I was looking at the Eclipse unit... I thought it sounded a bit nicer and it has an available hard drive for map and mp3 storage.
You may be thinking about the AVIC-N2, the single-DIN with the flipout screen. Sadly, the D2 won't play DVDs at all. But then I doubt I'd be sitting in the Boxster watching DVDs with a widescreen surround sound home theatre system at home. The Eclipse unit seemed nice but I believe it did something silly like not displaying the MP3 file names during playback (unless things have changed and they have a new model out now.
