help Pioneer AVIC-N2 or alpine

sup all.
well i was set to get the AVIC-N2. i can deal with the fact that you cant watch DVD's while you drive.
then ppl started telling me not to get it and go with the alpine Dvd/Navi combo.

i currently have pioneer DEH-8400mp deck and 12 cd changer in the trunk
so far been pretty satisfied with the setup.

any thoughts? whats better?
Maybe Don could answer since he's the guru

P.S. btw are AudioBahn 12" subs any good?

Save your money on GPS cuz you dont really need it, spend your money putting together a good sounding setup first.

What do you want it to do? DVD's, MP3's? Also, we need a price range, how much are you willing to spend on the HU?

keep in mind that these photos were taken before i installed the GXE dash kit, with the GXE kit, it looks very stock/factory like.

Also, make sure u go to Don, he will give u a great deal and customer service.

This is the AVN5435.

With the Eclipse, a simple grounding of the E-brake wire allows you to watch DVD's. The Pioneer units have something built into the unit that will not allow DVD's to be watched while driving.

Not sure if those stores are everywhere but it was the ONLY eclipse dealer in my area. BTW, its not an AVN. the 5435 is a single din cd/mp3 player. sorry, didn't know u meant the avn 5435.
