Head Unit Advice

[Menos]

Hey all.

I have some store credit at Alberts Osbourne Park, and I want to use it buy myself a new head unit for my new car audio install.

It must have 3 RCA pre outs, be able to play MP3s, have a direct iPod connection (Not aux), and have an easy to use interface.

So far I have short listed a few units from alpine and pioneer:

Pioneer DEH-7250SD http://www.pioneer.com.au/Products/Car%20E...H%207250SD.aspx

Pioneer

Pioneer DEH-5250SD http://www.pioneer.com.au/Products/Car%20E...H%205250SD.aspx

Im liking pioneers offering with the SD card input, would mean I don't need a new iPod to play my tunes off, and the 7250 is up there because its apparently the same unit, but with a music browser and flip down face.

Alpine iDA-X303 http://www.alpine.com.au/showItem.php?item_id=38

Alpine CDA-105Ei http://www.alpine.com.au/showItem.php?item_id=42

Alpine CDA-117E http://www.alpine.com.au/showItem.php?item_id=164

Had a CDA-102e in my old system, really like alpines way of browsing files. Mate has a ida-303, and that seems pretty decent aswell. Not to sure of the differences between the 105 and 117 though, but for $50 in the rrp, cant go wrong can you? Only thing is alpine is a bit costly compared to pioneers RRPs.

Any advice, or recommendations would be greatly appreciated, heading down that way tomorrow, so going to head in and see if they got any of the above on display.

Cheers.
