ps. I didn't use the trim piece that came with it. I used a Metra kit for the install and didn't need that trim piece.

pps. I have since relocated my GPS to just above where it is in these pics so that it doesn't block my view of the W200 at all.

snova - i toally agree

however double dins are also more expensive, and if you get the screens, 2 or 3 times as expensive.

its all to do with the budget.

as far as the UI goes for the screens, i have not been impressed ONCE with the user interface from any screen unit ive worked with.

until they stop looking like applications out of windows 3.1 i refuse to buy them.

There not really that much more expensive, if any...

Look at the D2- although it doesn't do DVD, it's $500 cheaper then the N3. The Eclipse 5495 is cheaper then the AVN7000 IIRC, and have just about the same features.

The Alpine W200 can be had for less then $1000, probably a little less then the D310...
