What it concludes

• The 50-dollar cheap head unit feels low quality, has a bad user interface, and quiet call quality, but it turns on and works.
• The 300-dollar Pioneer DMH-1500NEX is the best overall value, offering great feel, high screen resolution, wireless features, and good sound quality.
• The 700-dollar Kenwood DDX9707S has advanced features like wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, but its user interface is clunky and it suffers from engine noise during calls.
