Default Double Din MP3/DVD advice

Hey guys
I want to buy a double din stereo that also plays DVDs. I would prefer something with a screen, but those seem to be too expensive. Any advice i nterms of the brands and models that make something. My main purpose is to play dvd music discs in the car, so that I can enjoy my whole music collection.

I cam across this http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-PYLE-VIEW-PL...QQcmdZViewItem

anyone have any experience with PYLE?

Pyle is one of the lower-end brands out there... I have yet to see any major retailer sell them, so that must mean something.

I had a screen from them back in the day and it was ok....

It's a hard call.... Price > Quality...

Same here, back in the day I used to own a Pyle DIN sized DVD player w/o screen (what was I thinking?) and the damn thing broke within weeks. It ate one of my CDs and would power up, but you couldn't do anything. No radio, no CD, no anything...

Remember, although a lot of different brands are produced at the same manufacturer, there's a reason why we have different brands... Better brand = Better quality. You get what you pay for.

i found this, but its japanese, so dont know if I would have any issues with usability, compatability, etc.

With Eclipse head units, a certified retailer needs to install them or you dont get the warranty
