Default 2DIN Head unit with GPS

Hey anyone in the car audio.... looking for options with 2 DIN head unit and hopefully something with built in GPS.

Done some net research and some very pricey units out there. Prefer not to be spending thousands upon thousands.

Just sourcing at the moment as haven't actually secured new car yet. But if purchase does go through will want to replace the OEM single din deck with something like this.

Let the feedback begin

Cheers, Paul

in audio, you pay for wat u get.

Don't believe the Ebay ones saying support gps, those ones just have rca input and can be connected to a Gps device which has video out put and u can't actually use the touch screen to control it.

or u can buy 2nd hand factory unit from overseas but you haven to upgrade your own map and they might come with other language. i've seen some gd merc ones with gps very cheap

Paul, If I was you, I would buy a normal CD player, and a Tom Tom or Navman, its the most effective way to get the 2 things you want. Also, probably cheaper.

When companies try and integrate GPS into Double Din CD/MP3/DVD player's it becomes costly, and that cost is passed onto the consumer.

Do you mean the AVN 6000 or is there a new one out I can't find on the web site. Would love a 6000 but just can't justify that much dosh on a stereo when the Mrs turns it off everytime she is in the car with me anyway.

Yeah have an appreciation for you get what you pay for. Just don't have a bottomless pit of cash to spend on audio.

Meat was that AVN 4000? I've seen the 6000 and 2210 but can't seem to track down the 4000.

Any websites you can direct me to?

Yeah that's option 2 Kym, just like the neat look of single unit intergration.
Either way I'll be looking for a 2 din system to replace the bodgey OEM single.

See how I go once I've picked the car up.

ahhh yes, as i was writing i couldnt remember if it was 4 or 6000, ater much debate i decided to just put 4 cus i like that number, my bad.

i can understand tryin to con your missus, i just spent a dickload on my stereo and the missus only listens to girl pop, the worst kind of pop, pink, rihanna, veronicas... its hard to slap a bitch while going round corners at 80k's an hour

LOL Nah I'm blessed there. My girl has awesome taste in music, plays it louder than I can handle and drives like a demon....

My problem is if I can't run to the car faster than her I miss out on driving lol...didn't mind so much before but new car is going to cause fights I think.
