kid is selling this http://photos.worldisround.com/photos/0/368/547.jpg

for minimum of $700 he said. is that a good price? are they worth it? how hard is it to hook up? im actually not even sure where i can fit it in the dash my aftermarket head unit is only din size 1 i think its called, not as big as the factory one that i thnik is 1.5 can it fit in the same slot with it?

what other kinda stuff can i hook up to it besides movies? i wanted to try and get navigational software or maybe one of those diagnositic programs (as opposed to having to have a laptop)

 

Yes, it will fit, I have the same one in my car, I think. Whats the model number on that one, and does it have a seperate brain? Let me know, and I can answer any questions you have about installing it.

 

So what are you trying to fit in? Both you current head unit AND this one? If so, both of them will not fit. Stock dash opening is 1.5 din Each one of those is 1 din. You are .5 din short. If you plan on just using this new DVD head unit you'll be fine.

 

he says its an AVX7300 http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pn...etailComponent thats the link he posted.

so if i replace my head unit with that can the DVD player still play music cds through the speakers? im stupid i should have realized they were both 1 din units the space isnt big enough. i didnt really want to loose the head unit i have no though it works good has a lot of functions

 

The link you posted is to the one without a DVD player. But the AVX-7300DVD does play DVDs, and CDs, so you won't need the deck you have. And this one has a lot of features too.

I have the same one, but mine has the P8000 brain too, which is last years model, now its the P9000 I believe. This thing can do tons of stuff though, way more than my last pioneer deck I thought had a lot of features (DEH-P8500MP).

 

what kinda stuff can it do? im still curious if i could hook something up to this to use stuff like i would on a computer, cuz i was going to get a laptop for the car to run car software (like LT1 edit or something havent decided on that yet). could i like hook a PS2 up to it, or computer and use it as the screen? i know very little about these things except that they are neato

 

DOES IT HAVE THE SEPERATE BRAIN????

If it has a seperate 'box', then you can do tons of things. If not, you can still do quite a bit, but I am not sure. Just download the owners manual on pioneer's websit, and it will tell you a lot about it. I am not sure about using it as a monitor for a computer though.

 

yes it has a seperate brain

 

Well, then I have the same one as you. I got mine used for $500, but it is a year old, so you are gonna get a pretty good deal too.

I can almost gaurentee this deck will have more feautes and preouts than your old one. Only thing I would reccomend is getting a CD changer, that way you can have the background display when playing CDs. Otherwise its just a blue screen.
