Head unit advice

Disclaimer: I'm not spending a fortune nor am I an audiophile

Any recommendations for a decent double DIN headunit, ideally one with a reversing camera input? Sub out and a front amp connection seems to be across the board for the double din ones which suits me fine.

I've seen the no branded full video ones on TM for $250ish but I'm pretty cagey on what they'd be like - they look too good for the money

Not keen on a car-pc type thing, I just want a thing what plays music at me, does the bluetooths thing and the camera function just would be a bonus.

Kenwood would probably be what your after for a cheaper one with a screen. They're moving up in the market with jvc being their cheap brand. Seem to have good features and quality without the mark up of alpine and the likes.

Was seriously considering one but I was weak and just went alpine. Their new ones seem to get all around good reviews and are 100-200 cheaper than alpine for similar units

Edit: only 2x pre out on that Sony above so not ideal for a sub

Says one of the pre outs is 2v with LPF - which would be good enough for an amp - and the other for fronts.

Ideally you want 5v pre out for sub. But 2v would do for the non 'audiophile'

We often have real good deals on Headunits at Supercheap. Key is to look for one that would work best for you e. g Mechless, Bluetooth, Double Din etc

Yep, but I've yet to see that Sony XAV65 that cheaply. Although Supercheap have "We'll beat any price" signposted as you walk in (or outside the building), one of the thrifty guys at work eventually got them to price match an online price. It went to head office in Akl. He was challenging the "any" price part (as it didn't state retail, online, trade discounted...)

So that's definitely worth considering if you intend on shopping there, and know you can buy cheaper elsewhere (as they aren't the cheapest).

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
