New stereo time-Pioneer or Sony?

[Emile Mervin]

The time has come to replace the stock stereo in my 08 SR5 4runner. The only problem is I can't decide which stereo to get. I'm looking at either the Sony XAV-62BT or the Pioneer AVH-P3300BT. Things I'm going to add are: XM or Sirius radio, Backup camera, and Ipod hookup. Anybody have any recommendations on either of these stereos? Any opinions are appreciated.

I am a newbie to the forum but since I bought a previously leased SR5 2008 4runner (38k miles) last October, I have been looking for ways to make it good for my taste as I intend keeping it for at least 10 years. The first thing I wanted to change was my radio/dvd system, and I came here for information. Thanks to this forum and reviews on the Internet, I made a solid choice with the P3300. A giant electronic store in New York had this Pioneer AVH-P3300 (5.8" screen) on sale $349 with free installation. The unit, along with harness, kit came and steering wheel remote control connection came up to $445+taxes. This sound quality is up 500% with the stock speakers. The DVD is crisp (but while it is illegal to have the DVD playing while driving, there is a $50 charge by private car shops to do the bypass on the parking brake). Expect prices for the P3300 (navigation capable) to keep falling as the new P6500 has come out with navigation and a 7" touch screen.
