Recommend me a deck ....
I need to replace the stock CD/Radio deck in the GTR.
Looking for something good, affordable, etc -- I'm not a stereo junky - as long as it works well, plays CD's and looks good - thats fine with me. A nice double din unit would be ideal - but they dont seem to make nice double din (like sony used to) units anymore. New or Second hand is fine. Comments and Suggestions welcome. Dan |

Eclipse are generally well regarded in the SQ circles, although I'm not too sure about their lower end stuff. If you are only spending $400 odd then I reckon you can't go past the Alpine gear. Good sound and build, if not as flashy as some, but I like the understated look of their units.

Dan, Double din units generally don't fit into a double din slot all that well (believe it or not). They tend to be smaller then a genuine double din slot and you need to make a surround for it to make them look good. My advice is to buy a decent single din unit from one of the major manufaturers (Alpine, Pioneer etc) but I tend to stay away from Sony. Hope this helps,
Darren

Ive got an alpine deck with the ipod connection thinga. very easy to use and didnt cost me a my arms and looks neat and tidy and it carrys good performance.
I thought kenwood make some good looking double din touch screen type stezza's. cant comment on how they perform tho.
