Alpine

Chatting to local Alpine bloke couple weeks ago, think he said around $799 for that unit then you need the vehicle specific adapter for maybe $250 for BA still some weeks away maybe month or 2. Said he's seen prototype on BA screen looks sensational just pug your crap in and away you go, dvd player, game consoles other crap on your front screen. The vehicles information gets somehow superimposed over what you're watching when you change a setting. You/they need to connect the handbrake wire for motion disabling of the unit (law). Initial price is stiff considering you still need to buy dvd players and other source devices/voltage inverters and theres still no screen for back seat passengers, they will most likely do deals if you package a bunch of gear, but the good thing is knowing Alpine it should be good quality and thoroughly tested. that's what he told me anyway.

Yep, that was the price I was told too(approximately) Something else mentioned was bluetooth handsfree incorporated into ICC giving caller I.d. information on screen(obviously, this is an option)

No mate, no Sat Nav. It looks like an adaptor module of sorts that means you can connect a variety of third party products into the ICC.

That model number quoted didnt show any results on the Alpine web site.

That is very cool since majority of cars coming out now no longer use a DIN sized headunit and just mould it into part of the dash. I will be showing that to alot of my friend who havent changed their stock unit because of the cost involved for custom dash panel work.

They are selling that box on ebay for US$229

The the only trick is to make the cable between that box and the ICC and that's easy
