Alpine just came out with a new in-dash unit that combines navigation, audio, and video. Called Alpine IVA-W203/P1 this device requires a 2-DIN slot on your dash but offers so much space saving features that it may be worth the $1200 price tag.

What’s really cool about Alpine IVA-W203/P1 is that it uses a removable GPS navigation system called NVE-P1 so if you ever need it in another vehicle you’ll just have the option to do so.

Other features include bluetooth pairing with your cell phone, real iPod support (requires an extra cable), satellite radio support, and also support for various multimedia files.

As far as the navigation system, the device offers preloaded NAVTEQ map data of the United States and Canada, including Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, text-to-speech (TTS) technology, which announces actual street names in English, Spanish or French, all on a 6.5″ touch screen…
