Hey guys, I have a 98 GS400 without the stock nav and plan to add a full Alpine Navigation/DVD system in the near future. I am far from an expert on this stuff, but here is a list of the stuff I *think* I want:

Alpine TME-790 stand alone 7" 1-din monitor
Alpine DVA-5205 in-dash DVD player
Alpine NVE-852A Vehicle Navigation system

Is that all that I need? I think that the DVD player and NAV system can both be run through the monitor, but i am not sure. Please let me know if this is all that I need. Sorry these questions are probably extremely basic, but I appreciate any help. Thanks!

 

contact todd of tmengineering.net, he has good service and know ledge on the alpine stuff

yes, you can run the dvd and nav through the same monitor. you have great taste! all of the components are top notch. i like the 7" monitor because you can swivel the darn thing. i used to have the dvd nav in my car and it's excellent.

i would contact todd, he's the one who worked on alpine's show car! Can't get anymore experienced than that!
