screen for my benzo

Hello,

Planning to get a screen for my car and I was wondering which ones you guys think are the best for the C32, or if any of you already have one, your thoughts on your deck?

So far I'm thinking about getting the following:

Alpine IVA-D900

Pioneer AVH-P7500DVD

Open to other products though

Thanks!

Jeff

Comand is a cool way to go if you ordered the car from the factory w/nav , but i believe aftermarket screens are way more pimp. they are far larger, and the aftermarket navigation systems are far better than the Comand.

especially if you buy a motorized screen. personally, i like te http://www.maaudio.com/productcatalog.cfm?class=275

i think command system is crappy =\ the screen is small and low contrast... CD based... cant play MP3's... cant play DVD's or VCD while car is in motion...

the only good part, and this is a really really really big part, is that command blends in perfectly wit the rest of the dash....

aftermarket screens... jus dont look rite... they need kits 2 get fitted and it adds 2 much color... then when the screen comes out, IT BLOCKS BUTTONS!!

also the buttons on ur steering wheel cant b used 2 change tracks and volume nemore!!!

jus leave it as it is.. haha

what exactly is COMAND? Mega-what? lol prices?

supposedly, Alpine IVA-D900 is the best LCD system on the market. I've used it before, it's awesome. I like it better than pioneer's interface. Alpine is known for their sound quality, that is if you're going to hook up your speakers to the not so impressive 50w by 4 channel internal amp, but if your gonna go w. an amp and all that, I'd say stick with Alpine and Eclipse. Although, Alpine has problems with CD skipping. Pioneer has pretty cool graphics though.

Oh also, I was checking on Brabus products and they have a certain mod for the COMAND system. Was it just so you could use internet or something?

Thanks,

Thumbs up COMAND!

COMAND is the way to go!

I have the Euro MB TV-tuner, Voice comand, Sirius hooked up through the Aux input, DVD/MP3/VCD player hooked up to one of the 2 audio/video inputs on the TV tuner. There are contrast, brightness, color adjustments on the COMAND. I got it all and I can scroll through the TV stations via steering wheel, dial my phone without lifting a finger and change stations on my sirius with a remote.

It's definitely the most integrated system if you want to keep the use of your steering wheel buttons. Make sure to get Drive in motion activated when you get it.

You all know who to call for these mods...
