i'm looking to get a in dash dvd player for my car, what are the best units out there in ur guys experince, thanks

 

If you just want opinions, I think Eclipse has the best picture and quality.

 

eclipse definately makes the best products on the market but you will definately pay for it.. alpine also makes some quality products..

 

if money is not a factor eclipse is the shit. if money is a factor (ie. ME) i went with the cheap pioneer crap. picture quality is decent but on a 7inch screen its not that noticible.

 

get alpine or pioneer. i have a pioneer and i love it. look at the pioneer avic n1....its badass

 

right now i have an old alpine in the civic. i have no, nor know anyone who have used eclipse products. as for the pioneer n1, from what i've heard, its a big disappointment. i was considering getting it though

 

I actually have the Kenwood KVT -911. It has performed Flawlessly, It has the touch screen, DVD player capable (which plays both CDs, CDrs, DVDs, DVD+R,DVD-R). The one advantage of this player is it is NOT fully motorized, so I can access my temp gauges with ease. I have a custom made Kit for the installation (before they came out with the OEM kit) which allows me to have the unit flush mounted with the Dash, which gives me the ability to have a "faceplate/cover" to hide the unit completely out of site. I am actually thinking about selling the unit, PM me with questions!

 

I have an Eclipse AV-8022 and AV-8132 now and I had an Eclipse 7002. They are just incredible. Picture quality is awesome at almost any angle. You can not go wrong. I did have an Alpine IVA-C800. Awesome unit but, the picture quality was not as good as Eclipse. Plus, both my new Eclipse models have built in DVD and the Alpine had to have an external DVD.

 

how come you guys don't like the pioneer monitors? I have a 7in. monitor and I think the picture quality is pretty good

 

I have never tried a Pioneer myself. I had Alpine and Eclipse. My first screen was an Eclipse 7002 and since then, I just stick with Eclipse. Just great quality and I never have problems.

 

pioneer picture quality is pretty good.. but there customer service is horrible if anything ever goes wrong...

 

the Kenwood and Eclipse are my favorites
