Which OEM Fit Radio did you buy and WHY???????

Okay,

I know it has been asked before in certain ways. However, I have delayed purchasing a Double DIN OEM look unit. I thought I was ready to go with the ADVENT UNIT over the others. It has a 3 years warranty along with RCA Amp outputs for my 4 channel Alpine Amp. It also has dvd output for dual backseat screens along with the ability to purchase iGo Primo GPS software on the units for a $100 fee. I think, I read that it has a better processor than the others with more ram. Is this true? What else am I missing?

For the record, I have the Alpine 17s Component speakers for the front AND Alpine 6 1/2' 2 way speakers for the back. It will also be driven by a 4 channel Alpine 4x100 Amp. My cars are the exact same 2011 Prius II and both will be done exactly the same, (for what it's worth).

Can anyone who has done research on OEM direct fit Double Din units tell me what I may be overlooking as features. I just am having a hard time "pulling the trigger" on this last piece of the puzzle. Or even, if you know a reason you , choose one over another might be helpful.

One person has had a good review on this forum with the Advent Unit, but not many other people have mentioned that they bought it , which makes me nervous.

Thanks in advance

David

 

Yes, I will look at the Ottonavi units tonight, I was worried because I never heard much about them before and was worried that they might just be the rebadged chinese units, (who knows I am sure they all are to some extent). I also couldn't find if they had RCA Amp out connections like the Advent.

Yes the price is a lot, compared to some really good aftermarket units, however my wife wants to keep both cars as stock looking as possible, so I am trying to go the OEM look route. I checked around and can get them delivered for about $1000 each. Another thing to note, is that we really feel like we need a back up cameras on these cars and to even have it done on the rear view mirror would cost over $1000.

Thanks for the Ottonavi info and I will look into it more.....

 

I am looking at the Ottonavi's website right now. Do you know if they have RCA Amp out connections ?, because i I have a Prius II and bought Alpine Amps for my set up.

 

it DOES help, thanks

 

Another thing , I was thinking of when looking at these OEM Fit units, are any of these units HD Radio capable ?

 

Sorry, just saw your post tonight... If still interested then PM or let me know on here. I might be able to get a Better deal than that from a reputable authorized reseller. Infact if anyone is looking for an advent group buy, let me know. I will see if the seller would discount more based on how many more would like to purchase. He discounted me more because I am buying two units, so I guess he might drop the price lower on more. Let me know if interested.
