Way old bump to update you guys a lil bit about the unit and how its treated me through out the years. It still is going strong, except one of my LED's went out on the EQ button. Not a big deal. Navi is still amazing, althought with the new versions of the unit they have new navi discs so i have to pay for those updated versions....which i guess i will eventually, but $250 is pricy. I've been thinking of updating my screen tho to a Alpine and get an alpine navigation unit as well simply because the ipod functionality of the newer units simply s*** on the one I have right now. Also, the new AVIC's have their whole lockout attached to the speedometer where if you are over 10mph you can't enter navi information, watch a dvd etc. Now, its not like I do this while driving often....but I do when I have a friend in the car who wants to watch a movie or enter the navi input himself. The current Alpine's still use their brake, hand brake, brake routine which has a bypass box u can buy on ebay....so i'm debating this move. Does anyone have any reviews of the newer alpine headunits/navigation? Or does anyone have any good news on the new AVIC's?
