Crutchfield has it for only $600 with install kit, harness, bluetooth adapter, etc.
Should get it on Friday, so I'll most likely install it on Saturday morning.

I was going to get one of the Pioneer units, but the cheaper one (4000something) didn't have Nav, and I didn't want to spend $800 for the new ones or the D3. Then I saw the Eclipse which was regular $1,200 but on sale for only $600. They have a new model coming out, so I'm guessing they just want to get rid of them. Plus I've heard that Eclipses are some of the easiest to install, they're supposed to be basically plug and play for Toyotas.
eclipse is nice i like it alot. pioneers are good yes but alil pricey and eclipse performs just aswell and is a reliable company aswell. 600 is a good damn price for a brand new one, people on here sell used pioneers for that much if not more

It's $600 everywhere, Amazon, eBay...Prob could have found it for cheaper, but Crutchfield has amazing packages for these things. The only thing I need to buy for it is the XM tuner, which is about $85 on eBay...so $700 for literally everything.
No money for Advans .
have an option here shortly for you so you wont have to buy the expensive wheels for the 5 x 100 bolt pattern

And as I do not remember did you end up modifying your chargepipes?
Let me know as I will gladly send you the 3 new pieces of the new style pipe kit. (least I can do for all your patience)
regards-
Todd

No I never modified them. I didn't find the need to because the cold side wasn't too low (about 1" lower than the jack point) but right now the top of the Greddy BOV hits my hood.

iv only found one spot that i scrap and thats at TheFantasticG's house. his drive way has a sharp drop off that if you just haul butt down it the car bounces when it hits the road and scraps the poop outa the cold side pipe. I learned my lesson...lol
D3 >>>> 6620. I installed a 6620BT on my friends 07 G35 coupe, I was not impressed by the user interface at all. The ipod/sat radio interface in no where as nice as the D3/F-series. I also think the pioneer screen is more vibrant than the eclipse. I hope you like it though Jon, I may just be spoiled by my D3.

I wanted to get the D3, but to get everything I got with the 6620 (XM tuner, iPod, bluetooth, plug n play harness, steering wheel harness...), it would have been over $900 new...and I wasn't about to spend that much lol. The D3 has been my #1 option for the longest time, but when I saw this deal on the Eclipse, I couldn't pass it up.
But atleast my screen is bigger than yours
.
I was even looking at the new Pioneer units, but they were out of the price range I wanted to spend. The main reason I'm getting it, is for Sat and Nav. I didn't want to spend $300 for all the crap needed to make the stock radio Sat ready and then $200 for a Nav...so I spent an extra $150 to get it all in one unit.
If I was gonna go all out, I would have bought the Z2. :D
