Hello

just purchased a 05 Subbie and was looking to replace my crappy stock deck

with a simple to use Mp3 and USB capabilities

I have had alpine in the past but seeing the coin I spent for that, dont want to do that again

so what would you suggest for an inexpensive deck..

like something under $225

thanks in advance for all your help

 

Kenwood has a deck that is entry level, and usb as well, I find them easy to use.

 

Clarion DXZ785USB if you can find one

 

I'm a big fan of the Pioneer DEH-P510UB.

 

ya go for a dehp 510ub or even a 410ub
both are great decks and im sure u'd be happy with either

 

I'd stick to the Kenwood or dare I say a Sony if cost is a factor. JVC also offers the KD-R600 giving USB at an afforable price. Three models I'd look at are Kenwood KDC MP342U $149.99, Sony CDXGT430U $149.99, and JVC KD-R600 $149.99. The Alpine CDA-105 is $229.99 (roughly) and it has USB and gets you the Alpine name that I'm sure you trust. A Pioneer DEH-P5100UB is at the same price point the Alpine is, but I would lean to the Alpine side for sound quality on this one... The DEH-P510UB is a Pioneer Premier deck that offers the same features but better sound quality... Problem is that the price point breaks out of your budget. Hope this helps.

P.S. Don't forget about dash kits, wiring harness, and antenna adapter parts when making a selection, as they will raise the cost of a deck

Ciao

 

Or screw the USB and budget and grab a McIntosh MX406 ahahaha

 

I was thinking the JVC KD-R900

thoughts or reviews?

 

Budget? What kind of pricing have you found? It's a solid deck, has Bluetooth as well.
