alright so christmas is fast approaching and for me that means car stuff. Right now im thinkin about getting a new flip out headunit. i think it would look cool and i would actually use it. i found a couple on line and need some advise. My parents are not going to spend 1000 bux on one thing and i really dont want them too so i was wondering about the cheaper ones. i foundthis one at sonic electronics, is it any good. any other suggestions would be great, thanx

I would go with ebay over that man. I just paid $800 for the kenwood 25th anniversery one, which is a damn nice unit. The pyle isn't all that great, and you'll get more options from a better brand.
i think 800 is a bit much for me and my parents,i'll keep searching tho. i think i need a better job.

all I can say is ...

Don't do it, it is a trick, get an axe.
not trying to knock you on this but,
Pyle equipment is by no means quality equipment. You may pay 450 now,but in a month it will go out and you will be out another 450.

this would be more worth the money spent honestly. it is a touch higher priced, but at least it is a name brand and coming from a reputable dealer.

this is a newbish question but i know nothing about car video....i was also thinking about buying a flip out but what takes up the extra space in the dash...or does it fill up the whole space?
ya id like to know this aswell. hey we have the exact same mods,and same color. but i have an 05 cool

Most flip-out monitors are single dins. The stock unit is a double din( i think...heh) so you have space left over, but they normally come with a holder to fill up the space. Either one that can hold cd's or just like a cubby slot. BTW I have a jensen and i would say for the money it's excellent and the video quality is better then some of the high dollar ones i've seen. Never had a problem with it.

The Jensen section is lacking in specs/performance.

stock unit is a double din, most aftermarket decks are singles and you will need to buy a (for lack of better words) filler plate (they are about 20 bucks and you can get them from any audio place that does installs) as for the harness you need to buy a adapter that goes from your stock bracket then its just connect the colors and sodder.
