Anybody running one of these?

This area gets so many more hits, and I would like to get a general consensus on this one. So....

Which one would you guys get?

http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_...P4100DVD.html# - Pioneer AVH4100DVD

http://cgi.ebay.com/Eclipse-AVN6620-...3%3A1|294%3A50 - Eclipse AVN6620

http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_...B+BT-E500.html - Eclipse AVN5510

The plan is to run a set of ID CTX 6.5 components up front and one single IDQ10 in the rear. Navigation is not a must for me so that is why I am also considering the Pioneer 4100.

i hear the p4100 is a real nice unit. alot of guys run it on the other forum i'm on. i'm never been a fan of eclipse, but i never had liked any of their decks to buy them either. i have 5 or 6 pioneers with no issues, except i wore 1 button out but the remote still worked.

also i would not buy from sonix electronic, there's a thread on another forum about how a guy bought 2 JL amps for a customer's system and they were DOA, to make things worse, the serial numbers had been scratched. just an FYI

I have an Eclipse CD7100. Granted it is not exactly what you are looking at, but Eclipse makes outstanding head units. I've had 3 now, and every single one has been amazing (and stollen out of vehicle, except for this most recent one).

I bought the AVN52D from Sonicelectronix, I love it. Came with the wiring harness and dash kit, Ipod and Bluetooth hook up. Install was strait forward and the NAV system works awesome, easy to program and understand.

Can you give me a list of things that you do not like about the unit?

How well does the DVD operated Navi unit work?

Go to Avic411.com and take a look at some of the problems these units are having. I have a D3 and its junk and everyone else is having the same problems. I personally will never by a Pioneer unit again. Just to many problems over the years. I did some research recently and I will be going with a Kenwood unit.

I am not considering any of the AVIC units. I have yet to read a negative thing about the P4100DVD. Have you?

Besides the pico fuse issue and the weak-*** pre-out voltage, I love my deh-p880prs. Incredible tuning capabilities for active 2-way + sub.
