I was just reading up on the Clarion VRX925VD and it seems it is exactly what im looking for the only problem i have so far is that ive heared that you cant have it playing while your moving. Im not very happy about this is there anyway to hook it up or do something to it so it can play while your driving???

all shops technically say that because it is illegal to have it done to work when u'r car is actually in drive..........but if u know the shop thats doing the installation for u, u can ask them to rig it to work when u r in drive also........mine works when driving also, i've got the pioneer one

g luck

can you do it yourself?

or Panasonic 7200U? Or does the HK amp work ok with it?

I was also wondering if this indash dvd headunit would work without an amp. but all i have is the regular stock stero system (non HK) would i still be able to use this???

Both are comparable to the Clarion unit but w/o touch screen. 7200 is actually more like the Clarion but plays MP3 CDs. The 9200 unit has a center channel amp built in and 5.1 digital encoder built in..in which the Clarion has it but has to be bought seperately. I got the 9200 version but haven't installed it. Bought it for $1700.
