seen lots of em, go to your local electronics shop they should have a demo.


-what I dont like is it doesnt play mp3/dvd's would be great to have 4.7 gigs of music
-the interface I found was a little laggy compared to their regular head units,
-You should really buy a double din kit and do the flip flop pocket mod otherwise the screen is going to cover your heat vents.
-even if you take your face off the N1 is attractive to theifs, since it has the dvd/player screen in it, a theif may just take your empty deck and get a face online, make sure you have some interal sirens in your car.


I say if you got an extra couple grand to spend its a cool unit but be realistic

do you really need mapping? if so you think its worth $2k?
are you ever going to watch a DVD in the car? When its installed it probably wont play dvd's while moving, (grounding the ebreak will avoid that, if its for your passengers)

its a slick head unit, 2k could buy you a nice set of shoes and socks if catch my drift

1st, i have no idea what you mean by "what I dont like is it doesnt play mp3/dvd's would be great to have 4.7 gigs of music"...it DOES play MP3s and DVDs...

2nd, i definitely agree with the double-din dash kit swap...if you run your a/c on a hot day, condensation can build up on the unit and possibly jack something up...and i'm sure blowing the heater directly on it isn't such a great idea either...

and 3rd, the navigation is the main reason most people would buy it...all these features packed into a DIN-size unit...if they didn't there's a ton of other DIN-sizedDVD/MP3/monitors without it, and you'll save a few hundred...

i have the N1, but i am in the middle of massive renovation of the interior of my car, so it has never been installed...i researched it for quite a while before i bought it, and i was not disappointed...you can check out a great review of the N1 here...hope this helps...good luck!

yeah, you can save a $hitload of money buy just hitting Mapquest before you get on the road, but i really needed this unit...my roommates started calling me "Scenic", because i pretty much suck at getting anywhere near where i need to go without taking the longest route possible...plus i just like to have expensive stuff to play with ...and that's a good call on saving for rims, etc...get the important stuff taken care of first, then blow some $$$...good luck!

He means that you cannot burn 4.4 gigs of MP3s onto one DVD and then have like a thousand songs to be able to choose from without switching disks.
