Yep, even cheaper than that on eBay sometimes.

I bought mine brand new back in 1999, and havent installed it yet.

Getting used real soon now that I finally have a car worth installing a good stereo in.

Blackbird located here on alpines site...http://www.alpine-usa.com/US-en/products/product.php?model=PMD-B100

iva-w205 located here... on alpines site...

Actually, that Blackbird isn't the one pictured. The original Blackbird won't dock into the W205. The new Blackbird that does dock into the W205 has not come out yet.

How much better was that then the 7940? Marginally? Or leaps and bounds?

I havent used a 7940, but looking through the manuals it seems the main difference is the 7940 is listed as 4v max preamp outputs, the 7941 is listed as 5v max.

If theres any difference beyond that I dont see it.

Groovy, thanks for the info. Love my 7940! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

IVAW205 "ALPINE 2 DIN 6.5"" DVD TOUCH MONIT" 661.00

thats my cost from david moses. for the price doesnt seem half bad if itll do navi as well. (With the blackbird. watch that thing be 500, my cost on the current is about 440) so i guess it still comes up to about a g.

Whos David Moses? Company, distributer, dealer...?

Take to heart that the w205, and w200 for that matter are barebone units. If you want nav, you have to add it. If you want any kind of audio adjustment, you'll need to additional h701 (since it only has bass and treble by itself)...
