There are no replacement parts for it. I think just to save $100 would not be enough for a throw away unit. It's a Chinese knockoff, it should be priced appropriately. If they come down to China prices say less then 25% of the Alpine price it might be worth checking out but I can't justify spending $400 for it, then tomorrow it breaks and it sits on a shelf in my closet. I wouldn't buy a fake Rolex either unless it was substantially less then a real one. But I've owned a real Rolex and a fake one before, then I've owned Alpine and I know from experience that as I'm driving around I would always know what I've actually got in the dash just like what I have on my wrist. Life is about the experience and I'm going to stick with Alpine and Rolex and Real Breasts. That's just who I am.

I don't think that your analogy is accurate, at all. The NAV-20 was for expeditors (i.e. dealerships), it isn't a knock off.

when i goggled i found people having problems with their rear camera and using thier ipod (on the knockoff version) and there is no evidence the parts are interchangable, im just saying, im going to go with the alpine unit, if you want something nice, its worth a little extra.
when i google i get horror stories like no rear view camera and ipod doesn't work. i havn't seen any evidence that the parts interchange, in fact it's not even listed in the parts catalogs. im just saying. if you want an alpine buy an alpine. anyway, as i had said, if i can get a nav20 for a couple hundred bucks, ok but ive seen people trying to pass them off as alpine for $900! they don't even come in an alpine box.
im saying i wouldn't buy a nav20 unless it was priced sub $200. there is no evidence that the parts are interchangeable, it's not listed in the parts catalog or the alpine website and there are people online that are complaining about problems with it. i just feel sorry for anyone who has spent more then 200 on one and i want to help those trying to compare it with alpine equipment.

You have provided absolutely ZERO proof for your statements, and it's really obnoxious that you are still pushing something that has no basis in truth. I work for an authorized Alpine dealer and when I talked to the rep firm/distributor for Alpine for the area they had them in stock and gave the answer I provided above for the difference. So post some proof or shut up.
