KICK ass unit - we have installed several of them - the pulse touch screen itself is the shit! Plus, it's the only unit on the market that recognizes DVD menus and where the functions of those menus are to make it a TRUE touch screen.

If I did not have a leased car, I would definitely consider getting this screen because I love Alpine

Plus, I can get the screen brand new for around $800..

A. Sure.. Come on down to Best Buy in North Dartmouth MA and we can negotiate something.

B. Use Alpine's KCA-420I.. Very easy to use and connect

^^ $800 is below cost... i don't even know how you're getting that price, but that can't be legal.

I definitely agree man.. I will double check the price tomorrow because $800 does seem kind of low. A guy told me that it was $800 and I took his word (based on the Kenwood and Pioneer screens that average $1599 retail that we get for $850.)

Anyhow, if you send me the money, I will definitely think about doing that.. quite possibly.. will have to think about that..

Naa, you could put it underneath the carpet near the ECU, or even under the seat.

Doubt it. That's below cost. No "Employee" can purchase anything below cost. At best, he gets it AT cost. I know what the cost is on these units, that's why I am stating that there's no way he can get the unit for $800; thas more than $100 below cost.

best buy has an accomadation program that lets the employees buy it directly from the manufacturers that participate.

the in-store employee price is totally different and is definately above cost to bb.
