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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Meza

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.
