alpine iva-w200

hey guys. i was just wondering if any of you have any experience with this unit. Mine came into today over at best buy (gotta love employee discounts! ) and I was just wondering if any of you had tried it yet. i'll have it in by the weekend so if no one's tried it, i'll let you guys know how it went.

i have the same deck, and i love it, the only thing i didnt like about it is the way it mounted so i redrilled the mounting holes and flushed the deck with the trim piece.

I just got this head unit installed two days ago. There isnt a single flaw I have for it yet. I love it. the touch screen is very accurate and the sound output is amazing. works well with my system.

I am running CDT speakers / components along with 2x 12" ALPINE type-S' in the trunk (FREE AIR SET-UP) Very clean. I will post pics up soon.


Has anyone here been able to fix the glitch as far as watching a movie while driving? I may be going up to vegas soon and im haulding a couple of friends along for the ride. Anyone have a suggestion on how to fix this glitch?

Please let me know.

Cheers.

Adam
