    G'day people,

    Thinking about upgrading the Eurovox fantastic sound experience!,

    I've got several double DIN head units in mind to replace it with,

    Including:

    Pioneer 6850 doulbe din with 7 inch screen

    Kenwood DDX range with 7 inch screen

    Alpine IVA range with 7 inch etc

    Has anyone got any of these units, or suggest another unit that is good as, if not better, depending on prices to go in an VX commodore.

    Cheers in advance,

    Also if anyone has any pictures of their units post so i can have a sticky beck.

    Which kenwood double din is that?

    from what i can see looks like DDX 8039? which is still the top of the range,

    how much did it cost you? did you install it yourself or professional install?

    That looks great are there any slots SD or is there ability to add GPS to it. I've been toying with the carputer idea a little and you can get in dash ones as well now. Although if you can buy a decent brand that has most of the features that may be the best way to go.

    Does the screen hit the gear stick when in park and you need to put a disk in etc?

    Sound Upgraded, any good?

    G'day people, thanks for all the cool pictures

    Got my system installed yesterday, here;s a run down:

    Kenwood double din DDX7039 touch screen,
    front 6 inch Pioneer splitz 230w,
    rear 6 inch pioneer's 280w,
    2 x sony xplode 12inch subs 2x1000w,
    800w mono block sony amp
    4x640w kenwood amp,

    Sounds awsome, looks great with the head unit, can play everything, mp3, dvd mp3, wmv etc.
