Bipolar Express Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 I am brand new to this forum - I am looking to add navigation and rear camera, but can't go $600 or more for the new brand name units. Back in the day the F700BT had great reviews, and they can be had for $250 or less. My question -- get a used AVIC or a new cheapo brand for the same price? Thanks for looking at my post and I would appreciate honest opinions on the subject. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
huddy Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 I wouldn't bother with a 700. Maps are way old and the unit only supports BT phone not music data streaming. Also as your phone gets updated, the 700 doesn't. You are buying a 7 year old product. I would recommend looking at the 5000-8000 NEX series of products of you want to save some money. The NEX system blows away the old F700BT in all facets. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cleverdicky Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 These new models seem great - if you have an iphone. Otherwise features aren't very much different. Plays cd, plays radio, has gps In fact I have yet to see a new pioneer model that doesnt revolve around iphone. And there must be quite a bargain to be had buying an older model that still does just what you need (without an iphone) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
huddy Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 If it doesn't support music via BT, then non-starter for me. Like you said, as long as it does what you want out of a head-unit then go for it. Appradio models are also another option for value. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
