Try frys.com for a stereo. You can get touch screen dvd players for about the same price as the one you linked from crutchfield !

I have wanted to get this one [link] http://www.crutchfield.com/App/Produ...DAVX44&tp=5684 [link] but want to try a double din conversion. I just wish they were a little more affordable (conversions).

I'm not a fan of the fold out face plates. I just like seeing the whole screen all the time. I wanted to do the RNS-E so it looks factory but the kit is soooo expensive. Plus I want to have my iphone integrated so I can listen to music and answer calls. My buddy just got an Alpine that has the gps handheld inside it. That thing is cool. He can integrate his phone and it has a lot of other options also.

Default Alpine 9884 with Ipod connection

I installed this head unit in my truck, before I purchased my 2001 TT. I was planning on taking it out and installing it in my TT. My question. Since I have the concert w/6 CD changer, how will this affect my sound, since this is a BOSE system. What sound am I losing by putting in the Alpine and do I need to look into changing out the speakers to create the correct sound that the BOSE has now?

The Bose concert is a really good unit.It all depends on what you want...do you want to look at the stock unit or upgrade to an aftermarket, depends on your taste.I haven't swapped mine out yet, I'll do that after I do my engine build.As far as the speakers you can swap em out if you want "mostly if you want it to be louder", the tweets and mids sound good. Just don't go with cheap speakers.

I was going to just change out the head unit. There are Bose speakers in place already and didn't want to change them out unless I had to.
