Post pics of your headunit

[GotToyota?]

I searched, didn't see anything like this, so I'll start it. Post pics of your headunit/audio setups. I'll post a pic of mine when I get home later from work tonight.

HAH! I was wondering how well a ball hitch shift knob would work. How do you like it? I assume it would feel similar to the Greddy Counterweight knob.

^^I sell CD Players/Indash/GPS, etc etc...That JVC is a CD Player I always recommend to customers...and at that, I'm going to be getting it myself...mostly because of the USB Port. 4Gig worth of memory into my CD player is PLENTY for me...and BTW, It's not iPOD "enabled"..but iPOD "READY". ;)

[mattjk]

[Big Wang Bandit]

I require pics of ass wipeage

[SupraBlur]

Aha, when he gets $100's for toilet paper, the $20 can be demoted to dog toilet paper.

So SupraBlur, what do you recommend in a headunit that is A, a navagation system, B a video player, and C puts out good sound.

[SupraBlur]

Well, the new Alpine double-din navigation is really good on paper and has an available ipod interface, but if you want ease of use and clean OEM-looking integration, you can't beat the Eclipse AVN 5495, with integrated 30gb hard drive.

They were discussing new product at SEMA a few weeks ago though, so if you're really in the market for it, I would wait until they unveil the new lineup, which should be demoing around CES time (first week in Jan) and release for the public by Spring.

"Good sound" is kind of a relative term because to an audiophile, they all kind of suck, but you can fix that with a processor like the Alpine PXA-H701 for the Alpine unit, or Rockford 3sixty for anything else. (you can actually use the PXA-H701 on any head unit, but for non-Alpine it requires an additional controller, whereas the Rockford unit uses a Palm device over Bluetooth).

I dont expect it to sound like our 800 watt 8.1 in the front room, but you know. a crisp decent sound.

I want navigation in my new supra, and connectivity with my ipod. Ill wait to see what CES shows me

[BorHor]

No more getting lost for you.

If your reference is an 800watt 8.1 system, then most high end navigation units will actually be pretty satisfying, depending on what else is in your system. These days their preamp voltage is pretty decent (compare 5V in AVN5495 to 2V preamp out in the previous AVN2454). But if you want clean ipod integration, you need the Alpine, unless Eclipse betrays their Sony loyalty (Sony is very anti-ipod because of the direct competition with their failed mp3 unit).

Plus the Alpine is easy to expand with the PXA-H701, which gives you a cleaner processor and competition-level adjustment (more than 6 pairs of preamp outputs with independent EQ, active crossover, and time correction). The H701 unit is present in a lot of IASCA Sound Quality-winning setups.

So to me it's a good platform, but you're right it's worth waiting to see what Eclipse has in store before deciding. The Eclipse nav will always be easier to use, it's basically a slightly older version of what is currently OEM in Lexus. According to my friend at Fujitsu-Ten, the next AVN revision will include Sirius satellite traffic and voice activation, which are current features in the new LS460L.

My sony unit supports my ipod. Using a jack. but none the less, has support. So anything with a headphone cable on the exterior would do me in!

Yes that works too, pretty much all high end head units will have an aux in, but Alpine units allow you to manipulate your ipod on-screen, which is cleaner, safer, and better for audio (since it is digital transfer to the head unit).

[Big Wang Bandit]

Yeah. no looking down at the ipod and switching crap.

Ill keep alpine at my #1 intrest spot for now

[89turbotoy]

i like my shift knob ok but i think i'm gonna cut the shifter lower tho.
