hey guys, im looking to get a dvd / nav setup in the car in the next few weeks. i was just wondering what you all would suggest. ive been doing alot of research, and there's a few different setups ive looked at, but i havent been able to decide as of yet.

i was thinking about getting the Alpine IVA-D310

and then the navigation unit, and then installing it in the map compartment so it could be hidden when not in use.

but after seeing spiky's post i was thinking that i may want to go more along something that looks similar, except go with a carputer setup and a nice screen from eclipse.

any suggestions? pro's / con's of certain screens, placement of the unit, etc?

thanks!

Have you considered the Eclipse AVN 7000?

i've got the n2 and my only complaints are having to have the navi disc in (which doesn't really matter to me since I used my ipod for all of my music) and the fact that it doesn't read mp3's off of a DVD. Other than that, I've had no problems with it and love it! :drool:

N3 is a good option also.

I don't have any pics of mine, but go to the picture section below here and search for "avic". There are several installs to look at, I just haven't taken the time to take a picture of mine yet. It's only been in for 9 months.

i think i found my winner w/the N3. great little unit. i really like the eclipse, but i think the pioneer is a better fit for my needs.
