Alpine's IVA-D300 vs. Pioneer's AVIC-N1

[Omarvelous 10+ year member]

Ok, it's either an ALL Pioneer setup or ALL Alpine setup goin into my car.

They both are touch

With Pioneer i won't have to buy a seperate Nav system.

For either system i will be getting a HU, Nav, DVD Changer, TV Tuner, XM radio, and AV switch.

Was curious if any1 has any HU and can give some feedback.

Thanks

from what i hear from alot of installers, the Alpine navigation systems ****? i have the AVIC-N1 and i am liking it so far, im going pioneer all the way myself, seemed like the way to go since its all in one

What I'm hearing from the early buyers of the N1 is that while it does a lot of stuff, most of that stuff seems incomplete, like functions were left out so all that stuff could be crammed into it.

I'd go all Alpine, but instead of the D300, get the D901.

I would also go with the alpine. i have a pioneer without the nav, but still, its a pioneer flip out and it is unreliable, and has broken 3 times after only 6 months of use. its currently going back to the center in california again today. Ill probly have more to add later.
