took the stock head out of my Honda and replaced it with a Sony
Dealer told me the stock was a Clarion and it still worked 100% but the wifey wanted something MP3 Ipood compatible

Blazer has already been swaped out by the P.O to a Sony as well

I had a kenwood eXcelon in my blazer and I loved all the settings, and the usb port was a plus as well.

Pioneer all the way. I have always used them, and they are very reliable, and very well priced.

Pioneer. Aux/USB/Tuner/CD and has a cool race car theme as a background. Plus all the settings make it wayyyy better than stock.

I've got this one! Its nothing fancy but then again I just turn on 98.7(that's our local country station for you non locals lol) and go so I don't care about all the settings and things (even though its got a few) It is satelite radio ready (not that I use that either) and the usb port on the front allows you to plug in an ipod/iphone and control it from the radio (I don't use this either but the wife and boy do). For me it gets the job done

Oh and if you want to see it just come look at it lol!

Used to have and use Pioneer's the most, however after having issues with multiple HU's having noise in the RCA's due to the pico fuse blowing I made a move to Kenwood excelon units. I currently have a KDC-X991 in my wifes minivan and a KDC-X492 in my Jimmy. Both have been rock solid units with good features and great SQ. I also just got a hell of a deal on a Clarion CZ702 I'm going to try out. What sets it apart from the Kenwood's I'm currently using is it's two or three way active capability, the most versatile crossovers and EQ settings I've seen in years and DTA which my KDC-X492 does not have. I'm also looking at the new KDC-X996 which is just as powerful as the CZ702 with a little easier to use DTA. The KDC-X996 has more EQ channels (13 to the CZ702's 5) but they're not as versatile and the CZ702 has far more adjustability on the crossovers.
