I wasnt a fan of your unit just because I dont like the way it has to open to put a CD in.
I like the slot right there for me lol.

I went with this pioneer unit, it does everything except GPS and has plenty of RCA inputs for your amps, all around a quality unit with great sound. Here is the link for it on Amazon.com

To each his own. I don't really use the CD slot very much, and it definitely wasn't worth sacrificing a half inch of screen size to get it on the front for me, but I understand the other side of that as well.

The 4300DVD is the same, with the motorized screen coming down to put in the SD card and the CD/DVD.

I plan on upgrading my radio to a double din, most likely one of these pioneers.
My stock radio is only a single din. Where can I find a double din tray and do less din dash facing that will fit my car?

What's the boot time on the pioneers

Blacksmoke

Not sure but mine boots in no time

Yeah it boils down to preference.
I also have a manual and did not like the idea of that thing sticking out so close to my shifter when it was moving.
They are VERY nice units though!
The screen size was not that big of an issue for me.
The 3300 had a screen that was plenty big for me but I dont watch DVD's on mine.

How are these screens if you put them in a convertible? Would the glare from the sun make them unusable?

Shorter than my WB gauge boot time.......I always let the car warm up till the wb gauge calibrates, then I put in gear. D rockers like a warmed up car thats for sure.
I would guess ten or 15 seconds.

10 - 15 seconds sounds about right (period key isn't working)

Music starts up nearly intantly though, but interface takes about 10 seconds

The sun was a major issue with my old Kenwood, but I haven't even noticed it with my new Pioneer

I have a manual too, and you do have to be careful with the screen, but since it is hardly ever down, and I'm not shifting when it is most of the time, it hasn't been an issue; it doesn't make contact though when the car is in an odd gear, which is nice, you just have to keep ur hand on the back side of the shifter, but again, this is hardly ever an issue
