Hey guys i ned some help. I have been out of the loop with electronics for a while and i need a good reccomendation. I want a double din head unit that has nav, dvd video playback( these 2 mainly) and all the other goodies like back up camera and the ability to watch TV ,....etc.

I do have a budget at around 1000-1800. But i want in to be a double din unit so it fits nicely in my dash...


Does anyone have any reccomendations for me..

Thanks for all the replies

 

Eclipse makes one. Contact Don aka pearl96max on here as he's a dealer/installer close to you....

Not sure if it does the camera thing though and I think GPS may get a lil pricier.

 

Eclipse AVN will do all the above and within your price range.

 

which eclipse AVN are you referring too pearl96max. And could you possibly give me a price quote?

 

AVN5500

www.eclipse-web.com

$1550 installed.

 

Hey Pearl, do you know if Eclipse makes a DVD without NAV but with iPod controls? Was going to get Alpine double din unit, but the release date is now sometime in May, so Im researching other units. Im really looking for something with decent iPod controls. Any help is appreciated.

 

check out my sig for a clip on the Pioneer Z1, AWESOME!!!! I know alot of the guys on here like the Eclipse, and i am a fan too, but man you cant beat the options on this baby, that the eclipse touches slightly.. Again i am a fan of the eclipse so go easy on me guys.. I have dealt with Pioneer for years and never really had any probs..except for the lower cost ones(bad face plate, a long long time ago)... Check you later and good luck in your search...

 

A large portion of the our preference to Eclipse used to be the 3 year warranty. Now that all new Eclipse models no longer have a 3 year warranty, that selling point has been abolished. This will level the playing field so to speak (but only to a certain extent), between Eclipse and other brands.

I have not played with the Pioneer unit, but I do know that for Eclipse's track record, their high quality SQ, as well as many other options, I still prefer Eclipse.

 

BUMP! hey i have pioneer avh7500... this is for users with a pioneer tv, i just got headreat tvs, that DO work. i cant manage to get the rear tvs to play off the front source. yes the wiring is correct. i cant manage the tvs to use the front unit as its source for video. im worried it my be a fault output on my brain for the video cable. cuz if i plug video input as an xbox, itll only play on the rears <xbox> with sound being able to play through the units AV inputs for vcr. HEEEEEEEEELP! plus any suggestion shops that fix motorized tv's by pioneer? i know soudn advice does!

 

Keep making the same post in all threads, and see how quickly that gets u banned.

 

I will Help escort you to the exit of these forums, which for you will not be a two way door if you keep dumping on others threads.

 

I have the AVN 5500 and it rocks and eclipse is coming out with the plug for the ipod as well. Or you could do the AVN 6600 which has 2 DVD slots. I love my AVN it is one of the better headunits that I have had. check my sig to get a glimps of the 5500.

 

On the Eclipse web site the 5500 isn't listed anymore. I live in Miami, FL. How much would it cost to send it over here? Also, how much do you have the 6600 for?

 

Theres no shipping on Eclipse. Also the 660 isnt yet released.
