delay18 Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Ok I am starting to shop around for some in dash dvd's and I am looking for suggestions. I thought I saw something about decks that you can upload backgrounds on and stuff like that and I would like to learn more about that. Sooo what do you guys have/suggest? Thanks.

BigCountry Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 I opted for one w/o backgrounds or GPS, the AVH-4000DVD, I got it on ebay NIB for 155 shipped and couldn't help myself. The Ipod interface alone more than makes up for anything it lacks IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want to give me a DNX series I would be more than happy to install it in my truck! As for the NAV, I have used it a total of 10x maybe and it seemed fine, as for having to use the Nav disc during it, yeah its pretty stupid but when you have 20gigs of music and video's that slot is useless to me anyway.

fast4popper Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 talk all you want about the gimmicks, the Pioneer and Kenwood are both decent units, but NOTHING sounds as good as the ALPINE! i have a W205 and LOVE it, but want to upgrade to the new W505. it wont be anytime soon tho. so if SOUND is what you want, and you want it to sound the BEST, then Alpine is the only way, and you can add peripheral things like Nav, Ipod, 175 band EQ (like i am running), shoot it even has the option to take the Nav out and use it as a portable unit in a different vehicle.

FireRescueSS Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 I am running an Eclipse AVN 6600. 6.5" screen, CD/DVD/Ipod/MP3/NAV/Rearview Camera. Has two seperate drives, one for the CD/DVD, and the other for the NAV. Just call Eclipse or whatever to get a new/updated GPS disk. The unit can be 'tricked' to play DVD's and such without being in park. Does have AUX video output, and has a video input as well. I like it.

I have always liked Alpine head units. Sound quality is amazing. I just didn't know anything about video and nav units. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbrsilv15 Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 I have the avic Z2, and it it awesome. The Nav is great, and the picture quality on the movies is perfect. No discs needed except for the initial startup. Great unit. I have always loved the pioneer units. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ipod interface alone more than makes up for anything it lacks IMO. I'm with Big on this one. Pretty good shop told me about steppin up from this unit to the new 4100. It has a little nicer screen with less buttons. Good ipod interface. Not sure about sound. Will know soon. Amazon price is around $390...no Nav.

If you were to buy a Pioneer or Kenwood, which would you choose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
