I've been doing some research on Double Din DVD/Nav units. I happen to be a fan of Pioneer equipment (for no specific reason really) so I have looked at the AVIC-Z1 and the AVH-P6800DVD. Also I have heard some good reviews on the Alpine IVA-W200. I'm wondering if I could get some feedback on and KEY difference between these units - specifically in terms of the features and interface type items. I'm not trying to build a serious system and I will probably end up leaving the stock speakers in place (possibly upgrading them later - but again, nothing serious - no plans for a subwoofer). So sound quality isn't a top consideration of mine. I'm more looking for some feature, picture quality of DVD, etc. to help me choose one unit over the other. Any feedback is much appreciated.

I am very happy with my Z1. I love the bluetooth phone interface, I also have the tv tuner and the XM. They make a Ipod adapter and a host of other devices. The Navigation is sweet to have too. I use it when I am looking for the closet stores all the time. It sure does cut down on time.

 

I didn't want to make my original post too lengthy but I had another question regarding the two Pioneer units. Obviously, navagation is the biggest difference between the two. Are there are functionalities that the AVIC-Z1 has that the AVH-P6800DVD doesn't have. Also, I have read on here that people have had troubles with aftermarket in-dash 6 disc units. Can anyone verify this? Have people had troubles with the AVH-P6800DVD unit?

Thanks again,
Ryan
