These units were in My own Tundra and my Business partners Tundra as stated before. I personaly own 3 cars so the use on mine is minimal, And when I do use it I drive 6 miles from my house. My business partner drives 8 miles to work. So Use is minimal. There are no scratches or buttons worn off.

Wow…that’s a real tough decision to make! Can forum members help me on this?? Are you gonna try to sell me an Alpine too??

Do I feel a bit of sarcasm here... You can buy an unopened 9140 online but you will not get the warranty. I am an autorized dealer. And now a paid forum sponsor / vendor.

I am not in the market to buy one, however I appreciate your heads up..

As a Side note DNX9140 in my opinion is a better unit then the pioneer, however Pioneer at the price it is selling at is a good deal. Personaly I like the sound quality of the kenwood much better. However that is my opinion. I am sure if you look hard enough you can always find a better deal. But there is more to it then just a better deal.. Warranty, Service, people you are dealing with, Forum sponsors to be considered as they are paying to be on this forum (guilt trip always works... Just kidding)

^^ The debate between Kenwood vs. Pioneer is good for both companies. They are, right now, the best double dins unit on the US market. Competing against each other will only make both better! When it’s time to select one over the other, I agree with you, it’s a function of personal opinion! On a different note…..I enjoy beautiful New Hampshire…. love the “state liquor” stores…..save tons of money around the holidays!
