Don't knock Clarion, they've got some real good stuff.

How in the world did you come to the conclusion that AutoPC is made of crap parts? I think compared to 99.9% of all the car stereos available, AutoPC beats them hands down. It is a $1300 to $1500 item after all. AutoPC is a different sort of product than the empeg. The empeg is going to be sold and targetted as a music player, the AutoPC is being sold as a car-technology integrator. It does music too, as well as other things, like GPS navigation, integrated cellular, e-mail, and other computer like things. The empeg does not do that (yet). Does that mean the empeg is made of crap parts?
