hello all
i have been been following what you all have been doing with your prados for almost 12 months now, so i thought i had better join in.
we have been looking at adding dvd,gps and bluetooth to our 05 glx prado. i have been following various threads on a lot of forums on the various replacement head units that are now available.i know most of these head units are able to to 3 things at once but i have yet to see one that can do 4 things and still have a 5 or 6 cd staker.
we would like to keep the mp3 stacker in the dash (so we in the front have at least 6 hrs of our music and don't have to listen what ever the teenagers think is good this week.)
we are looking at putting a twin screen dvd on the headrests in the back for the kids. i would like to keep them removable so they coud be taken into the tent / camper at night.
the gps, something like a AVIC-F500BT on dash gps for the rest. http://www.crutchfield.com/S-CwDdK2L4ED ... 500BT.html
has any one been able to put off road mapping on to the pioneer systems? i thought i had seen a how to on a forum some were on the net but now i cant find any trace of it any were.
or is there another / better system that is less than $500.00
must haves
5" or bigger screen (so don't need glasses to read it)
a/v input for rear view camera
full bluetooth to access the phone's contacts list to make calls (without having to scroll through the phones small screen again no glasses required).
good easy to use street nav (wife not good with electronics)
able to load and use offroad nav.
any help guidance would be greatly appreciated
