Default Din and a half

Does anyone other then Pioneer make a Din and a half? I dont like the look of my old aftermarket tape player, I have a 12 disk changer, but I would like to have something within reach, XM compatible, cd player. I havent kept up on radio technology so i am way in the dark on whats available now. I dont need something super fancy, but obviously not a dinosaur either. Any help?

i do like having a nice little system. Someday I want to run a pair of subs, better speakers in the doors, and add on a set of tweeters. Thats about it really. I dont see overhead T.V.'s going in....... yet......

Thanks guys!

Dual, Pyle and Jensen all make 1.5 DIN units. You could always get a standard DIN headunit and add and EQ or just a .5 DIN pocket.

Ok, that all sounds pretty good. Does anyone have a kit to mount the half din EQ and a Din head unit?? I had a nice EQ in my first truck and would love to have another one!

Any new deck will have a complete electronic eq. Far better then the 90's ones if that is what your thinking of.

Not at all, EQ can make quite a difference. and I'm not talking about a sparkomatic or pyramid EQ of the 90s
