I have the Alpine touchscreen (there's only one). It's called IWA-9000, or something like that. Since I'm an Alpine fan I have biased opinions towards it, but it is my favorite touchscreen deck. The DVD system works great, back-up camera is clear, background colors can change. The only two parts about it that I would like different is the navigation system. It's nice, and works, but it doesn't show construction, which I don't know if any do. Then change the background to a picture. The color can change, but I don't know how to change it to a picture, or if it can be down. Oh, and I haven't tried the Bluetooth yet on it.

Yeah, I don't think the Alpine can do that, or it at least doesn't have a seperate page for it. Example, on one touchscreen deck I saw in Bestbuy, Clarion or something, it had a section on the home page specially for the camera that you could just click, and view.

I have the Pioneer AVH-P2300DVD 5.8"

I Love it. You can switch to camera view on it. I also had a relay run so that we could watch the dvd player while driving.

fixed it for ya

Nope can't be done

Oh, and I haven't tried the Bluetooth yet on it.
Its great and and very clear. Most people are unable to detect that they are on speaker phone.

As Irish stated uploading a picture would be nice, bluetooth Map upgrade-ability for Nav, and also a bug fix for Bluetooth. The Alpine HU recognizes the Bluetooth music before the phone so I can only make the calls from the phone. I can switch the way the HU recognizes the phone but that would lose the music capability e.g. itunes or Pandora.

All and all love the HU and its expandability and the ease to install those items e.g. Bluetooth, Alpine Power pack, rear view camera etc.

Here is a pic:

@Irish on mine there is a camera button next to the phone button that allows me to turn the camera on at anytime and still run any function at the same time e.g. XM or Ipod. But like mentioned above I use a bypass to get around the parking brake requirement.
