double din naviagtion

[youngtacoma06]

Hey guys. I want to find a navigation/dvd/ipod double ding player for my tacoma. I want to have the navigation loaded so you dont always need to switch out the navigation disk. I also want a very easy to use ipod scrool screen. Can you help me out?

I have the Alpine W200 double din with the blackbird and absolutely love it. The new version on cruthfields website of my radio has the blackbird plugging actually into the head unit.

Ok that is cool. What is blackbird? and how is the ipod hook screen and scrolling through the ipod on the deck?

Go with the Pioneer AVIC-D3. Best radio/Nav for the money.

The problem with the D3 is when you want navigation you have to put the disc in, when you want to play dvds and stuff you have to take out the navigation disk and put in the dvd. I dont want to keep taking out the dvd and stuff for the navigation.

It's really not that big of a deal man. When you plan a route on the D3 with the nav disc, it gets stored to the unit's memory and you can take the disc out and put a CD or DVD in the slot. When would you want to watch a DVD while trying to navigate with the map anyway? You can't view both on the screen at the same time so what's the point?

Also, FYI, it's pretty easy to bypass the parking brake on the D3. The last I heard, there was no bypass for the Z2 - at least not yet.
