Double DIN, good idea?, Thinking of switching to a double DIN head unit.... Options

[Racer_J]

Ok.. So I'm thinking of switching from my current head unit to a double DIN. The reason being is this... My head unit is playin-up (it's a face-off type and the connector seems dodgy). There's a guy I work with selling a brand new double DIN head unit I'm interested in. This thing plays DVD's, has a 6.5" touchscreen LCD, Bluetooth, TV, MP3, WMA and DivX compatible, has connection for Ipod/Zen, etc, etc... the list goes on and on...

He only wants £60 for it too!!

Only one problem...

The face doesn't come off, which worries me as the unit will be on display 24/7 and might tempt someone to break into my car


What do you guys think?

Go ahead and upgrade. Sounds sweet. Just make sure you park in the garage at night, and upgrade your alarm as well

Get this one:

So if someone trys to jack your stuff, you'll get a beep on your handset showing you a picture of who's ass to go and beat

How would that work exactly? Would the camera have to be facing in the direction of the intruder? Or is it a motion sensor camera?

I believe its a stationary camera. I suppose you could make it a motion sensor camera, but that'd be a whole other system; and not related to the alarm. It's totaly possible though. (i'll spare you my mental blue-prints on how it'd be done , PM me for that)

But still, you could put it right in the middle of your dash, so you'd see someones face as they're ripping your stuff. Or put it far back on the top of the dash to see both driver and passager seats so you know what they're wearing and everything. Makes it easier to... "Identify"... (although that's not what i'd say if this was a Texas bassed forurm )

Seriously though, I want this alarm, and i've got some cheap-o radio
