thats a good unit no doubt, but doesnt the nav read off a disc? from when i was playin with one it lagged big time and if you switch from nav to a movie, you need to change discs, the general gui looks amazing from the box, but again, the ipod features lag quite a bit, imo id get what i got because of its speed, then just dress up the gui to your liking with round buttons instead of squares.. etc
also i dont believe the nav updates too well and a good amount of back roads are not mapped, also the routing doesnt associate speed limits to different roads - aka a development road thats 2 mi long @ 25mph it views the same as 2mi on 65mph highway... little things, but they get annoying sometimes
for the price you cant beat it for a touch screen even though it doesnt have pulse touch, but great for a double din... and x2 for mounting it flush, test the motorized face a few times to ensure fitment, but dont leave it hangin out there by too much... spend the extra 10 mins when installing to make it look like it belongs there
you know why they put sheep at the edge of a cliff.... that way they push back!(2:27:32 AM) edit: please f*cking work, f*ck, sh*t, piss(2:28:08 AM) edit: that did the trick
just curious, how much do you guys pay for double din units down in the states?..cheapest one ive found around here for any in dash dvd player has been $800 for a single din..and thats for a crappy one. I kinda wanna get a double din unit, if i can find a good place to mount my neo other than the lower din pocket.
all accessories for mine was like 1200, for the unit itself, harness, nav

r those touchscreen?
i thought there were US laws prohibiting video on the front seats? back is OK, since they're not driving. does it vary state by state? how about New England states?
my issue with DD is that it still doesn't do EVERYTHING a carputer does.... so do people go with carputers+touchscreen? for example, DD doesn't handle flac/ogg and many prop. formats that could be handled by carputers. plus, with carputers, u can replace the GPS/map program if you don't like it. DD's with hard installed GPS programs could suck... overtime. AND u can do surf off of public wifi (provided you clear the legal ramifications).
Yes, it is a touch screen.
It is only illegal to view movies and GPS maps while the car is on motion. Most dvd/navigation systems aren't able to allow the user to view these options when this happens, the system simply shuts off. I however, rewired mine so i can view mine while the car is in motion. For those of you which have an AVID-D3, i can tell u how. Or i may post a How-to later.
I used to like the idea of a car computer, but i changed my mind on it. This is my thoughts on that idea. IT would be nice to view many of the features that it offers, however many of those are also offered through these multimedia players as well. Another thing is. You can't have internet all the time when your on the road (like u said, u'll have to post up near a cafe or what not and park ur car there). One of the main reasons why i chose not to car computer, is because the screen would be to small to do anything spectacular with. Font would be small. The screen would only be 7" max, without any modifications. If i was gonna have a car computer, i would just go ahead and get myself a laptop w/ a bolt-on stand. Btw, i think its pretty cool that the AVIC-D3 has options to monitor car dynamics anyway !

Also with a carputer, its said to not be able to be damaged as easily as a regular hard drive, but constant bumping and shaking will cause any harddrive to go kaputz after a while. Trust me!

there are already hard disks made for such applications.
i haven't seen any DD's able to handle the same things a carputer can.
Well u seem stuck with car computer so go ahead and get one.

i have a car computer, with a laptop hard drive that is rated for 300 or so operating Gs and like 800 non operating Gs. its been in there for... 5 months and i havent had any problems. my screen isn't the best install butt it is 15 inches. cops stare but never say anything. i got my car inspected with it there too. im debating getting the 7" touch screen though and relocating the bigger screen somewhere..

Good one, I can take a picture of my computer screen as well.
Looks nice though. Specs?
'97 ST\ Eibach \ KYB \ Kenwood \ Alpine \ Cusco \ OEM+[sold 10/18]'93 MX-5LE
That's sweet lemonade. What are the specs, brother? I've always wanted something like that, but I don't have a double DIN panel. If I could source one, I would rock that.

i got it off ebay from a seller in japan who sells mainly used double-din stereos.. i saw this one and i immediately liked the factory appearance with the 4:3 screen ratio and the green lighting to match the stock interior. i can't find any specs online as it's not a popular stereo and it's pretty old. it doesn't have a cd/dvd slot, just cassette, but i have a dvd player hooked up to it located beneath the passenger seat. it also has a built-in tv tuner (came with 4 antennas which i mounted on the rear hatch cover), front and rear audio/video input, mic input (karaoke! lolz
), and gps (which doesn't work). it needed an FM band expander to get the radio working and i also added a bluetooth A2DP audio unit to play music and GPS directions wirelessly off my phone or laptop on long trips. this + the 8 speaker system is enough to keep me satisfied.
