[hzsogood 5,000+ posts]

been a while since Ive looked at head units but I would like to get a DD navi/dvd screen for a clean setup in one of my cars.. Ill probably just have a single 12 with a descent 500 watt amp or so and a nice set of components .. But dont really wanna spend a ton of $ on one, so are there any nice ones for under 800?

Im partial to eclipse and Pioneer, but whatever is good lemme know

I'm a fan of the Alpine IVA-W505, but the nav unit costs extra. The deck and nav add-on will set you back around $840...

hmm not bad.. i really want an eclipse, but there right around 1100 i believe.. All the NAVIs now days are ALL pretty descent as far as GPS and accuracy, speed and POI , so basically just something with a nice screen, and ipod Iphone full displays etc etc

Crutchfield has the Alpine IVA-W203 on closeout for $449 ($350 off).

It also needs the NVE-P1 navigation unit, but I've seen those go fairly cheap on ebay.

not bad man , thanks for the heads up.. the only thing I noticed about the add on navi unit on the alpines, is that there are only 1.3 million POI, while eclipse, pioneer, kenwood are 6 million + .. But still a good deal on the unit itself.. Like I said tho, I want alot of Iphone capabilities , cuz thats where most of my music is gonna come from

I've been a Clarion freak for over 15 years for good reason. This, or the newest version out when I can get one, will more then likely be my next HU sense Eclipse is pulling out of the aftermarket scene.

I run the VRX585USB. It looks really nice, but I wouldn't recommend it...

When it comes to HU's I have 2 requirements,

1) It has to be new

2) It has to be the companies top of the line HU for the given category.

Look into the JVC Arsenal series. Excellent quality IMHO. I am strictly Alpine and JVC.

If so it doesnt look bad.. I just cant see JVC being on the same level as Eclipse, Pioneer, or Clarion

Man im really Eying that clarion NX700 now.. Stopped by the local shop today and they had a NX500 for $749 ,

Whats the difference between the 2, besides the 700 having a full 7" flipdown screen instead of a cd slot up top?
