Granted, we can't imagine Eclipse's AVN2210p appealing to more than a minuscule chunk of you out there, but we can't help but take note when someone rips apart their dash and drives around with it for days on end. The mettlesome crew at GPSReview was able to take the multifaceted device for a literal spin, and while they weren't thrilled with the tricky installation, lack of an included traffic kit, and the omission of text-to-speech, everything else seemed peachy. The TomTom DUO that slots into the in-dash device churned through routing at a respectable pace, and the touchscreen management of the internal functions seemed to delight time after time. Of course, it's hard to say whether or not replacing your double-DIN stereo with this conglomerate is a logical step to take, but if you were tabling this do-it-all creation until some kind words were spoken, we'd suggest giving the read link some thorough attention.
Oh, I want that so bad.

looks like a revival of the 80ties design *urghs*
nothing beats a broditclip!
OMG is that thing ever ugly. Looks like they rammed a tom-tom into a double din slot next to an ipod using a mallet. FUGLY.
Wow, that thing is hideous. Why not go for the more elegant looking solution of an Alpine IVA-W205 and a Blackbird 200??
I have a Navman iDN 3000 which is far better looking.
You can get the travel kit for free if you order one by 7/31:

Does anyone know if this would support a car that currently has a headphone jack style plug for the ipod?
I think you have to purchase a seperate "Kit" that allows you to connect your Ipod-but if you do this then you can navigate the ipod through the TomTom screen. Otherwise you can get an auxillary "kit" that allows you to use the 3mm jack but you can't navigate the music. It also has a usb port on the front of the deck so you can play music that is on a thumbdrive.
I knew, I knew I had at last found just what I needed for my car it had it all! It covered all the bases. So I bought it. I really thought that the ipod and xm interfaces would be available right away. I bought the thing. I really bought it. No interfaces... not even possible release dates....... whimper
i bought it.
