I have always had Kenwood head units, in the last S2000 '00 I had the Kenwood MD unit, which was great. With the arrival of the fastest colour in the world of S2's Nurburg blue/blue , just around the corner.

I think it is time for a change. This time I am looking at Alpine, so what experiences have you had over the years with the different manufactories out there?

I have an Alpine MD head unit that I am happy with.

As I did not want to lose the dash controls I saw it as the only choice at the time.

In my experience Alpine are consistently very good. That said they have tended to get rather too 'fancy' in recent years especially with their audio controls.... its all DHE and graphic EQ now

The 'purest' headunits are probably Nakamichi, these would need the use of a SWI-X programable dash control interface whilst Alpine have a plug and play hardwire control solution.

Pioneer's last few ranges have sounded a whle lot better than I expected, they too offer a custom dash interface system but it is a little more expensive than Alpine's and uses an IR eye rather than hardwire.
