Alright, I'm bringing this thread to you folks hoping you can help me in a few areas.

First of all, I have a Pioneer MP# headunit that I bought off a friend in '03. I paid $250 for it, and he paid $449 for it a year earlier. The warranty from Best Buy is going to expire in July, so I found it in my best interests to ... take it back to Best Buy, and get in-store credit.

Now, its time to upgrade. I'm looking at a few In-Dash DVD units, but the problem is I don't know which one. I'm stuck between Pioneer, Kenwood, and Alpine, but I want a 7" screen that plays DVDs (obviously), and maybe one that has a navigation feature.

Now, another friend is against In-Dash units and says to go with just a standalone LCD screen, run a computer to it, that way I can watch DVDs, use navigation, and if I get a wireless router, sit outside Starbuck's and leech off of their WI-FI.

I'm hoping that you ASV pals can help me out in a tight jam. I don't want to say that money is not object, so I'm looking to spend anywhere from $1500-$2000. I know the computer system won't go for that cheap, but that'd be -the computer, since I'm buying a laptop soon anyways. Thanks for all your help, Rob.

 

why dont you want the pioneer hu?

 

used to work at best buy back in the day.
you're friend can call up 1-888-bestbuy and get them to transfer all the service plan information to your name and such.

 

we sent all head units off to a contracted repair center that handles many warranty claims for multiple audio companies.

if it comes back with no fault found, be prepared to pay the $25 dollar service charge. a manager wont waive the cost either, so don't try yelling your way out of it.

your best option in my opinion is to sell it on ebay and get a headunit off the internet
