April are you serious, man, waiting the for the Alpine X008 or X009 kit might just be that much easier.  At least they got back to you, I emailed them twice, facebooked them and sent them a twitter message with no response.

And don't be surprised if it's late April.

So is this correct: 4000nex + GPS add on = 8000nex - capacitive screen?

doesn't the 4000 also have the capacitive screen?!  I thought it did?

In all the 4000 listing it doesn't say, maybe a 4000 owner here can chime in

It is half the price of the 8000......a $700+ difference suggests that it HAS to be missing more than just a GPS sensor.  Maybe it doesn't have that fancy glass screen....

The AVH DVD units have always lacked the capacitive screen. And why are we discussing AVH units in the navi forum? Please get back on topic.

HEY! my local shop just got theirs in today!!!

they have the 8000nex, plus all the others too!

going to head out to see it tomorrow.
