2 Din Dvd Unit

[Kolitha de Silva]

Any recommendations for a good 2 din DVD head unit for a Honda Civic 2008? If you all can share some model numbers, then I can do some digging on the net. I was using a Kenwood, I dont mind any Chinese units as well.

Why dont you start the digging in the Autolanka forum. This topic was discussed quite a few times and recently quite in-detailed too with prices places to buy etc etc.

All the best

go to place like Pet#o and see what's on offer. that way you're looking at stuff that are available in sl with actual prices also

trying to collect some model numbers.. i already did some field trips. But most of the places they just promote the most expensive unit. I want to collect some real experience from the forum.

I suppose these threads popped out of no-where when I searched

Next time try looking for more than just 2 specific key-words.

I've got this Vision double din setup in my civic. I dont recommend it! it has bluetooth and all that. it also has the honda logo in the start up. not satisfied with the sounds though!!

bro you just dug up a post from the past! well if you're looking for a better option my pioneer setup is the dog's bollocks! awesome stuff. i think pioneer has some android interface setups as well. like watchman said way back when, yes this was discussed to death

recently fixed a pioneer for my ek. Sounds are really satisfied even with my ex pioneer speakers all the options are there. HD TFT quality touch screen is superb....

yeah what happened was I came across this while searching the thread for car audio because I need to change the vision head unit I already have. Just saw somebody speaking about the exact thing so thought i should add my two cents because it might help some body else in the future! My plan is also to go for a pioneer double din with bluetooth. Bara quoted around 50k

I recently fitted this to my Civic http://support.jvc.com/consumer/product.jsp?modelId=MODL029022

It has all the gizmos and good sound quality. Nothing to complain of. There is a newer model available now I think. AV71BT.

However as Komi said, check if you can get your hands on a set running Android. If you can get apps to run on the setup, it'll serve a number of purposes other than a multimedia player (i.e. You will be able to run Google Maps on it.).

apparently Gilbert does this brand called vision! tried calling them up but no body picks the phone! IMo the sound out put of JVCs are less than Pioneers. I dunno thats what i heard though

Gilbert does clarion too. Said to be a good brand

Any reason to go for DVD?

Video-You/Passengers would barely watch

Map-Not really useful in Sri Lanka (just roll down window and ask)

For resale value-You will not get

For appearance-Yes it will do

Reverse cam-Useful but at first point one should be able to reverse using thee mirrors

Better go for good quality audio with USB/I pod/BT/Fm and fix some amp/Sub/Eq

I agree with video/TV - it's pretty useless - you cannot watch this while driving and I havent had a passenger yet who watched a movie on the car unit.

Maps though is a different story. Personally I use Gmaps on my phone all the time and i think it'd be useful to have in the car dvd unit.

The only 2 usefull features I see for a screen is to be used for the reverse camera and a working GPS. I see many people buying 2 din only to listen to the radio, what a waste of money!
