Hi folks,
Please help me decide.
8400 has 800x480 resolution vs 480x240 of 4400.
Will that make a lot of difference in screen display quality and DVD playback clarity?
Additionally, 8400 has SD card slot, Mixtrax, advance app mode, dual zone audio/video, detachable face. 4400 does not.
Mostly, I am tempted by the higher screen resolution.
I will need to buy a kit to install it in my 2007 Honda CRV.

On the other hand, this Custron unit has everying plus the necessary frame for CRV, and cheaper:

Your advice please.
Thanks in advance.

Yes its worth it... its almost like comparing a High Def TV to a regular TV, it just looks better, clearer, and crisper... spend the little bit extra and you wont regret it later.

I would say its toss up between the 8400 and the custron.  The custron will not require a mounting kit, and will have OEM looking buttons, which is huge in my opinion.  Schoche/Metra mounting kits, needed for the pioneers, suck, but they are the best we have.

Personally, I got a 3400, and quickly upgraded to an 8400.  I never touched the 4400, but I REALLY like the 8400.  It really looks nice.  If you go to amazon, the price diff is a bit over $100, which is significant, but totally worth it IMO over the 4400.  The screen looks nice.  It was easy to wire up, and I am happy with it, despite its aftermarket looks.

If you REALLY value stock looks, I woudl go with the custron.
