Alpine IVA-W205

[oblivionis]

Does anybody have this yet?

Nobody? I guess I'll have to be the first one.

I just bought the IVA-W200. They did fix a few things with the IVA-W205, so I may sell my W200 to get the IVA-W205.

I knew it was coming I was just too impatient to wait for the IVA-W205.

From all that I've read, the 205 looks great. I'll probably be getting it in the next few days when I finally figure out how to do my whole set up.

Post some pics and let us know where/how much you got it for. I'm researching using this HU and some sort of 7" LCD screens for the headrests for a kiddo entertainment system.

Ebay has them for under $800 shipped. Crutchfiled $899 + tax but they provide assistance with instalation. I already have Infinity Kappa speakers and a 12" Infinity sub ready to go in. So all I need is some Dynamat, speaker adapters and that Alpine head unit and I'm ready to start the install. I will be getting that Blackbird II navi when it comes out so I'm wondering if I should install the GPS antenna right now so I don't have to take the interior apart again later. If so, which antenna do I get and where from???

I've been eyeing that new Alpine unit too, as I want the double DIN size for my SR5...

Also saw a relatively inexpensive "Valor" unit at Crutchfield. Has anyone had any experience with Valor?

I maybe interested in the IVA-W200 if you decide to upgrade. ;-)

I've been thinking about selling it.

I posted it here to see if anyone was interested: Here

There is pictures of my install Here

I kind of want to do HD multicasting which requires the IVA-W205.

PM me if you want to discuss.

I got one of the first shipments from Crutchfield and it's awesome. The XM & I-pod controls are fast and easy to use. I'm just waiting for the Blackbird II to come out so the system can be complete. A must have.

Runcross,

could you post pictures of your install? did you install speakers, amp, subs as well?

I'm considering the W205, probably with speaker upgrades, for my SR5
