ok well sum1 stole my pioneer flip out dvd/cd/etc..etc player from my car i now want navi w/cd/dvd, i was kinda leanign toward going to the dealer to get it how much would it be? or does anyone know of any other nice 1s?

 

$2000+

In NY, they will steal everything and anything. Quite pointless to have a nice car unless you drive garage to garage...

 

you could get Garmin Street Pilot 2 for 1000+. you can take it with you when you leave the car. it may be a hassle but its safer than leaving it in your car.

 

very true
everyday when i come to my car, i have to check to make sure everything is still there.

 

well i usually park in my garage never really leave the car on the street, My little brother borrowed my car and he parked it out on the street , he borrowed it for 1 week to go out to canada, and parked it ont he street over night and so it got stolen , ityll never happen again ! b/c he isnt ever gettign the car again , anyways im looking for somethign under $1500w/dvd/cd/navi ? what are my options ?

 

Just saw the Pioneer AVIC-N1 w/touchscreen, navi, dvd, cd and all ? anyone know if this is good i could get it for $1150

Hmmmmm. Wonder if that would work on a 2k1

 

there is a person with a 4th gen that has that hooked on his. max8mycash or something.. cannot remember. It's his sig pic, so if you see it, might want to pm him and ask i guess.

 

Look into the Eclipse 2454. Very nice unit and you will not be disappointed.

 

that one on ebay , you think itll wire into my car with out to many problems ? or will i have to spend hundreds of dollars rewiring it ?

 

Know who sells Eclipse units?

 

Don (Pearl96Max) is an authorized Eclipse dealer.

 

Qmax03, if you get an aftermarket setup, you'll have less of a headache in wiring everything up. I'm not that mechanically inclined, and I was able to install a Kenwood navi in both my old I30t and then moved it to my 2k2 with no problems. With an OEM, it might be harder.

Also, with aftermarket, you can watch movies and play MP3 or use satellite radio. With an OEM setup you only get navi.

 

You can still play movies through an external DVD player on a Nissan Navi screen. You need a RGB connector for it. I've hooked up plenty of play stations to MDX Navi screens or TL screens. The sound is RF modulated through the stock stereo. I thought bout bidding on that Navi screen, but if your car didn't come with digital climate controll, you are f-cked.

 

So that poses a question. you have to have the digital climate to have the oem navi? I'm not a big fan of most aftermarket stuff, and love the xm/navi set up in my fiancee's Accord.

noobie!

 

thats' why am the high bidder on it right now

i've wanted one for a long time, and i have the digital climate control too

hopefully i'll win it and will install it with a writeup

 

Gotta have digital climate controll or it will not work. Plugs are totally diff on manual climate controll vs digital. Its like attempting to do a conversion from manual to digital climate- from a fiancial point- not worth it.

 

So as long as you have a digital climate control it will work? Doesn't it also need a DVD drive for the navi discs and also where do you put cds? Also would this go in an 01 without any problems?

 

I note that the unit listed on e-bay does not show the trunk mounted 6 disc changer. This is needed since when you put the nav system in you load the map CD into the unit (slot behind the screen). There is no changer in the head unit. The nav system is designed to play an audio CD in the nav unit head. However, when you're using this you can't use the nav system. The screen changes to a "virtual" CD player control using the touch screen.

I'm not sure how difficult it would be to drop in this unit even if you have automatic climate control. You'll have to dig up the matching CD changer somewhere and then wire it since I don't think non-navi's come pre-wired for this. You'll have to dig up this, probably custom, cable and connectors.

Nav system also requires a speed input. Not sure if non-navi's have this available or how hard it is to tap into.

Also you'll need nav discs. These are available from the vendor at $120 each and you need 9, yes 9!, discs to cover the US. Unless you're a cross-country truck driver you probably won't need all nine but most folks need at least 2. You can get these ocassionally cheaper on e-bay with out-of-date versions cheaper but still useable (I'm still using 5.2 and although there are some changes it still works well enough that I'm not spending $120 or more to update).

In summary, unless you have specific knowledge that this can be retrofitted it's probably not worth it. Being CD based it's not the best system anyway. If you're traveling between CD regions you can't do a direct routing and you have to swap CDs mid-trip.

 

yeah, check the for sale forums here, there is always a AVIC-N1 one floatin around there for cheap. I also heard there is a guy in jersey who will get it to you for 1550 installed, don't remember the place though.

 

speed input wont be too much of an isue,

navi discs i already have and i already have the 6 disc changer, although i wont be installnig it, rather i'll put in an ipod interface

like i said if i do win it, look for a writeup, i think it will be a very unique setup )))

 

no i dont have digital climate control so im now tinking of getting an aftermarket one.

 

That would be me...
