DVD-Navi Unit for 2nd Gen TL...noob questions!!!!!

hey guys, i already did a search but i cant seem to find what im looking for

basically i have a 2000 TL, i already have a aftermarket HU in it, but i want more. Id like to get one of those flip screen head units that have navigation, can play Dvds, and can play CDs. tahts basically all i need, dont need XM radio or any other fancy things.

What would you guys recommend for around 1000-1300? im already looking at the pioneer N1, and this look like my best choice so far. the only things i dont like about it are how it doesnt have a cd changer and you cant watch movies while driving, which i can fix, but if theres any HUs out tehre that can already solve these problems please drop some names.


what are other options out there. i dont care too much about picture quality, because i basically will mostly be using it for navi, im not gonna be watching too many dvds on it so it doesnt need to be crystal clear.


footnotes:
-must have dvd, navigation, cd
-cd changer, able to watch while driving is a plus
-top of the line picture quality is not necessary, something 7-8/10 is fine
-price 1000-1300, cheaper if possible!

thanks!

There's a ton of flipout tvs out there.. And it all depends on what you want to spend.. Obviously the Pioneers are top notch but for the TL the only dash kit available is one with a pocket at the bottom. This causes the flip out to come out and cover your controls.. Gets old quick..

Your best bet is to contact StreetEffectz and get a double din tv with custom dash kit.

**Edit - Took awhile but here's some pics, Don't mind the fingerprints

Website not functional?

I just went to the StreetEfectz website and it is not fully running.. I would like that custom dash for my 03 TL-S with Navi... Do you guys know where else I can order the custom dash kit and how much is it? Thanks!

He had a GroupBuy on the units and the custom dash kits and everything else needed to set it up.. I can't remember but I'd say it was around $1200-$1300 for the whole kit..
