8000NEX have detachable face?


Recommended Posts

I believe the 6000 (six not eight) also has a detatchable panel on it.  The screen itself isn't detatchable, just the plate to the left of the screen with the buttons on it.  Just to confirm though, the 8000 is not detatchable at all and I'm pretty sure the 7000 isn't either.

Thanks for all the replies.  I was initially going to get the 4000NEX but took an interest for the 8000NEX because of the screen being much more bright and vibrant even though it's the same resolution.  I really didn't need the built in NAV necessarily.  Just hoping the 4000 has a nice enough screen.

 

I'm also waiting on Car Play like everyone else and could probably just use Apple maps even though it is quirky for when I need nav.

The 4000's brightness is more than acceptable to me.  In fact I'm glad I can turn it WAY down when the illumination lead is energized (e.g. lights are on) as otherwise it would be too bright at night-time.  As it is it works fine.

 

It's a resistive screen as opposed to capacitive so the front is plastic as opposed to glass.  This means it's more-easily damaged but in a car it should be fine, since it's not in your pocket.  Multi-touch isn't available on a resistive screen but for a head unit it doesn't really matter.

 

I like it -- I'd like a bit more responsiveness but that's not the screen, it's the CPU power.  There's a bit of a lag -- not bad (especially compared to some other brands like cough-Kenwood-cough!) but it definitely could use a bit more horsepower.
