You should see me barrelling down the freeway steering with my knee, shifting with my right and holding the microphone with my left.

j/k

I've been a very safe driver after I totalled my sb 350z last year.

Right now that is bar far the best head unit out there, I am an Alpine fan, but after finding out about Eclipse's new units --that all changed my mind. If you could, can you take pictures of the graphics that are use for the touch control and display?

Awesome !

That's a great HU. Is this compatible with the stock CD changer?

Arvin, did you get a chance to check out the NAV yet? We're waiting for your evaluation.

I actually got the Eclipse unit myself. Been too lazy to post pictures. This thing is great yet has some quirks to it.

1: The standard trim that came with it looks awful.
2: MP3 playback is great, but the interface is so slow. If you have too many directories on a CD it takes forever to list them. Plus you can't just stop playing an Mp3 and search through the directories. A song has to be playing while doing this.
3: Nav is fine. Still figuring out the best way to search for things. But I have found it works pretty well. Lots of points of interest, good touch screen. Good interface.

I had the Pioneer 7500 dvd before my eclipse unit, and I find the eclipse unit's interface extremeeeeleeey faster. This unit does not have a lot of flaws. Nav is not as great as the pioneer (lack of voice controls) but very simple to use and definitely worth it. Point of interest is a lot but does not have a good search option. There is no search option by phone number, which is a great feature for the pioneer. I can not say anything about Alpine cause I have not used it. Screen displays very good even under direct sunlight. And unlike the pioneer the eclipse looks "stock".

I will post more reviews regarding the Nav later. I am still learning to use it. If you have specific questions regarding nav, just ask and I will try to answer.

I would like to see more pictures of the unit while it's in different mode (mp3, dvd, nav, inserting cd/dvd). How's the pre-amp coming out of this unit?

Question Does AVN2454 have a EQ?

On the web site eclipse shows that the AVN2454 has an EQ but my local installer says no. What is the story? Any EQ on this unit?

Yes there is an EQ in the unit, it works pretty well with some pretty nice preset too. I got one in my car and love it, looks stock and at night very hard to tell its in there.

what can you have on the display during music playback?

How far out does it stick out or is it flush.

Can you post more pics, real close shots.

thanks

During CD playback - all info regarding song
During MP3 playback - either the entire mp3 list or the info of the current song

It stick out about .25"
