enginph Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 You should also consider rear view cam. My bro has it with his kenwood. It rocks! It has a very wide view and excellent quality even at pitch black. Vids will come when ready.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///BHRpowered Posted January 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 first no, I can back my own ass up, lazy bastards, and I'm not drilling into the car. Â The only thing I need to finish is my high-powered photostrobe gun fortailgators, using the trunk keyslot hole and 3 flash units from digital cameras, at a higher voltage of course should make them think twice, especially at night. I'll blind the fuckers and watch in the rear view mirror as they crash and burn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troutman Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Very nice. Mind you, the Kenwood model to my eyes is even more clean looking, it's what I'd look at if I ever upgraded my head unit. Features are pretty much the same as you mention, including wallpaper feature etc. A Navigation unit is one of the available accessories.

///BHRpowered Posted January 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 itso k, but I don't like the border, and OEM systems are never full touch screen, hence the pioneer looks more oem, slightly less clean or not. doesn't have the border and appears and functions as oem, so thats what ill go with. Â I demand an actual volume knob, and I don't like every thing being a function of touching the screen, the fingerprints on my Jeeps nav only drive me insane.

///BHRpowered Posted January 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 remote ahs limited features, none the less, an OEM system would have a volume knob, the pioneer looks and functions as oem. Â The point isn't to have the cleanest install, its so that when people get in the car they have no idea that its aftermarket, and if they know millenia's, they begin to question there own knowledge. Â also after seeing it installed it looked horrible, there is a huge ass border around the side that looks like a harnass, pioneer is better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troutman Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Since the Pioneer is fully black, I'll admit I agree with you on this one. Â However, the Kenwood's feature of USB input would be awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enginph Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Kenwood looks pretty oem to me. Same color outer frame, similar color inner frame. But i didnt like it that much. It has darn high res. screen but the original graphics suck (didnt try wallpaper). The menu is unnecessarily complicated. Someone should buy an ipod or mac to the designer. The only thing i like is the ability to watch video clips on road and night vision rear cam, which works excellent.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///BHRpowered Posted January 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 it doesn't look oem for the following reasons  no volume knob lack of buttons/total touch screen huge ass border, looks like an aftermarket unit in a harnass  oem system all have manual buttons, none are fully touch screen, the pioneer does this brillantly by having limited buttons for key things like volume and mode on teh driver side for easy access the screen extend to the full area with a very small border, when ti folds open you see a gap, like an oem system, you don't see an inner border, the list goes on  oh, and the kenwood doesn't allow you to upload our own start up image, as the video I posted showed, youcan upload a mazda logo for the start up screen, if it really looks oem instead of oem wanna be, and has a mazda start up screen, I dare you to find someone even at mazda who wonders if it was an option.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

///BHRpowered Posted January 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 the pioneer unit again upstages the kenwood with an OEM feature where if the car is in motion it will not play any movies, dvd or saved on the hard drive. This can be disabled, but like mts said, drive damn it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mts Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Kenwood has the same safety feature, actually by law here in Canada it has to, to be sold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enginph Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Â The kenwood was bought for the kids at rear seats, so if it doesnt play movies while driving better throw it into trash.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
