DVD/Navigation System

I was just wondering if anyone new if there are any good DVD Players/Navigation combo units out there. I had the Garmin Nuvi 350 but then my car was broken into and it got stolen. so therefore I am in search of a new navigation system that also functions as a DVD player. The only ones I found so far in my search was:

1. Delphi TNR800 - navigation system with DVD-ROM, CD player, radio and LCD
2. Pioneer AVIC-N2 In-Dash DVD/CD Receiver w/ LCD Monitor and Navigation
3. Delphi TNR800 - navigation system with DVD-ROM, CD player, radio and LCD

I am looking for one that is Touch screen. Replace the stock cd player I have in my car. Hopefully someone knows. Help a fellow EVOer out... Thanks.

avicn2 is out of date, i would reccomend the avic n3 from pioneer, if money isnt an issue id suggest the Eclipse AVN 7000.. retail is about 2200 bucks but its a killer unit.. 20gig built in hard drive, 7 inch touchscreen, DVD, DVD-R, MP3, WMA, full audio control, 5v preamp out puts.. doesnt haven any of those pain in the *** seperate navigation boxes like pioneer either.. and as far as bypassing the video ebrake module.. its simple

I've been researching the same thing. The Pioneer series double din units look really nice, the higher end models are basically "car puters" with 30 gig HD and lots of bells and whistles. Can save a lot of money off retail if you are cool with EBAY. Search there.

i have the eclipse avn-5500 double din that has 1 dvd/cd/navi player and the other is a cd player.

I can sell it to you for $1,000 if you want it, used less than 1 week and it is complete with everything including latest navi CD avilable.

Alpine IVA-D310, a little expensive but great. Blackbird Navigation ready, around $1,000 new. Touchscreen feels like a button too...its awesome.

I was reading about this, but I didnt really see anything about navigation in it. I saw something called "navigation input." I assume that means you can install it on it? From the way I read it, it seems like this is a dvd/cd player alone but you can somehow add navigation in. Do you know more?

My budget is flexible. I mean, if the system is a nice dvd/cd player and has great navi system that is user friendly and looks hot I am willing to spend the $$. I'd say 1k ~ 2k. Thats my price range.

The Eclipse AVN7000 has the Navi built in, or look at the Kenwood kvt719-dvd. It is a bit cheaper and you just buy the navi box to add.

Is it just a navi system? I want a system that acts both as a navi and dvd player!

Search "orbital" and you will see what most double din units look like in our dashes. Units that play dvds and have nav are the Pioneer Avic N1-3, Avic Z1 and 2, almost all the current Eclipse units, and there are a couple of Kenwood and Clarion units out there. Alpine has fallen behind the game in this pack.
