I am driving myself mad!
Got it down to about 3,Pioneer 5700,JVC KD-AVX2 or JVCKD-AVX33.
I prefer the big screen of the Pioneer but the JVC AVX2 is a lot cheaper,the AVX33 has Bluetoooth which should work with my phone but it is more expensive again than the AVX2.
I was toying with the idea of fitting a slimline PS2 so the Pioneer would be better for that.
I dont really spend much time in the car but there is the pose value.

lol blimey mate your in abit of a pickle by the sounds of things lol it is down to your preference lol what you would find more useful like if u speak on the phone alot the AVX33, but if u plan on watchin films music videos etc... then the 5700 but as you said you dont spend alot of time in your car so i wouldnt bother with the big screen lol you can pose with a smaller screen etc...:y:

save your cash for something else if its just for pose value. DVD headunits lost their pose value when halfords started selling them for sub 300 quid

Kind of thinking that way already,I was thinking how many other bits I could get for the £300 or so it would cost :)

do a search ive explained why all in one dvd units are useless, security is the biggest issue

if your wanting screens then get sunvisor ones with a seperate dvd headunit or even a ps2 as a dvd source :y:

get an xbox with media center, then link it to some sunvisor ones, and a normal HU with AUX in for sound!

Search Ebay or Google , there is loads of DVD head units .I would personally go for the separate screen to the unit for security reasons more than any thing.

I have done it my self so if you look in theard you will see want i have done.

At some point I might get the JVC-AVX33,it is only a small screen but the whole front panel comes off for security even though the car only ever gets left in about 3 places and one of those is locked in the garage.
