My question is do any of you guys own a Panasonic cd player in your thirdgen and if so do you like it? Also, do you think I made a good deal in buying this off of e-bay? Thanks.

 

I have only had panasonic head units in my cars and I love them. They are fairly inexpensive but they have a lot of features for them. I think you did well getting it off ebay. I just recently got mine off of ebay. Mine is a panasonic in-dash dvd player and I love the way it looks and sounds in my car. It lookes awesome with the tv I put in. I also got that off of ebay as well. Here is a pic of both of them in my car.

 

Sweet man! What model head unit is that?

 

All i know about panasonic is that there HU are really pretty i dont even know if they make anything else except head units.

 

looks like a wannabe pioneer but hey at that price if it holds its own let kill teh expensive systems

 

I have that exact same head unit in my car and I also got it off ebay. I LOVE it. People comment all the time on how much they love the 3D Graphics while driving. Its def. a good buy and you will really enjoy it.

 

Allright, I'm glad I chose this cd player then!! Ha ha. Thanks for the replies guys.

 

i have a panasonic and it looks cool and has some cool features but it heats up to much an will stop reading cds after about 10 min, but they dont make my model anymore.

 

yes

 

A friend of mine bought a Panasonic about 2 years back, don't know the model number offhand. It works alright and looks decent, but has very poor midrange sound. He says he won't buy another Panasonic. For my money, instead of buying a Panasonic/Kenwood/Sony etc. with lots of features, I bought a lower model Alpine because of everything I've heard about their decks from users on this board and others.

kenwoods are good radios, dont knock them til you try them. as long as they aren't 3DMASK. lol

Overall panasonic decks are pretty decent.I have used and installed several of their low end decks and many of them have performed better than some higher end stuff I have worked with.The 8400 is a good piece and I am sure you will be happy with it.Price you paid is pretty good too.That is about what I sell it for

 

I picked up a Panasonic about a month ago, awsome features for the price. My next one will probably be a Panasonic again, or Alpine. Basically, Panasonic is awsome, specially for the money
