Okey dokey, now that i know that i am going to have a job this summer and will be banking some money, i really really really want to get a nice HU for my New Camry... And i couldnt think of anything better to fit in a nice double din opening than one of the new DVD-CD-Nav packages out there these days...

What i really want is the Pioneer AVIC Z1... But lets be a little more realistic... At $2k its a bit pricey for all those options, so i was looking into the New Clarion model that they have had...

I went to a dealer a while ago and tried it out on display and absolutely love the features and the touchscrean as well... Plus it has dual zone multimedia control which i really like.

I have a couple problems with it though:

1: I have never owned Clarion products before so therefor have no clue as to the quality or integrity of their products.
2: Their add-ons are extremely expensive... I would have to in excess of $400 for an add-on Navigation feature... as well as over $40 for the Ipod Connection.
3: There is only one AV input for this reciever so multiple aux devices are out of the question unless run off a splitter.

Anyone have any ideas on other Types of Indash recievers such as this one? Thanks

Another option would be Eclipse, but still on the pricey side.

Ive owned 2 calrions.

My last one was my last one

hmmm I dont get it... u mean that u still are using ur Clarion? or does that mean its a piece lol

pioneer has their new D3 nav/dvd double din out. $1000.

here

yea i saw thats a bit pricey as well, I like it but so far its at least 2-300 more than the Clarion

Meaning I wont buy another clarion until it appears they turn around.

i have a clarion in my car and i hate it.....
