Overview

He then details the visual features of a Panasonic, two Pioneer models, and a Kenwood unit, highlighting their retro animations like equalizers, F1 cars, and dolphins, before ending with a call-to-action asking the audience what other models he missed.

    WHAT HEAD UNITS DID I MISS

Transcript

Good you have a period correct head unit or are you slapping car play in your nineties car? There are four old school head units with insane graphics. One, the Panasonic v z 200. This one has an insane good school LED equalizer which would look great in an eighties style car. Pioneer P triple seven. The visualizations on this one are no fi and have kind of like a Windows 95 vibe. Best and treble needles are pretty dope. Tron esque f one scene goes hard. For the true Americans, you have a bad eagle. Kenwood KDC x eight ninety. What's up with these naming schemes? Kenwood has the screen updated with color, so you can see the dolphins jumping through the clear blue waters. They've got some skaters doing sick tricks, and you can even upload your own backgrounds. Now we got the Pioneer DEH P seven two hundred. It has some wild scenes like Stonehenge, and of course more dolphins. Yes everyone's into dolphins. Now what head units did I miss? Are you into these old school units?
