I'm looking for a unit for the dash that is DVD/navigation capable, but the screen stays in place, like in the corvettes, not the kind that retracts, and lifts up over the AC.

Closest example I can find is this:

Anyone know one of a good brand, or that will fit in our cars? Or is that in the link good enough?

thanks.

 

pioneer sells similar ones to the ones found in the vette

 

kenwood also has one i believe... it is a double din with touchscreen

 

Who is EONON???

 

i dunno man, you find that on ebay? i have seen that name on there before, i think it is kinda like some generic deal.... post the link and let me check it out

 

The link is at the top of the thread.

 

Eonon is just the name of the seller

 

yeah i just saw the link.. lol sorry, i didnt catch it before, and yeah eonon is the seller

that site has some good deals aswell

 

Wow, that is exactly what I was looking for. Although I won't be able to keep my pioneer idea, of keeping the factory company, just upgrading, but who cares :P
Thanks ital

 

kenwoods got good stuff, price wise, kenwood blows pioneer out of the water.... i wouldnt mind spending the 500 whatever bucks on that unit, looks very nice, im an alpine fan though... so im saving for my alpine indash. no problem man, anytime, try www.ikesound.com too, they have good deals. I have dealt with both sites before, and i recomend them both. good luck, and let us know what you decide on

 

I was browsing rockford's site and didn't see headunits, I guess they don't make them, I wonder why?

 

Remember when you change your head unit you will loose your steering wheel controls.

 

Yeah that's horrible.
I wonder if theres a HU that's configurable to work with steering wheel controls?
Also, you lose that..I forget the name, technology where you can see the names of songs on the radio, and more clear reception right?

 

i wouldn't buy anything like that off eBay.

i would recommend the Eclipse unit that looks very similar to the Kenwood that was posted. you can find it here:

Wow, that one looks nice too, although more on the price.
When you have the navigation capable unit, do you have to pay a monthly price, if so, to who?

 

No, You don't lose the RDS, If you find one that's capable of displaying the info...

And normally, The Nav functions are GPS or DVD Based. The only reason you'd pay anything for it, is for traffic updates and things of that sort.

 

True. You will loose all of that. Loosing the steering wheel controls hurts! Someday, someone will make a converter so you don't loose the controls.....I hope!

 

I own a car audio webpage at www.lsaudioco.com
I am putting the Alpine IVA-W200 in my car pretty soon, it is new and it is from a manufacturer you can trust. Check it out on my site here is the link . It goes for $999-1100 in stores and I just lowered the price so enjoy.

 

Controls, Yes. RDS, NO!

 

Eclipse would be worth the wait to save up the extra dough. Everyone I know who has one loves it, whether it's just a regular head unit or a DVD one.

 

On crutch it says " This item does not fit"
Something to be worried about, or would a little modification allow it in?

 

Bro maybe you should try getting a dvd unit that flips out and put it in that space that isn't used for anything. I'll throw a pic up here so you know what I mean. This way you can keep the stock head unit and the RD and all the steering wheel controls and just use the fold out for dvds. What do you think?

 

Yeah, that would be pretty cool also.
I'd have to look around for units that slide down.
but if the stock unit was there, the DVD would have to be lower, so the screen would hit the AC controls wouldn't it? Unless it's at a slant.

 

it would take a bit of modification, but i've heard that some circuit city locations have a double din adapter for our cars but it's very hard to get a hold of. a reputable installer should be able to make it work somehow, regardless.
