I've done a search on this already and I know both have their advocates ... but I am wondering about a couple of things.
I just had my Eclipse HU stolen and I want to go with detachable face because my car is parked overnight in my condo complex's underground and there are just too many thieves who don't know what ESN is. I won't be forgetting to remove the faceplate.
I am leaning towards the Pioneer DEH-P560MP. I do want MP3/WMA and the power output should be sufficent.
I have had a long standing hesitation about JVC products but a lot of people are telling me to take another look. I did, and I hate the styling of the decks like the G700/800. However, I really do like the looks of the LHX500 and AR7000. The AR is going to be too pricey, but the LHX can probably work. When it comes to sound quality and ergonomics while driving ... is there a reason to justify the extra money between the Pioneeer and the JVC?
