GnatGoSplat Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 What 2-DIN LCD head units have audio visualizations? Such as spectrum analyzers, VU meters, etc.? Doesn't have to be Pioneer, doesn't even have to be name-brand, don't need navigation, doesn't need the best sound quality. All I've found so far is the AVH-P6800DVD which the Crutchfield site says has "background videos", spectrum analyzers, even an entertainment clock. Sounds good, but I don't need the changer and was hoping to find something a little cheaper. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tjdehya Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 None. I dont know when, but it has been outlawed to have pretty stuff on the screen of a 2din stereo. It may distract the driver. Thats why they built all these motion lockouts into the systems now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GnatGoSplat Posted August 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Isn't the AVH-P6800DVD an exception? I thought I saw photos of a cheap generic Chinese 2-DIN color LCD stereo that had a spectrum analyzer. I might not have minded it being a cheap Chinese stereo for this particular car, but I do want iPod control and integration and that stereo didn't offer it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimmy303 Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 We have the 6800 in one of our demo vehicles, and the animated screens are cool as f**k! Plus the cheap Chinese products seem to be here one day, discontinued the next. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mezam Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 All I can say is the AVH-P6800DVD has some bitchin spectrum analyzers. With a Six CD Changer that plays MP3s thats about 3.5GB's of music. When you have that much capacity, who need's an IPOD? Bought my HU from Ebay for $900 +s/h. Not bad at all.

GnatGoSplat Posted November 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 I ended up just getting another AVIC-D1 for that car, but I would love to have a 6800DVD. I still need an iPod since I have 14GB of music. :lol: I think it's a shame it can't play MP3's on DVD though. I have a JVC KD-AVX2 single DIN unit that can play MP3's on DVD so that's 4.3GB in one single slot. 8.6GB if I were to burn my MP3's to a DVD-DL. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
