2Din Headunits / Navigation

[bigkevracer]

So I'm looking for a new headunit to replace my VZ400A, which I have a love/hate relationship with.

The car currently has a TV tuner wired to the headunit, which then sends out the video signal to the stock screen and the headrest monitors. I'm also hoping to hook a HKS CAMP2 up to the head unit, and if possible would like something that is able to output CAMP2 to one screen, and DVD/TV to another. Haven't worked out the best way to connect yet.

Looking to replace the headunit with something that has CD/DVD/GPS Nav/iPhone integration/bluetooth/etc, but reviews are a little thin on the ground. I'm wondering who else has fitted something like this.

What I've looked at so far is:

Pioneer AVIC-F40BT: http://www.pioneer.c...40BT/index.html

Alpine INA-W910RC: http://alpine.com.au...php?item_id=277

Kenwood DNX7310BTNAV: http://au.kenwood.co...ms/DNX7310BTNAV

Blaupunkt New York 800: =1562&no_cache=1&L=1"]http://www.blaupunkt.de/index.php?id=959&tx_ddfproducts2_pi1[view]=1562&no_cache=1&L=1

Eclipse AVN827GA: http://www.eclipse-w...tion/avn/827ga/

To me, they look like 5 versions of the same thing (except the Blau, which has buttons and a slightly smaller screen). Has anyone played with any of these, installed them, had them in their car or has any opinions?

Before you ask, I'll be doing speakers/amp at the same or similar time, so speaker output isn't important.

I had an alpine double din DVD player in one of my old cars, very easy to use. Loved it, never had GPS on it though so can't help there.

avic f40 = quickish nav ok.

alpine = over hyped navi mediocre

kenwood. win ce6 based feature ok. navi is garmin based.

blau = not bad check that the unit has been updated. these had issues with BT on IP4. navi is good.

eclipse - go play with a base toyota with navi - same unit. installed several. reasonably quick. decent unit.

Cheers guys.

Chris, do you stock any of those, and/or ship interstate?

Sounds like it's the Pioneer, Blau or Eclipse. Prefer the bigger screens of the Pioneer and Eclipse, and looks like the F40 is cheaper.

kenwood and blau I do. can ship either interstate.

The Asuka TV tuner I have in my Stagea plays to all 3 screens like your tuner and it also plays the reverse picture only to the front screen when triggered. So you could put the HKS camp into AV1 and when 12v is supplied to the reverse signal then what ever is played through AV1 will only show on the front screen and the dvd / tv will be on your rear screens.
