The eclipe that I saw looked amazing but I wanted to know if there are any others that fit comfortable in the space...

check out these pics
that Eclipse AVX2494 system looks awesome, has a 20Gig HD and touchscreen. But I have no idea how much it cost.... anyone else have a dvd system and some pics?

 

Wow !! That really looks good. I just have a few questions about putting a DVD player in the scion tc like that.

Is that a touch screen menu or do you control it with the little buttons?

Also, I have heard that you have to "shave" the DVD player before it is mounted so that it can fit....is that true and where would I go to have my DVD player installed?

Are there any problems/side effects/negative issues with installing the DVD player?

 

nice, very clean pics! Thats what i want for my tC

There is also Avic series from Pioneer, I'm going after AVIC-D1

 

The eclipse above is a touch screen

No alteration of the dvd player, just sometimes you have to drill new holes in the Iso brackets of the car to recess it back further, allowing it to clear the door.

 

any word on the avn5495 coming out yet?

 

not anytime soon, but as u'd have already known, avn5435 is already out! havent seen in store yet!

 

Sorry the pics are a little big. This one fits nice.

Kenwood DDX-7015

 

by the way the eclipse shown i think retails for 3,000 and the kenwood shown retails for about 1,000.

 

The Eclipse is on ebay for about 1,250 last time I searched for it. I wanted to buy it, but I don't know if I want to do put it in my car.

 

triplesix: I love the inside of your car.



Just wanted t let you know. : )

 

whats great about our car is that we have a cover and somewhere to put those type of headunits on so perfectly and ppl wont be able to see it and jack it. unlike other cars, its easy to tell

 

yea they have the avx2404 on ebay for like 1100, but the msrp, i am now positive, for the 2494 is 3000.

 

i bought the eclipse avx-2494 and i love it i paid 1400 for it on ebay with s/h it's really easy to install too

 

Yeah kinda a hard decision. The kenwood looks sweet, has a bigger screen but NO digital 5.1 decoder built-in. Personally I'm all about the digital sound so............... You can grab both of them of ebay NEW for about 1000$
Decisions, decisions Lifes so Hard .

 

The eclipse avn 24xx's go for ~$1200 on ebay. the avn 5435's (an updated 24xx model) go for close to $2000 on ebay. I found a shop that was selling them for $1700. I have not bought one from them yet tho.

The elcipse units are made by fujitsu ten, the company that produces the NAV systems for toyota, so the install is a *direct* plug and play....read: no adpaters required. The wiring harness that slips into your stock head unit will slip directly into the Eclipse. Plus, the Eclipse units are double drives, meaning you can have a the NAV dvd in one drive, and a cd in the other drive. So you can get NAV directions and listen to music at the same time

 

my contribution.......

 

anybody put a rear cameras with it?

 

Oh yea! I saw the Eclipse AVN2454 w/ rear-view camera, looked awesome!

 

just remember...the pioneer is dvd-rom only for nav. You need to hook up a dvd changer to play dvds.

 

Yeah that really blows on the Pioneer HU. I would have gotten that one if it wasn't built like that. Instead I have the Kenwood which is really nice.
