Pioneer AVIC-F700BT?

Thinking about getting the Pioneer AVIC-F700BT. Is it a hard install? What else do I need other then an installation kit?

Pioneer AVIC-F700BT (avicf700bt) All In-Dash Car Stereo Receivers Car Stereo Receivers and Head Units Car Audio Car Audio, Video, & GPS Navigation - Sonic Electronix

Got this idea lastnight, I want to see if its worth it...

Rangerboy101 just installed one the other day. All you need is the install kit. I have the F90BT and LOOOOVE it.

Get the kenwood dnx5100. Its much better. I have messed with both and bought the kenwood. Its got a much better gps navigation software and the interface is 100 times better throughout.

I disagree I like the Pioneer much better. But thats just my opinion though. Go to a audio shop and use both and then get whichever one you like better.

No, the 900BT and 90BT are the only ones that do.

I love my 700, wish I sprang for the 900 though.

Have an ipod video? Or a newer nano that will hold videos? If so then just put the DVD on your ipod.

Way overpriced, get the F900BT instead and save some cash. I wouldn't trust that topbuysdirect site. It probably doesn't include any of the cables or antennas that you need. Thats how rangerboy101's was.

Wouldn't it still be way cheaper to buy the 700bt for $230 and buy the installation kit and cables separate than to buy everything for like $430 or whatever the other places want?

The kenwood is an awesome until. I have the 5140. Those newer pioneers aren't very good, the sOftware could be way way better. Not to mention they take like a min to load on startup. Highly recommend the kenwood.
