Now I have a hard time believing that, even if you were told that by someone at backstage, just because it would cost toyota more to buy OEM'd equipment from Apline when they OWN eclipse! Wouldnt it be cheaper to use their own company and make a navi? Plus the design of everything ive seen on the Navi unit they have including the software suggests that its an eclipse HU.

Just my $0.02

I have heard that it is an Alpine too, and as far as the eclipse deal why didn't they install an eclipse dvd player in the RS3?

Default the AVN Scion navigation unit Misconceptions


There seem to be a lot of questions about this radio and who makes it.
1. It is made jointly by Aisin and Alpine
2. It does have full iPod control capablitily
3. No pre-amp outputs (sorry only the Pioneer premium has that currently)
How do I know this I have personally taken one out of a car and read the manufacturer's ID label.
Still it is a great set up I wish I had on in my gen1 b
