[pottsy]

hey peeps i am getting rid of my d310e and wanting to put a double din dvdplayer in that has gps and good stereo controls to handle a good set up.... the only issue is that i have been serching for ages and it seems that i can either get a 3-4k one from pioneer or buy a $400 from ebay shipped from hong kong ,all the others i came across dont have australian maps for the gps........does any one know of any decent systems for a decent price???? cheers

Looked at the Pioneer AVIC 900BT? It's not out till August if I recall correctly but looks pretty nice!

I had an Eclipse AVN6000 for a while, awesome unit but the price is probably up there with the Pioneer you got quoted.

AVN 6000- $2-2.5k

Do you have the model number and price for the Kenwood box?

Its on the Kenwood website. Not sure if these new model's has GPS built in or not, because the 07 model did not and you have to buy a seperate GPS box.

I believe the older US model DNX7100, that goes for about 900 bux AUD delivered from ebay US, has GPS built in and you just upgrade the maps via the SD card. See the link below. I'm unsure about the newest model thou.

This is somthing I'm looking into as well.. I want a double din unit with GPS, DVD and good audio output, 6.5" or 7" screen....etc

update:

ok.. So it seems the aussie version of DNX7320 (latest model) has builtin GPS with garmin maps, and you can get optional tv tuner. Pretty well priced as well.. I think I might get it. Even though it is only 2v pre-out

do they all have ipod output? i looked but didnt see, was wondering if i missed something.

[chrissyo]

ive got one of the 7" cheapies from ebay, installed it 6months ago, never had a problem with it. Has ipod support and GPS...although im still looking at setting gps up(i have got it running IGO but need to calibrate the screen size and get maps still)

[pottsy]

hey Phase i just out the DNX7320..... looks pritty sweet, do you have any idea how decent the stereo controls would be??? i have a pritty decent setup and the idea of going from an alpine to a kenwood sorta makes me think i am gonna loose sound quality

[__PhaseShiftDown]

I have no idea m8. If you have a decent set of speakers positioned well, good amps and good deadening, then I dont think there is going to be too much difference in sound quality between the kenwood and alpine. Although I wish they had BBE enhancement. Makes mp3 files sounds heaps better. Like I said, that kenwood unit is reasonably priced. You'll always pay more if you want better ones.

I bought a cheap $400 one form ebay, played everything, big screen etc. after about 3 months of use, its doesnt play any cd's or dvd's, only the radio works! So i dont recommend one of these cheap ones, ill be buying a decent brand one next time!

yep a few people have been burnt by those.
