Finally found a perfect head unit!

[Shank2117]

Finally found a perfect head unit and didn't have to pay a fortune! I got tired of making CD's, i cant drive a car without my ipod!

I really wanted to get a double din custom installed, but every shop i spoke to wanted to charge me $500+ just for the labor of custom cutting/installing a double din.

One shop showed me this model and its like if it was made just for the viper!

The screen goes down, not up! so it dosn't cover the AC vents and it dosn't block the ac controls under it.

Its made by power acoustics.

It was only $350!

i like it a lot except the wire thats always visible....

 

[J&R3xV10]

is there a rear aux connection port on it that would allow you to run the wire to the glove box instead of the center console? and it looks like there is a large amount of gap cover on the front face, do you have a picture of it in the closed position?

 

[J&R3xV10]

is it touch screen? I have had issues with some of the touch screen interfaces before where the GUI buttons are too small and it makes it very difficult to use the controls while driving.

 

[Shank2117]

yeah its touch screen.

I dont mind the cable. I usually plug it into my iphone either way so i always need my phone at hand.

Im not sure if there is an aux in the rear.

 

[plumcrazy]

can you charge the iphone thru the cable while its plugged in to the head unit ? that would be kool if so

 

[Shank2117]

nope =/

It came with a mini-usb to ipod adapter, but it only charges the ipod, it didn't work with the iphone/itouch.

 

[WOT!]

I think I found the info you are looking for.

So it doesn't fold down/collapse into the head unit? It's always sticking out like that?

 

[paul tat]

what brand and model?

thanks

So, basically, its NOT the perfect headunit.

 

[Darbgnik]

Large screen without cutting up your dash, I would have to agree that would be the perfect Head Unit for some.

 

[Herc]

Head? Who said head?

p.s. Isn't there a cable that will connect the ipod to the RB1?

still waiting for a picture showing the "closed" view.

Got the iPod interface cable in mine, and I can't imagine ever going back. It allows me to operate the iPod from the nav system, it displays title/artist/track, and it charges the little fellow too. Much cheaper than an elaborate new head unit. Going to get one in my wife's car next.

Hey, have any of you considered the pioneer single DIN solution ?

The AVIC series has a roll-out/retractable LCD screen that is a functional touchscreen and DVD player big enough to read when the Navigation mode is operating. I have the older model AVIC-N3 installed in my Coupe. Love it.

I have complete control of the I-POD and when I am driving at excessively high speeds I can even watch a DVD.

Not inexpensive though....
