 player and stop burning cds. They got it done in like a little under an hour probably because I was like the first person in car audio.

RE: Picking out head unit
what unit was it?
I used to install for CC for a living not to long ago.
Trying turning the unit off then holding like the clock button or the like options (i forget the technical term)
I do know you have to hold a button to get to the clock options though!
