I'm thinking of buying the <a href="http://www.crutchfield.com/S-GqDfqsgYoiy/App/Product/Item/Main.aspx?i=099AVN2210">Eclipse AVN2210p</a> to use in my new Altima. It seems like a nice system, and looks like it has all the features I want-- CD player, Bluetooth hands-free support, iPod support, and a GPS navigation system, too. Before I buy it, I want to make sure it works with all my gear. So I have a bunch of questions:
1) Will the Eclipse unit (really a TomTom 720, I believe) work with my Sprint Centro? The Centro is very similar to the Palm Treo 755p. What features will be supported? Hands-free is a must, downloading the phone numbers from my phone is desired, and support for TomTom Plus services would be nice. The Centro doesn't show up on <a href="http://www.tomtom.com/phones/compatibility/?intProduct=18">TomTom's</a> list of compatible phones, but the Treo 650 does.
2) How is the sound for the hands-free operation? Can I add an external microphone?
3) Will this unit integrate with the steering wheel controls on my 2007 Altima Hybrid (standard stereo)?
4) How easy is it to install in the Altima? How does it look?
5) How is the iPod interface?
6) Any thing I should know about the Nav system? It support spoken directions, correct?
Thanks for your help. I'll be checking in.
