The AVN6600's DVD-based navigation function is its main selling point.

The AVN6600 is also equipped for a TV tuner and high-definition radio, and includes inputs for a backup camera and even a videotape recorder. The unit, designed similarly to the Pioneer AVIC Z-1, is wired for Sirius satellite radio and includes an optional connection for an iPod, which when linked, can be controlled through the unit's touch-screen buttons. Without the latter, it can be a laborious process to get a video started (press the screen to get the menu > press the Next button > press the Menu button > use the up and down arrows to select the required onscreen option > press the enter button to make a selection).The Eclipse AVN6600 is a double-DIN, in-dash head unit that combines a navigation system with a range of audio/visual media playback options.

Unlike the Jensen VM9312 we tested recently, the AVN5500 does not touch-enable the individual DVD movie menus, requiring users to touch onscreen directional arrows to navigate menus or to invest in an optional remote control. To play a movie, car occupants will have to remove the navigation DVD ROM: an extra incentive not to drive with the video playing.
With the parking brake engaged, the AVN5510 can be used to play DVD video. Those not satisfied with the system's standard built-in amp's 15w x 4-channel can hook up an external amp to the unit, thanks to three 5V preamp outputs. It also features advanced settings for a separate subwoofer, including options for phase control and woofer level, as well as frequency and high-pass filter settings. The AVN5510 offers the same digital signal processing presets, EQ customization (via 7-band parametric EQ to preference through a touch screen mixer), and acoustic-field customization as the previous-generation models. We like the AVN5510's intuitive menus for navigating and selecting disc-based MP3 and WMA files. Add-on modules can also be used to turn the AVN5510 into an HD radio tuner and a receiver for Sirius Satellite radio, although there is no XM Satellite Radio option-a disappointing restriction on an aftermarket system. Lacking a built-in hard drive, the AVN5510 and AVN6610 are unable to compete with the Pioneer AVIC-Z1 and Z2 in terms of media storage, but, like the Pioneer systems, the Eclipse unit can be hooked up to iPods via an external module. Navigating digital audio libraries is made very easy by the intuitive touch screen menus that show folder and file information in a clear format. We also like the way that the AVN5510 can show ID3- and WMA-tag information at the same time as displaying the map screen.įor digital audio playback, the AVN5510 supports regular CDDA discs as well as discs encoded in MP3 and WMA formats. For selecting destination manually from a map, we like the system's one-touch variable-speed scrolling feature.Ĭustomization options for the AVN5510's navigation system are very impressive, with four screens of options, including options for auto-reroute, intersection guidance, and building-shape display for streets in metropolitan areas. Destination entry is performed using the system's touch screen keypad, and can be made using a number of options including address, point-of-interest (POI) name, POI category, and by physically selecting destinations from the map. In layout and functionality, the navigation features of the AVN5510 are much the same as those we liked so much on the AVN6600.
(The other major difference between the AVN5510 and the AVN6610 is the latter's support for optional Sirius Traffic, a service that provides real-time information on traffic flow, congestion, and incidents.)
ECLIPSE DVD NAVIGATION SYSTEM UPGRADE
Those looking for more media capabilities can upgrade to the AVN 6610, which comes with two DVD slots, enabling car occupants to simultaneously listen to CDs, use the navigation system, and play video on rear displays. Alternatively, the navigation DVD ROM can be removed to play DVD video on the unit's wide-screen display or on external rear-seat monitors via RCA output cables. With its two disc slots (one for CDs and one for DVDs), the AVN5510 can be used for navigation duties simultaneously and to play disc-based audio.
