Hello,

I'm thinking of replacing the stock Blowpunkt with a Pioneer Premier deck (DEH-8MP). Anyone using one of these or heard anything (good or bad) about them? I had a Pioneer Premier deck in my Grand Prix GT and was quite happy with it (I'm still kicking myself for not pulling it when I traded the GPX for the GTO!!). This is a newer model than what I had so I'm just looking for feedback. I demo'd it at my local Tweeter and it looks pretty slick.

I will also be replacing the stock speakers and will be adding the hardwired ipod interface. Anyone have speaker suggestions? The Tweeter guys were pushing Focal's (sp?) but I'm not familiar with them.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks !!!

Had a Premier on my last car. Enjoyed it. Have the stock Blowpunkt right no,but ise the Monster i-cable for my i-pod. What do you think of the new 5th gen. i-pod? (currently have 20gig. i-poc color) :cool

I'm actually an ipod newbie so I don't really know enough to make an informed comaprison. :confused

My brother had 2 premiers and on both of them they just froze up. Pioneer couldnt even fix it and after the second one just sent his money back. I know some people that love them, but ive never been a pioneer fan. Alpine all the way!

I kinda like that Eclipse AVN5495. But for $2400.00 I'd rather get something to make her go faster.

I like the pioneer. I have always had a pioneer in my cars. Now I have the avic-d1 in my gto and I love it. I only payed 800.00 for it brand new. You can't beat that. It has nav. also.

My son has one in his Mustang but it's currently at Pioneer to get the code out so that he can roll and watch DVD's etc. Personally I don't care for the unit........
