I'm thinking about putting a pioneer avic-n1 in my rover.. its basically a indash lcd with built in dvd player that does gps... it also has a vehicle dynamics screen where you can see your slope, Angular Velocity, Acceleration, etc..

Luckily, I have a friend who works for pioneer who can probably score me one for almost half price.. but my questions are, first.. is anyone running this system? And 2nd, does having a in-dash lcd have any adverse affects when offroading?

got it!

Hey Ryan.....just put this system in my 2004 Disco for all the reasons you're thinking(dvd/cd/gps-all in one) and I love it......I coupled it up with Pioneers 12-disc changer....shoulda gone with their 6 disc DVD, still using stock speakers....... and the verdict........??? I actually dig the system sound and voice/touchscreen/remote features of the N1, however,,,,,I don't care how many POI they say is in this thing......It never seems to have the things I am looking for?????Like some residences...etc. It also uses GPS to do its tracking but does not allow you to input coordinates and such....(I still ended up buying a separate Garmin unit) But overall it's great, especially if you enjoy live DVD style concerts on the road....i.e. DMB, U2, Sting, Blues Traveler, Metallica......should I continue??? Bottom line....if the price is right....(I picked mine up on Ebay for about $1300)....you know the rest!

Doug -

Awesome! Can you grab me a couple pictures of it?

that sucks you can't put coordinates in, but I guess you'd have to work around..

How is the map? Is it a topographical map at all? I want something that I can use while offroading to see whats around.

Also, did you install it yourself, or get someone to.. if so, how much did it cost?

I can pick it up for about 1100 after taxes & shipping, new from pioneer directly.. so the price is definitely right.

I'm looking at this unit right now. Ryan did you get the update from PE ?

Did it add any features ? Do you know who's maps it uses (NAVTECH) ??

Thanks

I was looking at this last night on EBay. Looks pretty sweet. I think it said it had something like 12 million POIs!
