Default Anyone have the Alpine W200 Mulltimedia Head Unit?

Hello there,

Just wondering if anyone has the new Alpine W200 DVD player? If so any thoughts? Good, bad??? I am thinking of putting this into my 04 Roadster. Is the screen bright enough to be viewed in the car with the top down? I also have the factory nav unit and I think that I will leave that in place. Will the nav still work? Thanks for any input.

Any pics that you have of your double din touchscreen setups would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

David

yes it is very nice.. though the face sticks out pretty far.. the screen is nice but not very bright.. might have problems with glares... no complaints though its really a cool unit..

dumminguy81: Thanks for the input. Do you have the ipod hookup or the bluetooth adapter? If so how does that work for you? Thanks again.

commyb: Cool, I look forward to seeing the pics. Do you have a roadster? Thanks alot.

i have the ipod adapter.. it was amazing for the 2 days it worked but for some reason it stopped working a couple days ago and isnt detecting the ipod.. if i can get it working again its awesome.. oh and i managed to get it to mount more flush you just have to drill new holes in the nissan brackets able 1/4'' back from where the holes are.. fits perfectally.. ill try to get some pics soon as well..
