Who has a DVD/MP3 player in the Viper?
What brand did you get and do you like it?
Anything I should look for while shopping these.

No, I'm not going to watch it while driving, just looking at some options while shopping for a new CD/MP3 player.

Thanks

I've got a Pioneer AVIC-N1 in my '00, which has GPS navigation, MP3, CD, DVD, etc. The reason I got it was due to the GPS navigation - I was tired of making custom brackets for my StreetPilots, and was running out of ideas on how to do a non-intrusive bracket for my '00 RT. (It was easy on my old '95 RT, I made a bracket that used the tonneau snap on the top of the dash).

I highly recommend the unit - sound quality is *much* improved over the stock Alpine unit, and, in fact, I've felt no need to upgrade any other component of the sound system. However, I beleive the model has been replaced by the AVIC-N2, and the latest Crutchfield catalog indicates there is now an AVIC-N3 for $1799. I found the AVIC-N1 for $1550 when Crutchfield had it for the same $1799 price, so you could likely find it for a few hundred cheaper.

Installation was non-trivial - I spent eight hours on it, as well as an additional few hours on research and construction of an Alpine DIN to normal RCA converter so I didn't have to cut into the car's stock speaker wiring.

Hi JD!

Wayne is having a blast with his snake, it has performed flawlessly many, many miles. He has even driven it to work, which is unheard of for Wayne...
What it sounds like, I'm not sure who is more exited, Wayne or his son?

I'll be sure to give your greetings to him!
