ELASTIC BAND
My mate has a Pioneer AVIC-D3 ( i think its that one? )
built in sat nav
ipod interface, basically gives himan onscreen touch jog dial
built in bluetooth handsfree
and im sure it had a 30gb hdd in it
dvd & vcd playback aswell
reversing camera input
as to is it worth it, ive got a single din pioneer 6.5" , never use the dvd player part, rarely use the touch screen to do / change stuff, ocasionally watch tv on it, when waiting around.
reversing cam picture could be handy tho

Legend
Worth what?
£50 and sticking one in an empty double din sized hole in a Toyota? Yes.
£200 and cutting holes in the dash of an old Ford to make it fit? Probably not.
I've got 3 Alpine screens in my car [1 in the dash and 2 in the headrests] and used them on journeys possibly twice [not including the novelty factor sat watching porn whilst parked up dogging somewhere]. Once with a mate watching Condor Man as we sat in a traffic jam on the M25 and once on a journey with my nephew in the back. He vegitated for 15 minutes watching High School musical, wouldn't say a word so he got a bollocking and they've not been switched on since.
Total waste of time IMHO even for kids in the back. If people's children can't stay well behaved enough for a car journey without sitting and watching a DVD, there's bigger issues.

i was thinking more along the lines of a double din unit for the mondeo that will have satnav cababilities
at least there won't be a tomtom stuck in the window to distract me and if i can use the tomtom sd card in the head unit even better
with that in mind, i might put the tomtom onto ebay to make some moreny back
