Righteous!! I was not much into ICE either.....but once I got into it, I became engulfed by it! Unfortunately, I don't have the cash to do everything I would like to do, but I likes having a system now.

stay away from Jensen. That's like buying Radio Shack stuff. lol. save a little money and get the Kenwood MP3 deck. or even the Rockford Fosgate one. VoiceofId seems to like his.

damn phil, i thought you weren't going into ICE. don't buy that jensen junk. IMO, mp3 receivers aren't all that. i think you should get an amp/sub first

This is a popular HU!! A friend bought this one but the version without MP3 and I was so impressed I bought it earlier this week on eBay... but mine has the MP3 and I paid 251 shipped/insured. The graphics are amazing for the reasonable price and I can't wait mine to get here on monday or tuesday! Are you going to try to install it yourself? Let me know how it goes

Try to stay away from ebay as much as possible.. there are NO guarantees on anything sold through ebay and alot of car audio deals are actual ripoffs. Specially if the seller has no rating yet.

Very true mohawk... I never buy from anyone with less than a few hundred positives, with few or none negatives. Also check for huge shipping charges before bidding, that's how many of them make their profit.

The pioneer you showed would be a much better idea than the Jensen, It should be a solid unit for you. Good luck with the install.
