Hi all,

Well I have been looking around for a double din DVD player. I have found one that I really like (Kenwood) but for around $2K I wanted to find something a bit cheaper.

Anyway, I came aross this on Ebay...have any of you seen these in real life?? and are they any good...

Looks reasonable to me, not a no-name brand. Read thru some of their feedback, only bad comments are about items being listed for sale, but out of stock. And ya don't really want a Kenwood, ya want an Eclipse!!

Agreed, the Eclipse units kick a$$. Only issue is they are going to be $1000-$1500 more than the kenwood....

JVC makes OK units but I agree that Eclipse makes very good gear.

Do eclipse still not make a detach face? I was going to buy one of their decks a few years ago, but non of them had detacable faces. Apparantly you need a special cd 'key' to unlock them after power has been disconected, like any common theif would know that, they'd just rack it anyway!

this head deck is the same one that Brash Imports sell for $900.
This one would be $742 if you were to import it?

I've always found removable to be unreliable after a while.

Goto JB hi-fi and they have that JVC unit there, and you can see what its like.

How about the Eurovox double din unit that comes in Mitsubishi cars, they are alright and have a tv tuner inbuilt.And they are only about $1200.

Believe ME.. I KNOW!!

I'm the Assistant Manager at Strathfield in Wollongong.. I went to the Pioneer product launch about 3-4 months ago.. I REALLY WANT ONE!!! It also got a raelly good review in CAA magazine a couple of months back..

There is new model just arrived in Strathfield stores made by Shinco.. (From what I know they generally use Toshiba parts).. CDS2610 No info per se yet (I'm still on holidays) but I had a play with one the other day and the quality is amazingly good!! Can be had for around $1200-ish and can run Shinco's GPS Navigation as an optional extra!!

Try this link to a translated Chinese page:

If I can get any further info I'll post it up..!
