What is your opinion on this Double Din DVD/NAV/BlueTooth in dash source unit, as far as dB Drag, Bass Race or hell just everyday listening?

I have the DNX7100 in my car. I love it myself.

Does everything I need it to do and then some. Ground the parking brake wire and your video bypass is done. The navigation is so dead accurate that it's scary. The iPod interface for audio and video is sweet as can be.

Sound quality is pretty damn good also. It sounds better than the Pioneer flip-out TV I ran before this and also has stronger pre-outs from unit to unit with no changes to the gain settings on my amps.

Definitely worth it in my book.

yep. It's a great deck. My boss at the shop put one in his truck recently. He loves it way better than his Alpine flipout, or the Eclipse AVN6610 and 6620's.
There is only one complaint i've heard...that the maps look like they were drawn with crayon. Garmin makes great navigation, but goofy maps.

Hey Manauta, have you customized your background yet? You can load new background pictures as .jpg's through the USB. We put our store logo on them when installed.

load a .jpg image of the correct size onto a USB memory stick. then plug the memory stick into the usb cord from the deck(NOT to ipod usb).
If I remember correctly, then go to Standy mode. then SETUP, USER INTERFACE, then in the middle is USER BACKGROUND. if you can't do it, it's probably in the manual
