Everyone keeps saying that people should be allowed to make intelligent decisions. Fact is, most people make decisions that are anything but intelligent. I don't want to be killed by some Honda driving fast and the furious kid's "intelligent" decisions. I wouldn't buy one because of the NAV not working while in motion, but it makes me feel safer knowing that other people have them.

5150- Thats the best sig I have ever seen.   

Now on topic.... I just installed an N2 into a 300C and the customer was aware of the differences in the N2 and N1.     He still went with the N2.       I personally wouldnt but thats why they make different units.     If you want Nav and front seat video buy an N1 or buy some other companies product.    I for one am getting the avh-p7500dvd because I want 5.1.     If you dont like it then I wouldnt buy it.    SImple as that.    There are plenty other great units out there.    

Do I think its right that they are doing this?.........No,  I think it should be up to the owner to make the decision.   There will always be law breakers and people that make stupid decisions behind the wheel.     I think that this will only hurt the units sales.     Which is unfotunate because the N1 was VERY popular.

I voted Against what Alpine is doing because I do do not like being treated like a child or the "Dumbing Down of Americans".

Like a lot of folks here already said, I would not buy it.   Pioneer will lose a huge amount of potential $$$$$ because salespersons will soon be forced to tell customers the "exact features" instead of  lying or (not completely explaining) just to sell. And all of us here already know whats up. Plus the N1 won't be available soon, you can count on that. 

For the people who are saying that passengers will be more comfortable with rear monitors : I prefer to have just one unit and it absolutely has to be mounted "Stealth" FUQQ Insurance claims! I don't want my window broken at all!    My Alpine is mounted in my glovebox and slides out on tracks a couple of inches for screen to come up. Taps into my CDA7995 via aux input.  Everyone in my car has to watch that screen and it works fine. I have a crappy clip on monitor that temporarily goes on for back seat use, but nothing stays.

EIther way, that is not what is really important here.   We   "the people who like mobile audio/video, especially high end" are not retarded. You can be distracted in your car a million more ways than watching a DVD. Remember those crazy car insurance commercials a while back?    If anything, the manufacturer should include a release of liability form for the customer to sign that waives any manufacturer's responsibility  in case of an accident.  You can buy up to 500 horsepower of Nitrous Oxide and bolt it right on but the manufacturer doesn't limit it's use. Very Fun, but far more dangerous in my opinion.

Just be Responsibe and don't masturbate while driving! It's just common sense. 

I know at least 20 people with DVD's in dash and nobody has even come close to having a wreck. And some of them play XXX music videos (relate to GGW Videos) and it is never an issue. Maybe if seeing the tits are causing the accidents then DVD manufactures should include a book of nude shots to let the apparent sexually inexperienced/ or virgin see some before he gets in trouble driving under the influence D.U.I.T.

BTW, I wouldn't buy the Pioneer anyways because I think their sound quality sucks ad they seem to pick up interference and fail way too much. The only thing they had going was the really cool nav feature which we use in my friends caddy regularly. And as someone earlier said, the passenger is or should be in charge of the navigation system. If you need to use it then pull over.

Also, you can just put in the address and it will talk you there( verbally tell you how to get there just like a live person does at On-Star for GM owners)

boom, boom, boom boom....

i believe that it is non of the manufactures business what people do with their products and when. distractions while driving are a bad thing but i think i could name a few distractions that are worse than a movie playing on a 7 inch screen. Yall ever seen someone reading a book or worse yet the newspaper while driving. what a bout eating and drinking while driving, some people even have trouble navigating their fm radios to a station they want to hear. I think that if a person is abusing comon sense then they diserve whatever reprocutions they get. Plus how many people do yall know that have been in accidents because of their tvs? I think that a person pulled over on the side of the road or an auto accident is more of adistraction that a freakin little tv.
And has anyone seen these new outdoor lcd displays that bars and companys are getting as billboards. these freajkin things are bright and like 42 inches. Y not sue them for distractions?
