Hey guys I got a question for ya, I've been looking at In-dash DVD players. So far I really like the Pioneer's AVIC-N1 6.5 screen with a built in Navigation system and the AVH-P7500 about $300 or so more with a 7" screen. So what ya guys think I so go with? I also looked at Alpine new ones.

i've been shopping the Alpine IVA-D300 lately. if a GP could be done through someone somewhere, the price could be really nice...but i dont know of any audio/video type gp's around here.

I to would like to hear from anyone that owns either the AVIC-N1 or AVH-P7500DVD. It looks like they both have alot of nice features. The AVH-P7500DVD looks a little more performance oriented while the AVIC-N1 has a navagation systems and some other miscellaneous features. I don't really need a navagation system as I have other plans for that but I would like to hear any pro/cons from people that have installed them. About the display sizes...I'm a little confused. The AVH-P7500DVD advertises a 7" screen while the AVIC-N1 advertises a 6.5" screen yet they both have a 16:9 aspect ration and 1440x234 pixels???

ok.. not to bust your bubble, but I used to have the Kenwood KVT-911 in dash DVD w/ thouch screen..... most, if not ALL of the in dash touch screens are a Pain in the ass and don't work as well as they REALLY should for what they are and the $$$ you pay for them.


I just got the New Pionner HU DVH-5000mp. It looks like your normal head unit, but I purchased it for 380 the first day it came out. The features on it alone outdo ANY in dash dvd player w/ a screen in it. Plus, there is no 'brain' to mess with.

Now I have MP3, CD-RW, Windown media files, DVD on ANY monitor I want. It has outputs on the deck for 3 monitors. You can play the radio while watching a movie. It has a built in 20 band Digital Processor if that's not enough for you guys.


here's the link:

get the AVIC-N1 over the AVH-P7500DVD cause that navigation is cool because all you get more with the 7500DVD is a 1/2" biger screen but the navigation makes up for a little smaller screen I'm thinking about about upgrading my AVH-P6500DVD to the AVIC-N1

That pioneer unit that Chris99 was talking about really is a nice unit I did some research on it and it's awesome. Plus you can run that unit and put monitors where ever you want them it would look alot more custom than just another indash tv unit.

I agree with Chris99 and Bought99. I've got the DVH-P7000 and 2 Vizualogic monitors in my headrests. I'll be posting (hopefully in the next month) my monitor installation for the fronts once I get a chance to order and install. Well, order is easy. Finding time to install is the hard part. The deck has a all sorts of options...
