I am in the market to get DVD back into my car. I have narrowed the search down to four units.
1. Pioneer AVX-7500DVD
2. Pioneer AVIC-N1
3. Alpine IVA-D901
4. Alpine IVA-D300
Of the four I have my own reservations. I would like to know what others' think of these units. Please offer your personal opinions on which is "better".
Thanks.

IMO there isn't a screen on the market that touches the Alpine IVA-D900. The 1.5 million pixel count is heads and tails above anyone elses screens. It has a truley amazing picture. It also is an all in one unit so a additional purchase of a seperate dvd player isn't needed.
If your looking at seperate components, the IVA-D300 is a wicked piece by itself. The Pulse Touch screen is truley awesome. It will feel like you are actually puching a button. Different functions will have a different feel to them as well, so that you can just "feel" your way through so you don't have to take your eyes off the road. The menu layouts are also the same so you are able to memorize where everything is alot easier. Only downfall is you have to buy a seperate DVD player, but if you add the DHA-S680 dvd changer, you can have the best of both worlds. A changer for music and dvds all in one.
