I really like that N3 that arcbill posted, and the N2 is pretty cheap right now at circuit city, but it doesn't have bluetooth which would be a great feature for on the road stuff. I might just wait for the N3 since it should be pretty damn cheap but it doesn't have two slots, damnit. I want the N2 but with the ability to add bluetooth. The Z1 is nice, but it's MONEY!

I'd hate to get the eclipse unit, only to be disappointed with the Nav feature.

definitely dont want to regret purchases that BIG! we're getting the eclipse avn5500 since we're really comfortable with the toyota nav functions and menus. its almost second nature, and we dont want to have to re-learn the functions for a pioneer or kenwood model. the pioneers have better visuals than the eclipse, and the sound quality for both are top-notch, IMHO. i think the one for 800 you were lookin at was the 5500, since the 6600 would have 2 dvd slots. the 5500 has 1 cd and 1 dvd slot. good luck finding your nav system! im sure you'll be happy with any one you choose...
