touch screen car stereos!

[01CobraRJ21]

Found the Cobra, SVT logo off the internet than had to use a micro sd card and put it into the slot and change the splash screen is what its called. Most of the nav decks should have a splash screen setting

oh ok..and i was reading up on yours and it says you have to pay extra money for features?

yeah my stock stereo is starting to mess up. volume goes up even when i turn it down so id rather switch to touch. i was thinking about this pioneer one . Alpine TME-S370 6.5" slim touchscreen monitor at Crutchfield.com

lol same shit here. If you turn it down to fast it will go all the way up. I have to turn it very slowly and that only works half the time.

wow this is more common then i thought my factory stereo is doing the same thing with the volume control go to turn it down and the volume goes up all crazy.

Yeah its common. My uncles 01 crown vic does it. Word of advice, if it acts up, mute the radio then screw with the volume. You can also run a system self diagnosis by tuning into FM and holding the 3 and 6 at the same time :read:

what do you guys think of this one? its an ebay one. would it be better to get a name brand one or have people had good luck with ebay? i thought the dummy security face was a cool feature Anti-Theft In Deck GPS Sygic BT+Radio PIP HD 7"TouchScreen Car DVD Player Camera | eBay

Don't cheap out on a double din. One of my friends has a kenwood and even that is a buggy unresponsive piece of crap. In the cold it won't respond to anything.


I just put a pioneer X930BT in my car, crutchfield had 100 bucks off around christmas and I swear I got the last one. If you can find a X930BT, go for it, if not wait for the new X940BT. It has a totally new OS with alot of Iphone and some android support. It looks the exact same as a X930BT, just the software is different...

Here is my X930BT, just put it in the other day, loving it so far :rockon:

Anyone have any experience with the new Pioneer AppRadio 2?

Seems pretty slick but I don't know how it works as just a double din 7" touchscreen if you don't have an iPhone or Android attached. But then again, when are you ever in your car without a phone on you?

The Pioneer AppRadio 2 coming out in April definitely supports Android. But not sure if you care about that one. Seems pretty slick but might not be as full featured when not hooked up to a phone. But then again, when are you ever in a car without a phone and its nice to use the latest technology with navigation like Google Maps, Internet Radio, Weather, etc.

 

[Venom04]

Yes mostly all the new 2012 Kenwood models are Android compatible. Double and single din. Check out crutchfield.com

for some reason after i installed mine it seemed to actually make it sound worse... it has no bass and i have been adjusting it and everything, do you think something may have been hooked up wrong causing the speakers to not have any quality bass in them anymore
