i just ordered the new AVN6610 navigation with 7"-wide TFT display and DUAL-DVD Multi-source Receiver





also added

Adapter for IPOD (since i own 05 scion no aux output)
Hands-free Parrot Bluetooth

also ordered

INFINITY BASSLINK II 250-Watt


everything installed with authorized dealer $2000+tax

what you guys think?

 

id say save the $$$ and do it yourself, but thats just me. also, theres no built in bluetooth on the unit?

 

there is no built in bluetooth. its an add on. just like ipod connection.

and not too good with installing on my own.

 

i previously owned the avn6600 and loved it. I recently ordered the 6610 with the bluetooth and sirius nav traffic. Its a since to connect. But if you dont feel comfortable eclipse is offering a 200 dollar rebate if you have it professionally installed check their website.
www.eclipse-web.com

 

Why do you keep doing ?

 

haha. because im little nervous. i really dont have too much knowledge about car audio. i dunno if i made a right choice. THUS.. n more lol

so what do u think about the nav system and the subwoofer?

 

thanks for the rebate update. the authorized dealer did give me the rebate form. i have heard lot of people talking about pioneer nav system and how they are better than eclipse. i saw AVIC- D3 and liked it alot. but had only 1 dvd slot. and then i saw Z2 but that one had hard drive which i really dont need. i got my ipod and mostly i play my music thru ipod. im from NY and i like what eclipse had to offer. CITY MAP. they have detailed NYc maps which i liked. im looking forward to see some pictures once ur done installing ur 6610.

 

absolutly man i will be glad to post up some picks as soon as i get it

 

I have the 2454 and I love it. It doesn't have the updated maps, but this thing has still guided me so much.

 

Eclipse is a plug n play (correct if I am wrong) since their pins match up to our stock ones so you wouldn't need any wiring. The sub would be easy, all you have to do is plug in the back of the HU then run the wires by just pulling the carpet and panel a little loose. Save the money and do it yourself. Everyone has to start somewhere, no one is a pro their first time.

 

eclipse is awesome gear, but DEFINATELY install in yourself...its a snap, and some you a couple hundred bucks prolly! :D

 

thanks...i think i will install myself. what about the subwoofer? is it hard to install too?

 

does this unit match to our stock harness for the steering wheel controls?

 

yes im sure it does. I currently have installed the eclipse avn6600
and my steering wheel controls work perfectly it was all plug and play im assuming the 6610 will be exactly the same

 

parrot bluetooth controller

 

^ nice! hows having the mic up there working for you?

 

its awesome. i called couple of my friends and received many calls today while i was driving back home. no problem at all. they can hear my voice very clearly and same with me. i luv PARROT bluetooth.

funny story. when i went to pick up my car, the install guys were playing with bluetooth. they were having hard time figuring out the voice dial. i go there n turn my SONY ERICSSON K800 bluetooth on and instantly i was paired. All i have to say once im in my car is PHONE and there is short beep, then i say the name of my contact and it picks up instantly. Even i tired sitting on the passenger side. There was no problem at all.

 

cool! i might have to try that location out when my bt comes in! :D thanks!

 

Used to have an original basslink. For what it is, it is definitly not bad. Its comparable to the stock Bazooka, only sounds alot better. Not to bad.

 

does your steering wheel control work with Eclipse AVN6610?
