Okay, so I, as most of you would probably agree, hate my stock deck. I LOVE my 07 GTI, and need better sound. I have a few questions and things here, so please bare with me.
I really want an LCD DVD etc head unit, but the wife says no way...
...anyone have experience with this Pioneer Premier Deck? DEH-P880PRS

I went to a well established stereo/installer in Victoria and this is the Deck they recommended.
The recommendation came after talking to him about replacing all the speakers... He was saying not only is replacing the speakers in the doors a huge pain in the a$$, there would be problems finding good speakers that are thin enough to replace the stock - he recommended going after a higher end head unit to balance the sound and when adding a sub and pulling base from the speakers, I could get amazing sound at a lesser expense.
What are the thoughts on this?
Has anyone replaced their stock speakers? What did you use? How much of a pain was it?
Also what about warranty issues with VW - does replacing the stereo have any impact on this?
Huge thanks in advance.
