I burned a DVD for each full of MP3's, maybe 500 or so songs, that was enough. I also have a 32GB memory stick in each. My wifes songs are on the DVD's, mine are on the USB sticks. No more swapping cds/usb sticks for us! More music than we can ever listen to on the USB and 4.7GB on the DVD.......
I have XM enabled on one, but rarely use it. She uses the HD radio once in awhile, but usually just uses her DVD.
Backup cameras on each too. The blue tooth works perfect with my phone. Pauses the music playback when I use the phone, then starts right where it left-off. Never hit a bump hard enough to cause the DVD to skip. One deck in our 2002 'Vette, the other in my 2001 2500 Silverado.

Just finished wiring in the new deck [ AVH-X5700.
I tried to use my mounting from old pioneer, but since this has face that adj, and open, I cant get it to clear when I hit the open or close.
Guess I gotta do some trimming on top and bottom.
Unless diff mounting kit ?
Only other thing I noticed so far was that when I turn on Pandora from my android phone it only plays thru blue tooth. and Pandora isn't active on H.U.
My other pioneer all I had to do was turn it on thru blue tooth first,,, then , Pandora would be active ...

Got everything all under control with the operation of new head unit AVH-X5700..
Just wanted to post that, all last summer i had tried about three diff amp's , and finally ended up using a Helix Dark Blue 5...
But after all the amp's i tried,, i knew i was missing something in sound, and lack of enough sub.
Well , it must of been my old head unit, AVH-X3500 [ PIONEER ]
as now, WOW what a diff in sound. And now the 12 inch sub is hitting like it should... Either the BHS-X3500 was ? defective..or it is just a ? head unit.. but what a improvement now..
Now i just got to read up on that slope adjustment at my filter settings..As i know really nothing about it...
