[QUOTE="HmoobVaj, post: 3381683, member: 580525"] I've own an older model eclipse before but sold it due to poor mp3 performance. The nav is topnotch and accurate. Only time it gave me problems was on a very overcast day. One down side of the nav is that it's single slot so you'll have to do some disc swapping if there's any changes during the route to your destination. The sound is great as expected from eclipse. Sound processing/EQ is pretty basic but good enough. Also one of the few units out there with high voltage preamp outputs. As I mentioned the mp3 playback was alittle poor for my likings. It was just a little too slow skipping between songs (4-5 seconds) compared to the Alpine w200 (instantaneous). Also tried hooking my friend's ipod to it and it screwed up the ipod and he lost all his music. I'm looking at the kenwood dnx7100 right now. Only downside to this is the 2v preouts but I don't seem to notice the differences between 2v and 4v anyways. [/QUOTE]
