Not sure where to put this (sorry mods)...but I just ordered an Alpine IVA-W203 DVD Receiver for $450 from crutchfield.com!!

This is last years model but retails at $800, along with the H/U I got the wiring harness and dash kit for free. This is one of the best H/Us out there (mostly my opinion) if you are looking to upgrade check it out!

 

crutchfield doesnt equal savings usually means 35% mark up on top of the going prices all that cushy customer service cost a lot

 

I got my Kenwood DXN7100 from Wicked CAS (sponsor here) for less than Crotchfield or Amazon were selling them.

 

Not wanting to burst your bubble but the W203 came out in June 2007. It's hardly new. I'll be the first to say that Alpine is top quality when it comes to sound output. I have owned the IVA-D310, IVA-W203, and will buy the Alpine W900 if I don't purchase the new Eclipse unit. But at that price it's not much of a deal, specially without built in navigation.

 

If you really look at it Crutchfield isn't always marked up. Most of the time on all the things I've bought from there they have been the same price at all other "Authorized retailers". Many people just buy stuff from un-authorized dealers and that's why it's cheaper. I like a certified warranty, don't know about you.
