Hi all,
Currently fitting out the new tug a VX 200 series TTD (nicest vehicle I have ever owned)
On my last 200 I had an Eclipse AVN726EA this was a good unit that did pretty well everything I wanted it to do except it didnt have Hema mapping.
There is a new verion of the AVN out now the AVN827GA just got home from looking at it at the radio shop very fancy nearly need a degree in electronics to operate it still doesnt have Hema mapping but it does have selected offroad tracks installed on it (bet the track you need isnt on it).
The only head unit that I'm aware of that has Hema mapping is the VMS unit (correct me if I'm wrong) but I fell this unit is over priced & not user friendly (feedback please from those who have one).
I also looked at a Pioneer 930BT head unit it has no off road mapping but appears to be fairly easy to navigate in operation & should be about $500 cheaper than the AVN827GA.
The Hema mapping feature would be nice ....but then we can always use the Hema maps in the "Camps" book!!
I look forward to input from those who have upgraded their headunits & would appreciate hearing about your selection & why.
If you were to go out & purchase another unit tomorrow would you buy the same again or would you buy xyz with these missing features???
Of course I need a unit that can handle two cameras & be able to have the caravan camera on while towing & still be able to use the audio.
