Looking at a CVA 1004R flip out screen and latest NV 77PS navi system.
Anyone got any comments / opinions on this gear?

Cheers

all good stuff - the new alpine 1004 is quite cheap for a flip out screen - about 600 in some on line stores - but you'll need a changer with it. I think the alpine sat nav, especially the dvd, is very good. I'd stop looking and buy it (but make sure you pay the lowest possible price!!)

I thought it looked good, but also considering a pioneer navi system which has the 6500 flip out screen + dvd player built in for around £2300 which I thought was very cheap.
Which would you recommend, alpine or pioneer?

Does anyone else have experience of Alpine kit?

both good, i just prefer the build quality and aesthetics of apline over pioneer. both top quality navi - just find two units to play around with and see which you prefer.

I got the Pioneer screen and dont think there is a better value for money screen - dVD / MP3 / CD/ Tuner etc all in the one unit no extras required Not gone for the Sat Nav as yet but is a serious consideration for the future - u can get the Pioneer cheaper than £2,300 i was offered at £2,050 as a package

Went for the Alpine.
Wicked piece of kit, and build quality second to none

nice one, I'll be changing to alpine (again...) next year, probably dvd sat nav. And i've only just installed the clarion!!
