the features are appealing... voice recognition, optional navigation, DVD. Just exploring all avenues because the units I was looking into have a limited selection (e.g. Single din CD players that play DVDs as well - no screen). Alpine has a couple (dva-9860, dva-9861, dva-7996, jvc kd-avx2, pioneer dev-5000mp, and a hand full of knock offs). Already have a screen installed in my navigation cubby hole in my Z. Bought the Alpine DVA-9860 to start with. Crapped out on me before I could test a DVD. Ordered the JVC KD-AVX2.....saw the autopc joyride and thought I'd ask around before the AVX2 came in. Just want to make sure I'm buying something that's good....not just expensive. lol
