View Full Version : Sat nav, DVD playing all in one head unit?
Hiya,
I've been thinking about this for some time now. I've done a search but didn't really find much.
I want a single din TV screen which will play DVD's, CD's tune into the radio and have Sat nav. I know Clarion do a touch screen jobbie but I've been warned off it by the bloke in the car audio shop down the street, and the fact that touch screen is just a PITA. What do you guys suggest?
Cheers

I was told that you had to keep cleaning the screen, and in the end it would turn a kinda yellow colour and then it would be difficult to see anything on.
Perhaps the person who told me that was just a very grubby person :(

Whilst I too, dislike touch-screen, I'd have to say, the Clarion in very good value for the money.
Personally, I'd get the Alpine IVA-D900R... A fair bit more expensive, but the quality is superb. (And no naff touchscreen!)
As for Sat-Nav, you won't find a head unit that has Sat-Nav built in. - Again, I'd go for Alpine... In fact, I have both the above :D
Clarions navi system isn't too clever :(
Aint Pioneer is bringing out a new all-in-one thingy (SAT.NAV/DVD/CD/RDS) later this year...AVIC-9 something i think its called? ;)
Cant comment on what sat.navs. that are any good though...cause in Norway only Blaupunkt and VDO Dayton sat.nav systems have got maps to cover all of norway... Major bummer :mad:
Have to agree twith Mat tho...on the DVD/SCREEN/CD/RDS players...the Clarion is my fav too ;)
