just in case anyone is really interested :)

[SEaton]

nice

[SEaton]

do you know if the site is trustworthy johnny?

[johnnyfive]

yeah, that is a good site, most manufacturers you still get their warenties, and then some products have extra sonic electronic warentie.

but it is a good reputiable site, with good pricing :)

I've never really understood the fascination with tv screens in the front dash of a car. It's so small you can hardly see anything. Plus I can't imagine they serve any purpose except distraction from the road. That is the last thing you need, especially in rush hour stop & go traffic. It should be illegal to have a tv screen anywhere in the front of the car. Leave them in the backseats for the kiddies.

And Violin, that is the kind of player I would love to have. DVD audio is amazing. Even just burning mp3s on a DVD is great. A week's worth of music on one disc :).

Cares, in California it is illegal to have a screen to play video in the view of the driver. Also billboards are not allowed to play video. Slides only. I found out that it is also illegal to fiddle with your GPS while driving. I have a little "Garmin GPS V" on a friction mount on the dash. I try not to touch it while driving.

I am foaming at the mouth for one of these.

You can find them for as cheap as $750. I like the idea of a removable device. Cars where I live every so often, get broken into. I would just cry if I has a $1400 head unit yanked outta my car.

It does XM Traffic, MP3 Player, XM Radio, Bluetooth Hands Free, FM Transmitter, oh and it even does GPS! LOL.

I want one of these really bad too. I like having the portability also for the purpose of taking it out of the car or at least putting it in the glove box when i'm in my parking lot at home/work.

[PixieDawn]

Ok I think this is the one I am going to get 20gb hard drive.. no need for the ipod lol .....and even has an adapter you can buy to plug unit right into the aux jacket we have so the unit uses car speakers... only thing missing is blue tooth for cell phone but I can deal with that :), its just the right size to fit in the cubbie under the radio I think.... tell me what you think?

Anyone look into the Eclipse HU??? I think the double din's would look sweet with the liftback's dash..

[sroberts]

I have a Garmin IQue M5 in my Yaris. I got it last christmas and I use it everyday.

[paultyler_82]

I would love to have one of the new Pioneer AVIC-Z1's... but that is so out of my price range... but come on... HDD Nav with POI, the ability to rip CD's to HD in the car, touchscreen or voice control and voice guidance. Not to mention optional Sat Radio, Bluetooth, iPod, Vehicle Dynamics (gauges for all kinds of car parameters) and it's even Double Din which looks so nice and stock in cars that have a double din opening.

If you aren't in the States, it probably wouldn't work for you... different Radio Frequencies for AM and FM... try some of Pioneer's Asian market Carrozzeria products instead.

[PixieDawn]

HAHA I have changed my mind again ... now thinking about the TOMTOM GO 910 lol ..it have the blue tooth in it ... lol .... I am so confused... lol

:smile: THX.....but do u have any Model that u sugguest

[paultyler_82]

:smile: THX.....but do u have any Model that u sugguest

Probably anything listed here:
http://pioneer.jp/carrozzeria/rakunavi/index.html
would be a suitable alternative to the AVIC-D2 for the asian market.
Just that most of the Japanese market units are quite a bit more advanced
than the US Market units.
I saw a Japanese Panasonic Head unit I wanted, Was a Double-DIN and had analogue VU meters and a visible Vacuum Tube! Ah... yeah, the Panasonic CQ-TX5500D

And a picture:
