Does anybody have the alpine IVA-W200 in there car?I just need some input on it before, I purchase one and put it in my car. Im in the process of converting my system to a double din that has mp3, cd, dvd, navigation and bluetooth technology that's not over 2k. Thank you in advance.

 

I'd wait a few weeks. Prices should come down slightly. There are a couple of units on ebay right now. They're all at or above MSRP. I've been waiting a couple of months for this unit so a few more weeks won't bother me. And, FYI, the unit is Bluetooth-ready and requires and additional unit.

 

Thanks keep me posted when you find a great buy on these.

 

too bad you're not in socal plaing35

decent price....$200 under retail

i would jump on it but the not having navi is what kills it. if it had navi i would be all over it!

 

Al & Eds has it on their site at $999 which is $100 below MSRP.

 

That's the only reason why Im not buying it right now. If it had that option I would definitely jump on that.

 

Alpine's new navi unit can hook right into it. The Blackburn or whatever its called

 

K67P67:I see that your going to buy this unit, i have some questions for you;1. Will we still be able to intergrate are bluetooth system on this unit, 2. Will we still b able to use the steering wheel controls?

 

The Alpine Bluetooth unit (KCA-100BT) has a separate button. I would speculate that you could splice in the wire from our steering wheel Bluetooth control to answer/end calls. The function probably wouldn't be identical to the OEM button function but should suffice. I'm not sure about the voice dial button. Here's an image of the button:

2004 and newer Ai-NET head units are enabled for hands-free Bluetooth connectivity with the KCA-100BT. Compatible with many Bluetooth mobile phones, the KCA-100BT gives you the power to listen and talk wirelessly with ease through the Alpine in-dash head unit – even if the phone is stowed away. The KCA-100BT automatically initiates network connection upon entering the car. It comes with an external call control button that can be mounted on the dash, for simple call-receiving and call-ending. A microphone and visor clip is also included.

 

I ordered from Crutchfield they have them instock. Mine will be here next week. I got all the goodies coming to...........Sat radio, rearview camera, Blackbird,PAC adapter for steeringwheel control

 

Crutchfield? I'll bet you paid full retail for all of that gear. What'd it run you in total? $1,700?

 

the nav unit that hoks up to the headunit is 1600 alone on crutchfeild. so all together it isnt under 2k .

 

Wrong

First, they're way too expensive.

Second, their new self-contained portable Navi unit which reatails for 550-650 hooks into it.

isnt the blackbird a portable navi?

 

I've actually now started looking at the Panasonic CD-VD6503U unit. It's about $300-$400 cheaper than the Alpine unit and feature are pretty similar. I've always preferred Panasonic video to Alpine.
