Glare ???

Which deck is best for avoiding glare in the summer ? Our decks are mounted so high on the dash.

anything without an excessively shiny faceplate.. also use the Metra installation kit.. it's countersunk a little and helps..never mind looks or glare..go with sound quality and reliability..[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

i was just looking at the kenwood kdc-mp919 mp3 head unit and its supposed to have an adjustable angle face plate, so that might be good for avoiding glare

I've found, though, that the units with tilting faces usually let it tilt back so that if it were mounted low you could tilt it back so you could read it better from above... In our cars we need it to tilt the other way because our dashes are already tilting back. I had panasonic HU but couldn't read a damn thing on it because of the mount angle. I just put in a Pioneer 7300 I got for cheap and it works great, the pioneer displays can be seen perfectly from ANY angle and so far I have noticed not one little bit of glare... very happy with this HU.


good luck
