Up until last night, I had a Kenwood KDC-MP8017 head unit...until some punks broke into my truck and took it.

I am now in search for a new system.  I liked the kenwood (price and quality), however, it was a little difficult to navigate through folders.

Looking for some good recommendations

Thanks

Look at the New Pioneer and Alpine units.

someone on here reccomanded the alpine 9807 to me.  I went and checked
it out...quite a cool deck.

might work for you

I was looking into that one last night....looks like a very nice unit....anyone know how Alpine compares to the new Pioneers, as far as ease of use?

I think the Pioneers are easier to use but the Alpines are faster between
tracks and you can search the disc while still listening to the current
song.

I find the Pioneer decks *far* easier to use, and really despise the Alpine
user interface. Although the Alpine decks have a better CD SNR as well as
iPersonalize, and Media Xpander. You may also want to look into Blaupunkt's MP3
compatible decks.

I have the opposite opinion. I had a Pioneer 3500 and returned it due to
the glare on the display (my car's dash angles up more than average)
and replaced it with an Alpine 9811. I like the Alpine's button layout
better than the Pioneer.
