Is Eclipse a good brand though? I see it at Walmart and stuff..
Sorry if I'm ignorant to the different brands, I just wonder, cause others like Sony, Pioneer, Kenwood, etc. are always advertised.

oreoremix42

What the model on that one? I checked it on ebay exactly the way you had it nothing showed up. Thanks for the info on that one. Have you had any experience with it?

jobunaga

my bad... it's the eclipse avn726e.

eclipse has amazing audio quality. it's made by fujitsu ten which is partially owned by toyota. pioneer emphasizes looks over sound. sony shouldn't make car audio equipment.

randomsuper

i love my pioneer d3. it's a great radio for the money but i will agree that the sound quality leaves something to be desired. i had to throw on a clarion eq to really make the adjustments i needed. i'd still recommend it highly though.

oreoremix42

Do you know of any other good eclipse dble dins?

oreoremix42

What do you think about alpine as far as sound qaulity?

randomsuper

alpine has amazing sound quality. they make the best head units imo.

x2 on eclipse or alpine, i prefer alpine on single dins

jobunaga

i've got to admit that the aesthetics of pioneer and alpine are far better than eclipse. but when it comes to sound quality eclipse has both pioneer and alpine beat dollar for dollar hands down.

what is the best head unit to control an Ipod with?

the stock interface just sucks *****, how am I supposed to hold that button down and perfectly still that long! while driving!

and why does it go back to the begining instead of backing out of whats being played.

like, if I play something in the M's. i want ot exit to the M's. not go all the way back to A!

i have 500 plus artists! i need to look at the road!

Pioneer's new AVIC-Z110BT is hands down one of the most bad ace head units on the market. Voice activated everything and super fast ipod controll. What more could you ask for. Only thing that sucks is the $1700 price tag

oreoremix42

What do you guys think about this headunit?

Nice to look at and has a lot of other things I want in my headunit.

The 3100 is a great radio but for the money you might as well step up to the 4100. I have the 4100 in my car and I LOVE IT!! The output on the pre amps are great and also the Parametric eq is really nice

udanijo

when it comes to iPod control, everyone's going to have their preference. I personally think that Kenwwod has the better iPod control. Eclipse is a very reputable brand. I've owned their decks/amps/speakers. Very good. Your best bet is to go into an audio shop for a demo

oreoremix42

What did you pay for yours? I have found a few 3100 for roughly 320ish on ebay.

bignoog

I sell car audio so I got mine at cost. Normal going price is in the 450 range for the 4100. Try sonicelectronix.com

oreoremix42

I actually found a good bunch in the 300 range. on ebay

oreoremix42

I found a pioneer avh-4000dvd at best buy for 250. Only thing is it was returned. Is there any rule that if it doesn't work I can return it? Or any warrenty at all on them?
