Should be.... It is, it takes me about 2-3 seconds to populate a new route or make any changes I need to like avoiding tolls or major road ways...

Lil Rico, hows the camera working for you? Is it discreetly installed in there? can it be noticed quickly by walking next to it? thinking of purchasing it too but not sure how i can hide it...

I love that camera!!! It was the best thing I could have bought for my DNX7100!!! People know I have a camera when I go into reverse in a car show or something and they're trying to explain to me how much room I have and they see I don't look at my mirrors or anything and drive straight back, perfectly every time!! No one has a clue unless they're looking for it. It's smaller then a quarter and it's black, so it blends really good with the license plate. I'm not driving my EVO now since I sent my motor to Buschur for a stage 3 build, but man I miss that camera in everything I drive. No matter if it's pitch black night with not a single light in the world or if it's the brightest day in the year, that camera produces some of the clearest and smoothest video I have ever seen out of any camera. Period!

The DNX7100 to me is by far the best double din system you can buy. I mean the Navi is so damn fast, I hate going in ones that have to have the CD in it to work... Just gay!! For offthecha1n, I have never bought anything for my car off of Ebay, but times like this, Ebay has the best prices for that stuff. DNX7100 I got mines for a little over $900 shipped. The cam I got for a little over $120 shipped. If you go to places like Crutchfield, they got it there for like $1,200 just for the DNX7100.. ouch.. I got mines, new, wrapped, un-open and with warranty off of Ebay, and that was over 6 months ago, so give it a look! The prices should have dropped also

Not sure how they stay around with those prices, but daym!!

The only grip i have is that i NEED traffic updates, and the only way to get them is with XM NAV TRAFFIC????? I am a sirius guy. No way i am installing 2 satellite radios in the car!



I am about to pull the trigger on a Eclipse AVN6610 (dvd based nav using SIRIUS TRAFFIC)

PS: orbital install sucks. I had to cut out some dash bracing to get my HVAC controls to fit. No big deal but they sure as hell dont tell you that when you order.

i was gonna do a Kenwood unit i would do this one:



地上デジタルTVチューナー付属7V型タッチパネルHDD/USB/DVD/CDカーナビゲーションシステム
newImage(2007,10,24)

希望小売価格 304,500円
(本体価格 290,000円)



Pioneer, i would rock this:

Pioneer AVIC-VH009 Carrozzeria, the ultimate solution

Rate this News:
This is THE killer product of the day when it comes to car electronics (I say "of the day" because tomorrow there's a press conference by Panasonic about the same kind of products ). Pioneer presents this AVIC-VH009, available in 5 versions, but we'll look at the high-end and 2500 EUR version, the AVIC-VH009MD. It has a 7" screen, 5.1 amp, TV, Video DVD, CD, MD, HDD, 3D GPS and WMA/MP3/DivX/DTS/Dolby compatibility.

You go to Kenwood's site and there it has a page were you can buy upgraded map. What you do is go to the unit, hold the eject button and the SD slot appears. Put the SD from Kenwood in it and all the updated maps go on it. It's that EZ!

Yes, you can by pass it, I can watch movies and do anything as I drive, you just get a little warning from Kenwood when you turn the car on. I recently modded it to view my rear cam as I drive =) Now I wanna hook a recorded to it t see if I can record me kicking somone *** as I run them =)
