2012 Kenwood HU

Just my .02 I would hold off until it comes out. These last kenwood models were very buggy and slow, the last thing you want is another model like it.

Yes they were buggy, but they were very reasonable with putting out updates for the 9960 in a timely maner. I love the radio, just wish the processor was faster. If they fix that main issue... I'M SOLD!

Very true. I have a DNX6960 and suffer the random iPod lock/crash issues. Hopefully the update addresses that. If not, I am looking into a Pioneer AVIC-Z130BT or AVIC-Z140BH as a replacement.

Again, I may just replace mine with a Pioneer unit and put my DNX6960 in my girl's Tahoe (if she will allow me to, lol).
