[QUOTE="m48xhp, post: 2006663, member: 566224"] well here is the deal. i went to a shop that has the 5500 and played with it and really im not impressed at all. it is just like the 5435 just with the newer map. the "street map" is really useless to me. it looked nice, but i had to scroll to detroit to see it. ubt if the who nav was at that angle id take it, but its not. now the dual dvd option i like, but with one being dedicated to nav its kinda getting to me. id like to be able to switch from dvd to music instantly. i like the sq options, but they arent a big deal for me cause the amps have crossovers and PEQ isnt a huuuuge deal to me either. this is making me reconsider the 5495 or perhaps the 7000. i like the 7000 nav a lot, but there is no music juke and its not a DD. i have a great idea for eclipse. they need to make a DD with the 7000 ultima nav, music juke and such. call it the 7700 and they will sell many. a part of me still wants the avic-z1 but i can just get the eclipse too cheap to pass up. if i get the 7000 i would want the 5.1 decoder and an ipod to make it work the way i want. if i get the 5495 id want i better nav software. does the 5495 have the new 2006 maps or the old maps like the 5345. the new disc doesnt say it is for it, but i dont know. its a hard drive. and if its old can i update it? this is frustrating.
