I have an option of two radios for the vet I can get the JVC kw-avx830 or the Sony xav-70bt. I can buy the JVC about $100.00 cheaper than the Sony, but am unsure of which way to go. Any opinions

 

Don't know if this will help you any but I've had nothing but JVC components in my home theatre for over 30 years and none have ever failed. I've had 2 Sony HU's in 2 different cars and they both had problems within 6 months. If it were me, I'd go with the JVC.

 

depends on your price.

give me hopefully a few days and I will have the pricing on the new Pioneer z130bt
this would be mu suggestion for you versus the ones mentioned.

I see Pioneer has lowered the suggested retails this year by 200.00 on the z130bt to 1200.00 the z120 last year was 1400.00

i am at 1025.00 right now on the z120 so this should give you an idea of whats going on from Pioneer for prices.
Once i get more info i will be posting it up for everyone for preorders

 

I would love to have the Nav but I am either spending 330.00 for the JVC or about 425.00 for the Sony. I cannot swing that much plus the additional parts of the Sirius, Ipod hookup, etc...

 

sorry thought you were looking for nav

the new Pioneer 3300 and 4300

pricing I am waiting on and will be in your ballpark for the mentioned units

Does Pioneer make a double din with built in bluetooth without going Nav because I do not want to mount an external bluetooth receiver
