What should I get?
I am looking at AVIC N1 - 500 shipped
AVIC N2 675 shipped
Eclipse AVN 5935 - 900 shipped w/ rear camera
All of these are used. What does everyone think I should do. Is there that big of a difference from the N1 to N2. And would the Eclipse be worth it I know that is a great price.
Money would be fine with either the AVIC's but the Eclipse would be stretching it a bit.
Everyones thoughts would be extremely appreciated.

You'll want to know how old the data disks are on the Pioneers. The N2 could be 2-3 years old - the N1 even older. If you live or drive in an are where the roads change you'll find yourself driving off the map from time-to-time. Here in SoCal the roads are being plowed in as fast as they can - new businesses, new phone numbers, and new residences. New disks are $150 give or take.
I think the Eclipse could be a good deal if both the touch screen and camera are in great conditions. I have a AVN5500 with NO camera, paid $1800+ for it.
Other thing to consider is Eclipse has 5 volt preout, while the others I think is 2 volts, makes for better sound system upgrade with amplifer. I think the navi is also awesome on the Eclipse.
Pionneer is XM ready so if you ever want something like Navtraffic that's something Eclipse do not have, something to consider.
One more thing to consider for theft prevention is the Eclipse Security Network, you use a CD as your key to unlock the whole unit incase of batter disconnects, if it ever gets stolen Eclipse will get you a new one in the first year.
