Amazon or sonic are two locations I would buy from.

I agree with all choices there except pioneer.

OP there have been threads made asking your same question.

Just take a look at precious conversations. I have had bad luck with them and so have customers as well as others. Others will say there are no problems with them but from what I have seen they don't last that long.

Take Kenchans advice, and do your own research. Trust the masses,Strength in numbers, read reviews before purchase.
Big, please, even a JVC before a pioneer?? ridiculous. MHO
Research on crutchfield, but better prices are easy to come by.

JVC recently bought out kenwood recently so yes they are a rock solid product. OP if you look at other threads previous owners have chimed in with their problems with pioneer. Hence partly why I am against them.

I have the dnx690hd with nav. It looks just like yours. Does yours jam up like a computer freeze sometimes?

no issues with my pioneers (4units and counting). been running them along side alpine and kenwoods, even jvc over the years. no issue.

not sure why Big keeps having issues with pioneers. check amazon for the reviews as well, not just based on one installer's comments.
