New 35
Just got a coup yesterday. Have a couple of simple questions. I didn't get the Nav system. I really want a DVD player and the dealer said that the system would not actually play DVD's. Only read the nav DVD data. Has anyone seen a system that puts an LCD in like the factory LCD and plays DVD's??

get a custom NAV, they have dvd player features in it. and you can get LCD to pop out just like stock. have them install it for you. I would do it If I had cash.
but I love the birdeye view navigation in G35. I don't think aftermarket has one yet. if they do, definatly go for the aftermarket, for the same price you can get a dvd plyer.

Try a Best Buy if there is nothing else. In Tenesee, looks like there is one in Hickory Hollow, Rivergate, and Brentwood. They all have mobile electronics installation.

Thanks for the input. Talked to best buy and they were a bit clueless. I called Car tronics and they said they could do anything I could afford. Exactly what I was looking for. He said ballpark for the lcd setup with alpine dvd/nav system was 4k. Is that reasonable or outrageous. I'm not in the circle when it comes to custom car audio.

If there is nothing else, it sounds kind of outrageous. The system itself only costs about 1500 or 2k. Unless you are getting an upgraded audio, I'd try to shop around. Or try to work that price down, because it does seem a bit high.

Thinking back, I did kind of imply that price wasn't too important. He also said that I could have any dvd installed, my wife is keen on the idea of a PS2. She is my passenger on long trips. We'll see. There are a couple of places around here after looking.

Yes Morpheus, you should shop around. 4K is way too expensive. It should be at most 2.5K with the installation. Also, I would check the installer's reputation. Some of these places have morons and they will rip you car apart.
Cheers.

I was quoted 3.5K on a kenwood system... they say it's curretnly the best one in the aftermarket..... it'll have navi and a touchscreen interface... but that's about it.... and it won't be intergrated with the speakers.... and DVD movie will cost another 4~500...... good thing is it has birdeye view like the stock unit.....

the dealer just didn't know any better. the Nav system can be modified to play DVDs.
since you didn't get it, you might try:
ps2 - $180 & alpine popup LCD $700-$800
or an alpine popup LCD DVD/CD/CDR/MP3 player - $1700-$2000
double din dash conversion from Japan - $300-$400
must shops don't know what to do with our G's because the A/C controlls are integrated with the stereo and no one is making a kit for it.

check out www.eclipse-web.com
they have a new headunit AVN2454 that has NAV, DVD +MP3. best part about it, it goes right into a double din and doesn't pop up and out like the others to block your AC controls.
