Time for an ICE change - suggestions please

antpal · #1 (**Post Link**) 13-03-12

Hi all!
I currently have a JVC AVX730 installed in my Bella. I'm thinking of a change in order to get a more complete system (rather than buy JVC's wildly overpriced accessories!). I wonder if anyone could suggest something they've seen/used/own etc?

On the list of requirements is...
Double DIN
Navigation
BT
iPod (rear usb connectivity)
TV (although not essential, i do spend a lot of time sitting around).

I'd preferably like something with all this built in as standard (if such a thing exists - if done lots of googling and havent found much!).

Thanks in advance peeps!

Pioneer would be my choice if they are your priorities. Look into their AVIC series.

After that, Alpine, but many features are add-on extras.

Thanks Shiny,
I've found 2 current units from pioneer F30BT and F930BT. Not found a decent review of the F30, people seem to be panning it :/
Is there an ancilliary DVB attachment for these systems?

thanks

I'm unaware of Pioneer offering a DVB add-on in Europe (nothing on the website). You could add a non-Pioneer DVB tuner, and connect it via the analogue inputs, and control it separately (presumably comes with a remote control and sensor).

Don't get a Pioneer Avic! I have the Avic F30BT and its appalling. Go for Alpine instead.
Been arguing with Pioneer for months over the various 'issues'. Crap touchscreen, Ipod drops out, voice recog doesn't work... my list is endless.

Yeah, I'm definitely not interested in the pioneer now. I've spent a few hours over the last week researching this and have yet to find a decent review.
May stick with my jvc until I'm clever enough to make a system out of an android tablet lol.
