what is a good in dash navigation system for the fd.

 

I thought a few people on here have the AVIC N1, 2 or 3, as well as double din D series as well.

 

i am using a avic-d3 pioneer it works really well. If you have the money I would look into the higher model.Just to compare. Also the Eclipse goig for around1250-1300 i have good things about. I forget the model number it might be 5500

 

Yeah, the pioneer AVIC series is very nice. Also Eclipse makes a double din stereo with TOMTOM built in and i thought it was pretty cool

 

im using an eclipse avn 5500 and its amazing i have a brandnew avn 5510 bt new in box untouched possibly for sale but haveing it is amazing i've planned a nice cruise and detours when i travel to jacksonville and when im out with friends on late night cruises to other towns its amazing knowing immediatly how the town is set up !

 

i've heard that the 5510 cant play dvds unless you take out the gps cd is that right? ...i really want one but thats going to be annoying to do that.

 

but there is also a wire that can be fixed to work so that way you don't have to take out the gps.

 

a wire? unless im missing something...i dont think a wire would fix having only one spot for the DVD or the gps CD...

 

I believe the wire you're referring to is the wire that connects to the e-brake so which you just ground somewhere and it allows you to watch DVDs while driving... Otherwise you can only play DVDs with an engaged parking brake...

 

I would also assume that's the wire he mentioned.

 

no no...what i mean is that i would like to watch dvds without taking out the gps cd. ...the 5510 has only a single disc player, not a dual disc player.

 

ya, its only a single disc driver. and i know it sucks, but the idea is that the gps would be used when you are moving, and the dvd when not moving.
and who uses the gps ALL THE TIME? whats the point?
just ground it out like it should be (to the tranny tunnel) and you can always watch the dvd when moving.

peace
