Pioneer Avic X1 or X1R

[rfisher]

What's the difference between the X1 and the X1R?

[nickwilcock]

Basically, a number of improvements. See:

If youre thinking of buying these people seem to have the best price at the moment.

No idea who they are though, anyone had experience of them ?

Never heard of them, but I (and IIRC others on here) have bought from: http://caraudiosecurity.com/shop/prod

If you can afford £1450 then the Alpine is the best piece of kit out there - got it installed in my Tuscan and it is simply brilliant. Sat nav is same quality as the Pioneer but you don't need to put in a DVD each time since it's a separate unit - so I can watch the Simpsons / listen to the iPod or CD while getting navigation. iPod connection is perfect by the way - full titles, playlists and a scroll interface on the screen i.e. drag your finger down the screen to scroll through the lists. All in all the package is great and well worth the extra money in my opinion - worth having a look anyway...

Good luck,

Thanks for all the replys.

Does the X1R do SCAM camera positions as well or can you get updates for this?

No it does not unfortunately. Only downfall of the unit. I don;t have the X1R but have the X1R disk in my avic900 dvd.

You can store camera positions and set it to alarm when you are half a mile away.

If you are interested in separate avic900 and screen or AVH-P5700 DVD plaayer let me know might be able to help, saves you taking the disk out every time you have to play cd's/dvd's
