Has any body used the Alpine IVA-505 or Eclipse AVN-6620 head units. I know about the the Pioneer but, nothing about these two. Any info good/bad on these? Thanks again for the input.

I haven't used the Eclipse units but I can tell you the Alpine is a very nice unit. They really stepped up there all in one units in the past few years.

I have the Eclipse AVN 7000 and at the time, two years ago there was nothing available with the features it offered.

GPS part is first class. There are some rural roads around my area that I didn't know the names for but this unit did. CD/DVD player works just as good. I also installed the backup camera which is great if you have a long bed truck with a shell over the bead. Don't know about the Alpine units, but have heard that the new Pioneer units are good also.
