Anyone have any ideas for a good replacement head unit for the 2006 tC?

 

you'll need a double din. stop by the shop on monday and i'll have rich show you some replacements.

 

i suggest the pioneer avic d1. cheap (as far as nav systems go)and really good.

you can find them for like..$950 on ebay (stores sell for $1600)

 

I may have missed it but will it play DVD's? If so also wile the car is in motion? I know some of the NAV systems wont play video if you hook up to the speed sensor.

 

I'm pretty sure the D1 doesn't play DVDs, the DVD drive is only for the navigation data discs.

 

i think only eclipse requires you to hook up to the speed sensor. if it has a parking break wire, tap it to ground and it will always thing the parking break is one

 

the d1 has a gyro. and it does NOT play dvds. you have to get an external dvd player...but you can use nav and dvd at the same time if you do that...the motion thing can be bypassed though. with the eclipse you can just ground the wire that runs to the brake, but i dont know about the d1. i heard it was a bit harder.

-eclipse avn25whatever it is..you can get it for around 900
-eclipse avn5435(new one) can get for about 1400 - 1700 depends on where you go
-pioneer avic d1you can get for about 950 (best navigation ive seen)


theres more out there..but i just think those are some of the best ones out there.

 

For the eclipse 5435, is the e-brake wire the only one that needs to be moved to allow the unit to function as we'd want? Which is the e-brake wire (there are obviously not instructions for this that come with the unit Roll On Floor Laughing )

 

Well you are going to want the D2, not D1. That is an older model. The D2 is around 715 shipped on Ebay. I just got one for my wifes car.
No you cant play DVDs. No you cant just ground the brake. The unit knows. even if you pull the break alittle while moving it knows and locks everything out. There is a bypass but it involves opening the unit and soldering to bypass.
But you can always hook an external DVD player up to the backup camera. That will work.

 

That's not for the eclipse though, i'm asking about the eclipse 5435

 

i have the kenwood ddx7017and i love it
