strykr Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Now that I realize I can actually put a double din unit in my car, I've begun looking at different options. Does anyone know of any units that support a hard drive? I know pioneer makes one that comes with a hard drive, but it would be way cheaper to add the drive myself. (Especially since I have a bunch already sitting around). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zmarko Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Pioneer has the AVIC-Z3. 30gb HD I believe. I don't know any that come empty so the end user can install their own. EDIT--Also, you need to worry about vibration and the HD can handle being inside a car constantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strykr Posted June 11, 2009 Author Share Posted June 11, 2009 EDIT--Also, you need to worry about vibration and the HD can handle being inside a car constantly. I would like to put in a solid state drive for that reason, assuming I can find a unit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zmarko Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Try google, I only knew of the AVIC....so when I googled it the AVIC is the only one I saw that was a US market unit. And what do you want? DVD/NAV? I think you'll be hard pressed to find one that's designed to use a HD that doesn't already come with one installed. Most people don't want to pull apart a $1000 piece of equipment to install a HD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fzanetti Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 This is what you would want then: http://www.eclipse-web.com/us/avn/avn726eoverviews.html I have a friend who has the older version (regualar HDD) and this thing is AMAZING!!!!!

strykr Posted June 11, 2009 Author Share Posted June 11, 2009 The primary thing I would like is to be able to have all my music accessible. dvd/nav would be nice, but not a necessity. I agree itll be tough to find something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strykr Posted June 12, 2009 Author Share Posted June 12, 2009 Looks like most units with a USB port for thumb drives will work. I assume the drive needs to be formatted in fat32 since that is what most thumb drives are formatted in. So far I think I'm gonna go with the Pioneer AVIC-F series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
