Default Navi System for C6

I have a new 2012 C6 Coupe & looking to add a good navi system to it. Some features I'd like along with the navi are bluetooth, XM, DVD palyback, stream music wirelessly, & rear view cam. Does anyone have any suggestions on a good unit?

Here is all the new Kenwood units
http://shop.doubledmods.com/C6-Corve...ages_c1162.htm

We will be shipping some of them at the end of this month

I would highly suggest the Kenwood for the NAV as its Garmin based

Call me if you want to discuss all your options for radios and whats involved

VERY pleased with my Clarion NX 702. Full functionality compared to all the others out there. Touch screen, BT audio/phone, memory stick, and SD stick capability. Check it out.

Thanks guys! I'll look around some. I was told Kenwood units have the better navi in them since they use Garmin.

So do these installs alter the speed sensitive stereo volume or any other standard features?

Yeah. You can say goodbye to speed sensitive volume. Cool feature, but not worth the trade-off. My Clarion install also stopped the internal beeps such as when hitting the manual door lock from the inside (the remote control lock when outside the car still results in a honk, though). But it may be due to how it was installed. Doesn't seem to bother me...much.

I saw your post about the new Kenwoods...and am very excited about the new features using mobile wi-fi! I am very happy with my Kenwood I got from you 2 years ago and the Garmin app is the best in my opinion.

Going to get a updated Kenwood in the near future Dennis!

I can not wait to get the 990HD in my Grand Sport

I have messed with this radio 2 months ago at SEMA and was amazed how cool it is and actually did a Google search on the radio when I was connected to my phone as a hotspot.

DoubleD, do you know what the price will be on the new Pioneer Z150s?

I have a Kenwood headunit (DDX-514) and added the navigation module (KNA-G510) in my car now and I'm not super happy with it. I miss the AVICs.

The Kenwood is over 4 years old and yes it was not the best
The new Kenwoods are 100 times better

The Pioneer Packages will be roughly until I get my exact cost
radio, harness, dash kit, antenna adapter
Z150BH 1200.00
950BH 950.00
850BT 850.00

DD Mods is the only way to go!

I've had pioneer avics in 2 vettes. I've liked them both OK. The current is a Z140BH and it's OK, I like the appradio that lets me connect to pandora on my phone and navigate from the nav unit.

the downside being both cars had an annoying hum/buzz no one could ever figure out, and the door chimes and stuff always get a little weird sometimes I guess.

Sounds like there's some really cool stuff on the horizon so I'd maybe wait a few months. See what comes out.

I have the Clarion NX702 and am very pleased with it. It has all the features of the Pioneer (except for being able to do Facebook and other iPhone apps other than Pandora and audio BT streaming), at much less cost. Very cool graphics, with all multimedia for music, video, and podcasts.
Check it out: http://www.clarion.com/us/en/product...655065203.html

Click down the 5th grey bar that shows the GPS navigation. High Def images of the freeway that I think are crisper than what I see on the Pioneer website. If you click on "larger image," it's pretty cool.

I have no dog in the race and am not representing anyone. I kinda got it for free, as well, but I'm thinking I would've still bought it if I was paying. It replaced my 06 GM nav which is horrid compared to the new stuff. The ONLY thing I miss from the older generation is *****! Give me a volume **** any day over these touch screen things!!
