I just came across this guy today

http://www.kenwood.ca/Car_Entertainment/Multimedia_Receivers/Garmin_Navigation_Solutions/DNX9960

He's exciting to me because its a 2 din in dash nav solution that hasn't cheaped out on the audio components, AND uses mainstream NAV (Garmin). Their site has lots of updates for nav maps, POIs, Bluetooth updates, etc.

Has anyone had any experience with this HU yet, or even the line? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Currently I have an Alpine IVA-w505 with the addon imprint audio processor... and I am just so sick of being in half assed unsupported proprietary land. bleh.

Thanks all!

 

I was looking into this deck a few weeks back. Just can't justify spending 2 grand on it.

 

Then let me see if I can help out the pricing at all for you. It is a top of the line in the industry kind of unit and it normally sells well over the $2K mark. The only other one to consider IMO is the Eclipse AVN726e which will save you some serious $ over the Kenwood.

 

Both wicked units - the graphics on the Kenwood surpass anything I've seen, and the Parrot BT quality on the Kenwood is great too - it's not the cheapest unit out there, nor should it be, but you do get what you pay for
