is it difficult to use and drive? I like how the stock navigation has the road in the background, I really like this eclipse setup but not sure about having to glance down.

 

I have stock navi, but I would be interested in adding this anyways. I am sure the sound unit is better than the crappy bose reciever in the dash. I would also like the added goodies of a tv and dvd player, while having a seperate screen for my navi.

How much did the setup cost you w.out setting up navi? I am sure it costs more to add navi reciever?

Edit: Since I wouldn't be needing the Navi, I would probably be more interested in the AVN2494. How much could I get that for?

lorinserbenz,

Did you loose your steering wheel audio controls when you installed AVN2454? Also, are you the one who is selling this unit on Ebay? If not, someone is using your car's picture to show the stereo.

 

You can regain full steering wheel control with a Pac interface. I have one and you can have it if you buy the radio.
Yes thats me "Assetliquidations" on Ebay.

if you use steering wheel controls, then can you still use the optional remote control? i heard its one or the other...

the Pac interface learns from the Eclipse remote (which I never bought). You can use the interface and the Eclipse remote. I used the Pac piece with my Kenwood KVT-911 and used the remote that came with it as well with no problem whatsoever.
The Pac SWIX has a small IR transmittor that you mount in the vehicle pointed at the radio, when you use the wheel controls it transmites to the radio.

 

im getting my dash conversion kit soon, then im getting the AVN installed ASAP... where do you get those Pac interfaces? if the remote control still works with the steering wheel controls then im very interested in it.

thanks!

...and where would the interface be installed? will it be visible?
