Seems here in Canada at least, every site I've gone to so far lists the Kenwood BT518HD and the JVC 340BTS as 'no longer available'.... older models I guess.
@Jeffdachef... what makes the two I listed 'cheap' outta curiosity? When I compare the JVC KD-X255BT with the JVC KD-X350BTS, the only differences I see in the side-by-side
.....................................................KD-X255BT.........KD-X350BTS
Preamp Outputs.............................4-channel...........6-channel
Sub Preamp Outputs......................No......................Yes
Switchable Rear Preamp Outputs....Yes.....................No
Preamp Voltage.............................2.5 volts..............4 volts
Didn't really see much else different apart from warranty... which for the extra year is worth the extra $10CAD in price.
Just curious... the Dodge has that Infinity Amp everything plugs into, so not sure if that affects the preamp voltage? other stuff I don't know if I need? If both are the same KD-X series and only $10 different, I'm just wondering why one is crap and the other isn't...?
Kenwood does look good though... had a Kenwood years back and was a good deck... being a Sony Fanboy I switched to what I have now, which has lasted me over a decade. Sigh, and of course, Amazon.ca for the same deck is about $150CAD. Sadly, in Canada, in addition to the $0.25 to the dollar difference, everything seems to be another 25% more.
