Default Eclipse Nav or ???

I like the Eclipse AVN5435 found a shop here that will install it for $2115 out the door, should I go for it or is there another unit I should look at first?

Is $2115 fair?

TIA

Well Crutchfields has it for $1699.00 and we all know they aren't the cheapest aound. That makes the install $415.00.

But it includes 7.75% tax, parts, shipping etc and 3 year warranty, you only get 1 year if you install it yourself.

They will install it for $200 so I could save a bit but if I have a problem I would need to ship it.

better find out how they are going to install it. you may or might not like it if they just shave the console enough for it to fit. I believe, usually whole dash modification will run $350 or more (relocating the divider bar and moving the ac down.

The dash opening in a C4 is the perfect size for the Eclipse a C5 does have to be trimed a bit. In the C4 the only mod is some of the plastic behind the radio will have to be cut out. I did this myself with a dremel in just a few minutes. I tell you I just gave this radio 5 stars on Cruchfield (that's where I got mine, I live 45 minutes from it).

You'll love it!!!!!!

I absolutely love mine! I just returned from Florida and used the navigation a whole lot. It really worked great. Also, it has great sound and I love the Sirius radio! I paid $2200.00 installed so the price sounds fair.

That unit is 1300 on ebay. Bezels are probably 20, 40 for the harness if that.

Sounds like you are getting raped. Why do people pay to have these installed, it's pretty darn easy to do yourself. Give it a shot and save 700 dollars.

Well, everyone I talked to says there is no bezel or harness available yet so it needs to be custom...

do you know different, I know some have modified another bezel???
