    No JL Audio and no Alpine. Sorry, they are both super protected lines and I don't sell anything that I am not an authorized dealer of. Not how I operate.

    I'm hoping to get my website up and running here shortly.

    Nope, I've had bad luck with Pioneer in the past and won't even consider picking them up again. Ever.

    If you dont have pioneer or alpine what do you recommend for indash lcd screens? I want something that can do DVD/NAV/Ipod. I really liked the new pioneer for the fact that it can play videos from your Ipod, is there anyone else coming out with that in the near future? Also, do any of them have AV inputs in the back cause I know that you can buy AV cables for an Ipod to play movies or shows on a TV. And lastly do you have anything that comes with a built in Hard Drive?

    yes...please PM me a price and also a description on how the wiring works. Is the deck removeable at all? I presume not since its a in-dash 2 din unit. I dont suppose there is a way you can make it work so that you may watch movies while driving.

    I've never tried.....I'd have to see if they have any distributors as I don't really want to get into a commitment with any more manufacturers. Meeting their commitments with a town the size of fargo sucks.

    Lets just say I can beat the price crutchfield lists quite easily. I can't beat ebay pricing or anything like that, but I will do my best to get close. Keep in mind that by buying from me you get FULL factory warranty and not some cheesy "store" warranty from a "store" that may/may not be around in 2 weeks.

    Press "<ctrl> A" for pricing while viewing my reply to hakstern.

    How the wiring works? Just like any other radio on the planet really, there are ipod interface cables that tie the ipod/ipod video into the unit, its not an RCA connection. As for the CeNet interface, its just an interface cable/data bus that transmits power/signal/control information to the downstream accessories (surround sound, etc...)

    It's not a removable deck. And yes, you can make it work while driving, it requires a $2 rocker switch that will allow you to switch the e-brake wire from ground-to-open-to-ground again....then you can watch video.

    Sweet...When I was asking about wiring I was wondering how much work was involved with it? Like would I have to do a complete re wire of my current Alpine set up to make it work or would it be pretty straight forward switch over. Thanks for the price and I will be getting back to you sometime soon hopefully

    You'll have to rewire the harness going to the deck, but the wire colors should be the same. Other than that (w/o seeing/knowing anything about your alpine setup) it should be straight forward. If you have any processors/changers/etc.. on alpines ai-net databus they most likely will not interface with the Clarion CE-Net databus

    its an outboard navigation unit that interfaces with the MAX675VD. NAX970HD

    It is about the same price as the deck itself....at least that was preliminary pricing, I haven't looked into the pricing lately and my distributor doesn't have that part listed on their site yet.

    That one is probably the best of the bunch when it comes to good price for a nav unit. I can get Kenwood stuff as well, but its similar priced and not as good (IMHO) for what you get. 30GB hard drive, no disc to load for nav since its all on board, allowing 15GB of use for MP3 storage and (I think....gotta double check) video storage.

    The only other option would be carpc's. You might be able to save a few dollars there (maybe) but a lot of times you end up giving up some other features to do so. I sell car pc's as well.

    JVC is releasing a new DVD/Nav/HD option that I will be able to sell for under $1000, sounds like it might be around $800 actually. I'll know more in a few days.

    what year is the impreza that you have? I can build custom for the price of most prefabbed custom fits.

    JL just released a stealth box for the wrx/sti that might work with your impreza as well (depending on year). While I'm not a JL dealer, it is an option to consider.

    from JVC themselves:

    JVC Introduces the EXAD-Series KD-NX5000, a 1-DIN HDD-Navigation DVD/CD Receiver with a Built-In 3.5-Inch Wide Monitor

    Now joining JVC’s high-end EXAD line is the KD-NX5000, a 1-DIN HDD-navigation DVD/CD receiver with a built-in 3.5-inch monitor. This receiver has a built in HDD with a total of a 40GB capacity: 16GB for map navigation and 24GB for music. The superb HDD navigation provides quick and easy destination search, with data on more than 13 million points of interest (POI). The music server can store approximately 5000 songs in MP3, WAV or WMA format. You can navigate and play CDs at the same time. With additional devices, the KD-NX5000 is also compatible with Bluetooth® Wireless Technology, a rear-view camera, and an iPod®.

