Stuck...

[DRoyarcher]

So I have my P5 with a Pioneer DEHP7700MP with the iPod adapter. I'm thinking about upgrading to a newer head unit, and I'm stuck on these two models. I was wondering what you all thought.

Pioneer FH800BT

or

Eclipse CD5030

Pros for the Pioneer $349.99:
Double Din
Already have a Pioneer installed so I don't have to rewire the car
Long history with Pioneer and enjoy their products
USB connect and iPod connect (with the adapter I already have)
Bluetooth paring

Pros for the Eclipse $299.99:
$50 dollars cheaper
Red/blue display
5 volt pre-outs (yes I am going to amp the fronts and sub)
Bluetooth paring (however my phone is not listed on their website as being compatable)
USB Connect

I used to work for Circuit City when they got Eclipse I was impressed at how clean they sounded and how well they performed, but I've never had one before.

Like I said, I'm stuck both systems also have cons but again they end up about the same...

I have the non Premier version of that head unit an ABOSLUTELY love it!!

The phone pairing works great. I have a Nokia and it automaticly pairs up after its set up with no hassle at all. The switching from music to phone is flawless. The call quality is very good. Alot of times people do not even know they are on a car system.

The audio quality is much better than the stock unit. The install is pretty easy. If you can run wires then it will be a breeze.

I would have to say the pioneer. I think that pioneer produces a lot of great systems.
