atm im deciding whether or not i should get a single din dvd or double din dvd
because i heard if i had a single din it might hit the air condition controls or cover it
and the double din will fit perfectly but i dont know whether or not it would be good because i think it might be too low....

need opinions? which one would be the best?

Double din by far, fills it out perfectly and looks so much better.

IMO the singledin ones look tacky.

yip i had both and double din FTW

Yep definitly double din

oh okays, i thought it was a bit too low, so double is the what to go, what brands would you recommend?

Cheap chinese FTW

hahahha, cause i was willing to spend up to 6-800...
ebay stuff?

I dunno, if I was you I would stay clear of the brands off eBay. I know when my JVC one had to be re-wired I took it in into my Audio shop and he said at first glance he thought it was a cheapy from the bay because they are constantly coming in & breaking sh*t.

In the end it's your choice mate but remember basically you get what you pay for.

oh oks il take note, so anything for the car from ebay is bad, cause i was plannin on orderin in front struts aswell -.-
but yeah i think i might ponder on it for a while, hmmm, im still confused which one to get

I have no dramas of either of my chinese brand double din dvd players. But I dont get mine off ebay

Not saying everything off the bay is bad. Link the struts and we will have a look. But I have heard a few bad stories about the DVD players so just watch out

oh okays thanks hmm double din it is ^^

Double Din for sure. Fills out the space nicely and looks great.

Here's what mine looks like with a Pioneer AVH-P4250DVD

I got one of those installed a few weeks ago. 2 DIN is definitely the way to go.

Ive bought several of the cheap double ones off Ebay for different cars. I personaly rate them. Had one die after 3 years, but was less than a third of the price of a named brand and the named brand had less functionality. That means that I would have had to have the named brand one for at least 9 years to make it worth it and quite frankly, I would have upgraded to something else before then anyway.

Exactly right.. Most of these cheap brands are made in the same factories with the same parts..

What do you think of this?

Screen resolution isn't too far off the mark.. And it's other features look pretty good.. Would be good to see if the GPS will work in Oz.. But yeah, just looks like you plug un a chip and it will work..

eonon is a well know ebay brand and i installed one of these in a supra and i actually like it.. might even get myself one. dont worry about those branded ones. the only difference i can see is the interface. but functionality is very similar if not more compared to the branded ones.
