Ok.. So I'm thinking of switching from my current head unit to a double DIN. The reason being is this... My head unit is playin-up (it's a face-off type and the connector seems dodgy). There's a guy I work with selling a brand new double DIN head unit I'm interested in. This thing plays DVD's, has a 6.5" touchscreen LCD, Bluetooth, TV, MP3, WMA and DivX compatible, has connection for Ipod/Zen, etc, etc... the list goes on and on...
He only wants £60 for it too!! Only one problem... The face doesn't come off, which worries me as the unit will be on display 24/7 and might tempt someone to break into my car  What do you guys think? This post has been edited by Racer_J: Sep 20, 2008 - 10:52 AM --------------------  |

Double dins are awesome, i like being able to EQ my whole system through mine(kenwood ddx512)
The only downside i've noticed is that you will get pretty bad glare if the sun is behind you... like you have to drive with sunglasses and have tinted windows... but my eyes are really light senesitive, so take that with a grain of salt. honestly we drive 14 year olds cars, most people are looking to rip off our head units... if your ride is all pimped out you will attract more attention. But just adding a double din in someone would have to go peek in through your windows and be like "oh lets break into this one" honestly i doubt that adding a double din would increase your chances of it getting stolen... upgraded alarms are the way to go, always... -------------------- 1 JL 1,000/1v2
