which screen

i have to pick which screen i want to put in my car.

the first is a poineer avh p 6500dvd.
it has: 6.5" motorized widescreen touch panel display, dual zone ready, mp3, optical out, 26 pin rgb input, triple 4 volt preouts, and an on screen display

the second is an apline iva-d900
it has: 7" widescreen motorized dash, xm ready, 50x4 triple preout with 4 volt sub, navigation and rear camera inputs, 3 aux a/v inputs, trizone a/v control, mobile hub link.

i want good sound/video quality which is why i prefer the alpine. BUT i love the idea of the touch screen from pioneer which seems to be very close and a lot cheaper. they are both good products but i don't know what to do.


what do you guys think

I would go with the alpin because i touch screens the oil from your fingers over time can destroy the screen. One of my friends bought a used clarion unit and after about 6 month the screen was distorting were you touch the screen. They may say they have a coating on them but it will come off after time. The alpine reciever will also have a lot better picture. If you want to go allout you should take a look at Eclipse, it might be a little out of your price range but save up and get an in dash unit from them and you will be amaxed at the features and the picture is by far the best on the market. Hope this helps.

I would definitly go for the IVAD, Oh wait I am planning on getting one silly me.

the IVA is a great unit, but if you are at all interested in creating a 5.1 surround system, then you must get the pxa-h700 digital audio processor. (big money) so take that into consideration...the IVA doesn't decode surround...and i am pretty sure the pioneer does. just my 2 cents
