I have got the JVC Digifine Unit. It sounds great, and looks cool.

I replaced the stock HU for a Kenwood KDC-MPV619 but quickly got tired of the uncustomizable colors... Plus I really wanted a more informative screen...

Now I have a Kenwood KDC-MP922.

jaredspangler is on a distinguished road

I installed a Pioneer Premier DEH-P750MP. It plays WMA and MP3 files, has a fully customizable screen, a remote control, and almost exactly matches the silver trim in my '03 ES.

Alpine CDE7830, old but still works awsome. Push rotary button for treble, bass, volume, etc. 2 RCA outs (4volt preouts), remote control (actually used it a lot in my fullsize GMC Jimmy 4x4 since it was bouncy as hell.

Factory head unit with a Navone LOC to power amps and sub. Few, if any, features; all settings at dead center; thieves laugh and look for another car to rob.

I have the ES and have not found anything after market that 1) looks as good and 2) matches the amber/red lighting of the ES.

Most anything in the after market is more powerful, has more features, and has smaller buttons.

I like big buttons and red colors.

Kenwood MP8017.

Works perfectly. Though I'd like to swap it for something a little more user-friendly, and with higher pre-out voltage.

But I have resigned myself NOT to buy another head unit until the industry comes up with a better method of MP3 CD file navigation. I love my MP3 discs, but navigating the folders and files just plain sucks - and no brand is better than any other.

Once they figure out something better, I'm on it.
