Headunit Research - Recommendations Please

All the units will work for you. I recommend kenwood because of how well they are and what you get for them.

My Pioneer avic-x920bt was put in tonight and I am more than pleased!

So far it has blown me away...

I will post pics and a review tomorrow or the next day...

The Pandora Link is awesome... It runs the Pandora interface right through your HU with the special Pandora Link for Pioneer App on my iPhone... Im pretty sure you can get the Pandora Link app on other phones as well. Video's through my iphone 3gs all load and play perfect. And with the pioneer cable my phone also charges just fine.


The nav , for the little I used it, seemed good, I would imagine maybe the garmin interface on kenwood may be a bit easier, But it seems like it will function just fine and seemed very accurate. I used the same Rear Camera as AK, in same spot, and it works perfect. Same eBay camera. The quality of the sound is also greatly improved with great EQ functions..

I do not have sirius or MSN Direct ( for traffic, weather, movies ) connected but I plan to do so in the future.

But it seems like a very nice head unit.

Looking forward to the pictures and the reviews as I'm getting the Z120BT installed on Saturday.

For what it's worth to the OP, I was going to buy a Kenwood unit but after seeing the interface of the Pioneer I went with them. The Kenwood UI looked old and very cluttered whereas the Pioneer did not. I also really liked the iPod interface on the Pioneer than on the Kenwood. My issues were more personal preference rather than technical.
