Silver Member Username: DurskiPost Number: 237 Registered: Nov-06 | ./cry yeah it seems for around 140 - 170 a JVC will get the job done... I'd really like a P690UB ~ $210 shipped new, but i've got a bad case of CarAudioSyndrome - I spent too much already... |

Get the "AR" one, KD-AR880. They are $125 new on ebay. The arsenal series HUs are good, the regular JVC ones are not so good. |

Silver Member Username: DurskiPost Number: 238 Registered: Nov-06 | wow I thought pioneer premier > JVC AND please link the $125 AR-880, I'd buy it right now but All I can find on ebay is $150 sale + 20 ship = JVC AR-880 for $170, so I figure i might as well spend $40 extra to get the 690ub from a site BNIB. MS I know that 880 is the one you use, and i've seen a picture of it with a usb drive in it, can you tell me if it does 2 or 3 line display when browsing music on the thumb drive? Also does it have a power meter? (not as important as 3 line display) |

Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 5914 Registered: Jul-06 | Fukkk....... they used to be on ebay for $125 + shipping It has 3 lines Folder, track number, time = line 1 Artist/album = line 2 Song name = line 3 Clock and stuff off to the side No voltmeter..... those HU built in ones are usually not accurate anyways. IMO any good brand > pioneer...... every HU problem I come across, 9 out of 10 times it's a damn pioneer....... |

It was only $100 at Best Buy. It was even setup for a Bluetooth adaptor. Not as fancy as the Alpine I just bought, but certianally good enough for a driver. |

Bronze Member Username: ProstreetamxLas Vegas, NV United States Post Number: 13 Registered: May-07 | When you've only got $100 to spend, your really not into the high end teritory. I dumped over $1600 into my Alpine equipment for another car but wasn't about to dump serious money into the daily driver beater. The dual unit worked just fine for the money with factory speakers and I was able to use my MP3 player also. Quick,easy,cheap. It's not always about how much money you spend. They have come a long way since the Kraco, Sparkamatic days. Decent head units don't have to cost $300 unless your into compitition or extreme show. |

I have a Clarion DXZ 775USB on its way as we speak.  |

Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 5951 Registered: Jul-06 | My JVC was $125 and it's a good HU....... so yeah you don't have to spend a real lot. |

Silver Member Username: DurskiPost Number: 240 Registered: Nov-06 | that KD-AR880 is what im going to get, that's kinda mid range in quality and price, actually prolly higher in quality than most since M.S. uses it. I know I can't get a new one for $100, that's why I asked for used, and comps are not in my future at all. I'm just going to wait for a good deal on that JVC. Thanks for all the help |

Post Number: 6 Registered: Jan-08 | i dont think you can get one for $100, its gonna cost atleast $165 on ebay, so save more dollar,if you could, or if you want, you can prolly buy a dual or a boss that also will provide you what you want like a usb input, because you cant force yourself into something you cant afford, |