    Navigation Highlights

    HDD Map Navigation
    The HDD navigation contains map coverage of the U.S. (all 50 states), Canada and the U.S. Virgin Islands, with voice guidance in three languages (English/French/Spanish). The high-sensitivity WAAS-enabled GPS gives you accurate navigation, while the built-in RDS-TMC tuner helps avoid traffic jams with real-time traffic information. Destinations can be searched for in multiple ways: POI (category/name/vicinity/phone number), address, last 50 destinations, favorite destinations and latitude/longitude. Points of Interest are grouped into easy to use categories such as restaurants, gas stations and hotels.

    HDD Media Receiver Highlights

    24 GB Music Server
    The massive 24GB HDD music server is compatible with MP3, WMA and WAV files, and is capable of storing the equivalent of 5000 songs in MP3 or WMA format. For CD tracks recorded and played on the system, JVC-original Lossless Encoder Technology retains the original high quality. GIGA MP3 MULTI is extremely useful for managing huge archives—its high-speed copy function transfers a 60-minute MP3 disc in 1.5 minutes. Track information (album title, artist name, song title) can be easily tagged by burning PC-ripped CD contents onto a CD-ROM, then uploading them.

    Navigation, Movies and Music Are All-in-One
    The navigation system can play CD music, DVD movies, CDs and DVDs with JPEG still photos, MPEG 1/2 video files, or DivX® movies (DivX® Ultra Certified). Images or song information are displayed on the wide 3.5-inch monitor.

    HDD Navigation Advantages

    The large-capacity HDD contains a vast amount of map information, with no need to change discs like with DVD navigation. More than 13 million POI are provided to help search for restaurants, gas stations, hotels, etc.

    RDS-TMC Tuner
    The KD-NX5000 comes with a built-in RDS-TMC traffic tuner. Pressing the “Traffic†key on the remote control gives you real-time information on traffic jams, accidents, road narrowing and more.
    *Subscription service required

    Advanced Navigation Features
    The system features high-speed route calculation and map viewing from two angles (2D/3D), for greatly enhanced convenience. Updating the HDD map is simple—just purchase an update disc online and load it to the system.

    Bluetooth® Wireless Technology
    An optional adapter (KS-BTA200) allows wireless connection with compatible mobile phones and digital audio players. A maximum of five mobile phones can be registered for hands-free calling. With voice-recognition mobile phones, you can dial by just saying the name in your phone book. The wireless functions work even if your mobile phone is tucked away in your bag or pocket. You can also stream music from a compatible digital audio player, for listening on your car stereo.

    Ready for iPod®
    Your iPod can be connected with the optional KS-PD100 Adapter and controlled with the headunit.

    Built on Microsoft® Windows® Automotive Platform
    The KD-NX5000 is built on Microsoft Windows Automotive technology for its stable and reliable multimedia functionality that enables future generations of in-car digital lifestyle.

    KV-CM1KD- Optional Rear-View Camera
    An optional rear-view camera can be attached for greater safety. Its ultra-compact size allows it to be set up wherever you like.

    yeah, I know...that was the same thought I had when I saw it. If anything I'll probably do the 1din in the clock location and a 7" Lilliput/Xenarc monitor in the factory radio slot w/ a car-pc in the center console. Why they aren't doing a 2Din w/ those features is beyond me.

    Do you have the sub(s) yet or are you going to be needing them with the box as well? If so, which subs do you have (make/model) and are you looking for ported or sealed? If you don't have the sub(s) yet, are there any from my lineup that you would be interested in? Infinity, MTX, RE Audio, and DB Drive would be my suggested products for subs.
