New head unit
I put an eclipse head unit into my 05 but I don't like it. I'm trying to decide if I should just go back to the stock unit or put something else in. I don't like how far out the eclipse sits so it's hard to see during the day, I have to activate the nav so that I can see what time it is and my ipod doesn't work with it anymore since the last time I updated the ipod software.
So what are the recommendations?
Thanks

What's your budget?
Many good used Nav units can be found for under $300
A just released top of the line model can run up to $1500
For the 'sticking out' problem, you can cut off the plastic piece in the dash that the radio hits, it isn't needed for an aftermarket HU, and IMHO doesn't do much for the oem radio either.

I think he wants 500.00 for it. We put it in his GTO in August then the car was parked in October and still sets there.
We are upgrading his entire system including a new Z140 when they arrive to us in a couple weeks so the 930 will be for sale. If interested just let me know.
I have a sale pending on my Kenwood 6980 that was in my car for about 2 months as well for 600.00

I bought my eclipse for 750 when it was going for 1000. I would like to get about 400 for it, do you think that is too much? I wasn't looking to spend more then that. I don't need NAV since my phone has it and normally it works better then my car nav, although I do like the traffic update with satellite radio that's in my truck.
The other thing I will be getting rid of is my subs. I put 2 kicker cvx 10" in and they are just way too much for the car, I wouldn't mind getting 250 for those and 50 for the custom box if someone wanted it for there vette. What do you guys think?
