looks a bit cartoon... like at toy. How does the side control color match up the the A/C controls?

 

Colors match perfectly....The nav looks a bit cartoon I suppose...but it works for me....Oh yeah, Another gripe...the side buttons and pannel dont light up...only the knows have light and there is light around the buttons...Ill take another pic when it gets dark...

 

what type of aftermarket unit is that?

 

definitely take pics with it lit up... thanks

When I first saw this head unit on Ebay I thought the side buttons were back lit.

 

your from the bay huh? cause i can see that ur listening to 94.9

 

Signature TCR-07C. I think its made by Valor Multimedia....The box the GPS module came in was a Valor box...

 

Nice job! This thing has the "OEM" look for sure!

 

This has a subwoofer input right? I can't wait to see the night pics. I'm a little discouraged about the steering wheel controls, but this still looks like it may be my next headunit.

 

ncie clean oem look get some night pics!

 

im very jealous! one of the prides i had about my gen 5.5 was the ability to have a decent looking after market unit that i didnt think was possible on the gen 6 until now! hats off! if i had a gen 6 i would without a doubt get one of these.

 

:thumbup: That looks nice.

 

does it have preouts for the subwoofer, front, rear?

 

Night pics as promised...The buttons do light up, the little dash marks on the buttons, but you really cant see the type as to what each button does above it. I guess I wish it lit up like the factory stereo...NICE AND BRIGHT!!!

The deck has Front, Rear and Sub outputs...Crossover, phase control and level controls for the subwoofer output.

 

how's loading speed of the dvd player and nav unit? some units that i've seen take a while for the nav unit to work and to get around the different menu screens.

 

Nav loads faster than a CD based system since its stored on an SD Card. SD Card also allows maps can be updated as needed usng the included card reader and usb cable.

DVD loads as fast as my last unit, an Alpine IVA-D200 in my Tahoe. I'm not sure how it compares to the Eclipse or Kenwood.

Some of the other units I looked at were pretty slow to load DVD, but this one seems to work pretty well.

Thanks. Yeah, the other Nav/DVD units I am looking at right now are the Pioneer AVIC and the Eclipse AVN series.

thats sucks that the back face is not lit. a major design flaw... I hope you like and enjoy your system

^^^ wow thats alot of clams. it looks great though.

 

I agree with the earlier post about it looking 'cartoonish'

Plus at $1750, I would buy a real OEM unit from oemvalue.com

That said, you are happy and that's what matters. :thumbup:

 

Nice review. I was wondering about this unit... I saw it after I ordered my AVIC-D3. I don't feel so bad now... I really enjoy the iPod control the AVIC offers.

It sucks that the buttons don't light up but at least there's only 8 to remember... not really a big deal.

Is the appearance customizable (buttons, backgrounds, etc)? Does it require the vehicle to be stopped to play DVDs or do certain phone/nav functions? If so, is it easily bypass-able? (Note: I'd never watch DVDs while driving, although it can be handy for passengers.)

Enjoy your new head unit :thumbup:

 

The price on eBay is reflective of retail prices I found. A friend owns a shop so I was able to get it below cost at $1300. Cost on the unit is $1450, so he's selling them for $1500 installed.

I didnt like the way the D3 looked, plus I didnt want to use a kit. I looked at oem value, but I would have had to spend the extra $250 since I dont have the JBL system. I seriously considered it though because I wanted factory look. This became the best alternative.

Ya...I wish the buttons lit up, but oh well. background is customizable but the buttons on the touch screen are not. The system is grounded using by grounding the parking wire to something metal, allowing DVD's to be played while driving. I also liked that even if the iPod, DVD or video functions wereworking, the voice prompts for the nav still came through.

My opinion, I wanted OEM look and I got a good price. Otherwise, I would have gone with the Eclipse or Kenwood.

If anyone in NorCal is interested, PM me and I will get you in touch with the shop that did it. Like I said, he's selling them at $1500 installed if you're looking for OEM look and don't have JBL.

Looks really nice. I'm in Norcal and might be interested in talking your friend, but I have JBL plus I installed XM. Any idea if the aftermarket JBL-adaptors will work on this headunit? And does it have the same satellite radio connector as the factory unit?
