Default Dual

Anyone have any experiance with Dual? Specifically..

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1138085803502

Im considering buying it off my friend for $200, but I currently have an Alpine CVA-1006. Would it be worth it to basically trade my run of the mill Alpine for this Dual (better per channel watts, 18watts RMS per channel, touchscreen, 7" widescreen, cd/dvd/etc...)

I just wanna get some opinions before I decide.

No. That is the biggest POS that we've ever sold.

I have installed several dual dvd players, they have decent screen quality, and the screens are adjustable, but you cant view a movie while driving, the unit requires you be in park and you have to pull up your ebrake 3 times in a sec to get it to play, the only way arround it I have found is to call up duals tech line and try to pry the unlock code out of them.
There is no sound tunning, as far as changing any db level, sub tunning, high mids and low are all none exsisting , the only tunning is bass and treble, in + or - setting, which is pretty much the same as a headunit from 10 years ago, dual units are junk dont waste your money on them

Thanks for the input guys. My alpine is the same way with the ebrake and such, except I've gotten around that with 2 switches .. I could but something that does it automatically, but im not paying $50 for something that takes me 3 seconds to do.

As for wanting touch screen and such, ill manage
