The only thing I worry about is I had a kenwood mask with the 2 piece fold out face, I forget the model, but I had a TON of problems with that. It wasn't the motorized face either, it was constantly having display problems and I took it in 3 times for not playing regualr CD'* very well and not playing MP3 CD'* at all. They never could fix it so it sits in my garage, in the box, on the shelf. That makes me a little hesitant about buying another kenwood.....

<------ Eclipse HU user here
Eclipse or Alpine... Those are the only brand of HU'* I would buy with a select few inbetween. Both make great HU'* with good clean power, lots of features for sound control, and are not too flashy.

I prefer pioneer, yes the display is dimable. I normally just flip the display down at night (it turns off the light then) because once I have a CD playing I rarely change anything anyways.

Any high quality unit will dim when your lights go on.
I originally bought my first head unit on three premises.
1) Lights matched
2) played MP3
3) i'd installed one for a friend, and liked it.
Saw the unit on sale and got it after i got my bonnie.
The lights may have been red, but the face was silver, so it stuck out even more. Sound quality was below par.2 weeks ago I pulled out that RF MP3 deck and got an Alpine 9856. It rocks my world, and my iPod.
No pioneer, or RF, i've had in my own cars has touched it SQ wise, or feature wise. It doesn't have the flashiest display, but it shows all you'll need to know.
