Hey guys, can anyone suggest a good after market stereo head unit.
I'm looking for a double din one with
- GPS
- DVD
- Reverse camera
... etc

or advice on ones to stay away from.

Cheers.

Stay away from cheap ones from ebay that promise the world and buy the best you can afford. Work out your budget and go from there. I've never had an all in one jobbie, so can't really comment. But I'm quite partial to Clarion, Alpine and Eclipse car stereos.

I have had a good run out of my Eonon units. Had one in my last truck and now one in this one and no problems. They have all the features and more.

This is similar to mine: http://www.eonon.com/Car-GPS/Specific-Car-GPS/D5168Z.html

I have that exact unit. The reverse camera picture quality is good, the CD player I have never used, the GPS unit works, but is annoying to use and google maps on my phone is faster AND updated with new maps all the time, so I use this, the radio reception is absolutely horrible, and the BT function for your mobile device works easy enough but I have found listening to music via BT, the tunes will drop in and out.
When I can afford it, I would like to get a decent brand name unit, but without the GPS, as I just use my phone these days so this is a huge cost saving straight up on a new unit.

Having said this, I would say Eonon are probably the best of the cheap units to go for.

I just recently installed this one, works well so far, get TV reception lol
I think Ill change the gps card to iGO as that then is the same as my VMS GPS.
havent tried a lot of functions on it as Not really required, but plenty of songs on SD card
One son donated an iPOD and that works a treat aas well

I just bought this one (http://www.digoptions.com/Nissan_General_Integrated_System_p/avnp-ni.htm)from Digoptions. Was good to chat to the guy first to make sure it is what I wanted. Also good to know you're backed by Aussie Consumer Law if it all goes pear shaped.

About to install it but reviews look good.

Radio is fine better than the $400 job it replaced,
check function buttons there are a lot that look similar.
Did you get a booklet with yours, I need to set the radio stations lol
@ Nisshead and Mark do either of you still have the instruction book.???

Gawd! Somewhere maybe! Never used that. Just push the buttons like a chimp on ice until you find what you want...

Just as a quick follow up - I bought a 8" subwoofer to go with the unit and the instructions were of course in Chinglish. Was great to be able to call Matt and ask if I got the wiring right before putting it together. Took less than a minute and gave peace of mind that I'm not going to fry something.
