Pioneer AVIC-X940BT or Alpine INE-S920HD
 

I have always liked Alpine head units. I want to put in a double din that has navigation, Sirius, iPod controls, blue tooth and HD radio would be nice. I will also be installing a backup camera. I see a lot of people like like Pioneer which is also very cheap on Amazin right now. But I really like the Alpine, which would be about $200 more on Amazon right now. They both retail for the same price. Can I get some pros and cons and why you would pick one over the other? Thanks.

i dont have either of those 2 models, but i do have the Alpine w910 and the pioneer z130bt and i prefer the alpine more

Well I ended up getting the Alpine INE-S920HD, ALpine HCE-C117D back up camera and SXV200 tuner for XM. SHould be getting everything next week. Will post pictures after everything is installed.

Have this installed yet? Huge Alpne fan and hate the factory headunit..

Yes I have it installed. I will be posting pictures later tonight or tomorrow. And put up some tips because I ran into a few minor issues.

Items Purchased/Installed:
Alpine INE-S920HD
Alpine HCE-C117D Back-up Camera
SiriusXM SXV200v1
PAC TR7
Metra 95-8202 Toyota Dash Kit
Metra 70-1761 Radio Harness
Metra 40-LX11 Antenna Adaptor

All the factory harness' and the back of the factory stereo (pic 1/2).
Alpine wiring harness, Metra wiring harness adn PAC TR7 wires soldered and taped up (pic3)
Metra Dash kit installed on the Alpine HU. I had to do some cutting so I could fit it around the metal bracket (pic 4)

I hid the extra wires for the GPS Antenna, XM Antenna, and BlackVue power/video cable in the empty space on the passenger side next to the glove box. I placed the GPS and XM antenna on the dash next to the speaker grill. There is a hole next to the speaker that I was able to drop the wires down to the glove box location. I will be moving the XM antenna to the roof due to poor signals.

For the back up camera I ran it along the passenger side and into the trunk lid. I have my BlackVue (not pictured) hooked up to the HU also.

Nice work !
Love the alpine.

Where did you order these items? amazon too?

I ordered the majority of everything from Amazon. Everything was cheaper then MSRP. I got the Alpine for $789. Ordered the antenna adapter from Crutchfield.

Where did you place the Sirius XM tuner box (assuming there was one?)

The box is under the driver side dash. It's zip tied to some cables.
