Hi guys, i'm looking to get a double din HU for my 07 civic, and i have never used or owned one before (totally noob on ICE :o).
i've been to the FD stereo thread but can find much information about HU, so i try post another thread here see if u guys can give me some better suggestions.
i want the HU able to play video(dvd, divx, vcd), support MP3 & ipod (better if no adaptor needed), A/V input for rear camera, and suitable for daily use and capable for further upgrade later (like amp and base).

i have 3 options atm, and what do you guys think?

Sony XAVW1, (http://www.sony.com.au/xplod/catalog/product.jsp;jsessionid=3DXVUJFNMYI3YCWSCFCCFEQK0II UKIV0?id=XAVW1&_requestid=158458)
JVC KW-AVX810 (http://www.jvc-australia.com/JVC/client/c_products_details.jsp?catID=28&prodID=372),
Pioneer AVH-P4050DVD (http://www.pureexperience.com.au/visualaudio.aspx)

Cheers

I think you should look at the latest alpine W502, because that's the one i want :p

I'll go alpine, you might want to look at a new release jaycar branded cd/divx that plays movie clips.

Thx for the input guys. but finally i got the sony today coz they give me a better deal (i think ~,~). $945 include the HU, iPod adaptor (XA-120IP), with fitting plus connection to AUX-input. they said the HU RRP is 14xx.. and i did search ebay selling 8xx just for the HU @@". so now i'm looking for the steering wheel interface for the CControl. i know that both the PAC SWI-PS and PAC SWI-X support our civic and the HU but just wondering which one is better?? one with IR the other not? with quicker response on the PS? i'm a bit confuse. anyone have any suggestions?

yeah one more thing, i'm also looking for the Antenna adaptor as well.. is this one gonna fit?

I bought the same antenna adaptor from the same seller, its pretty cheap and nasty. I ended up getting another HU from thailand and modded it, and it came with all the connectors ready to go (shortly after got stolen). You can have the old connector I still have it (pm me).

yer jaycar got some pretty good stuff, and warranty from australia aswell. theres speakers are awsome. good modification, better change changing your tailights.

jaycar's speakers/amps are bang for buck for the price and quality

They are much better than the sony's/pioneers. I had splits and the amp on my dc2 and they went hard for the price i paid for, cost price :)
