Now that we're starting to see some aftermarket kits come to market, I am starting to rethink my audio plan. Originally, my plan was to buy the Moddiction unit and add an Android stick. I knew this wouldn't give me the same experience as a fully integrated Android head unit. But, I figured it would allow me to do some cool stuff and would still be wayyyy better than the crappy base screen. In the last couple days I have really started to look sat the kits being released by Scosche and Metra. I'm considering pairing them with something along the lines of a Pioneer 4200 or Kenwood DDX9703S. I used to be (10 years ago) really into car and built a few"bigger" systems (i.e. 4 x 12's in my extended cab Ranger). But, in the car I just want something nice and simple. I'll eventually upgrade the front speakers to components. For sub(s) I want something small, probably a single 10" or 12" or maybe even a pair of 8". Everything would likely be run off a 5 channel amp. I am also a techie kind of guy that likes to tinker and play with stuff (hence the desire to add the Android stick to the Moddiction vs. just running it as is). In a perfect world, where money is no object, I would definitely go the Metra/Scosche route. But, I can't ignore the fact that the mounting kit costs about the same as the head unit itself (and not much less that the Moddiction unit) and that that $500 could go toward other parts of the system. Also, there is something about the aftermarket kits that just don't quite look right. Basically, I am looking for what will give me the best bang for the buck, a nice sounding system that doesn't break the bank. I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts and opinions on the two options.
