anyone looked into this?

I like the fact that it has a 7" screen and a video so I can play DVD's from my factory deck. There are a lot of pages in the thread I linked to but the overall consensus was that it was a capable unit for the price.
There is a fancy Garmin unit that runs 1200 bux but it has no video input.

I started that thread, here is is a picture of what it will look like in your Jeep:
It is kind of large on the dash, that is why I opted for the AVIC-Z1.
If you are interested in that unit, I have a brand new one in the box.

how is that secured to the dash?
>>> Comes with a suction mount for the windshield or you can buy a disk that glues to the dash and use the mount there.
also, does it run on a battery at all or does it need to be plugged in with that cord at all times?
>>> It does not have an internal battery and needs to be plugged in or hardwired. You can cut the plug as the unit uses 12v.

I paid about $550.00, but you now can get it for about $450.00.
I personally like it very much, because I knew what to expect. The GPS is very quick to connect, track very well and the video is OK.
I bought it primarily for the large display, I think it was the first out the gate like that and it worked well in my large Suburban's windshield. I still have it, actually a brand new one in the box. I had send it back for a minor issue and because of the tread I had started, they send me the latest version. Must have sold a lot of units for them.
In the meantime I am debating whether to put it on eBay or keep it, I also have the Garmin 276c, almost new.
As you can see, I could not make up my mind which one to use, well, I finally did the AVIC-Z1.

No it does not have TSS (text to speech), will however, when you follow a route, say "turn right in quarter mile" and count down till you reach the turn off.
TSS you will find mostly in high end machines.
