Pioneer vs Kenwood
I'm new to the audio/electronics portion of the corvette forum, so forgive me if this topic has been previously discussed. I'm about to purchase an 09 C6 with the Bose 6 disc changer. I would like to have a nav unit installed with backup camera. Any consensus out there as to which unit is the best, Pioneer AVICZ730B OR Kenwood DNX9140. Appreciate any insights into this, thanks in advance

The top end units are generally a wash, but the Kenwood Nav interface is considered a bit better. I have the Pioneer x920BT and I love the way I can have it pull an exact destination off my iPhone contacts (with the AVIC Feeds app) so I don't have to go through the search process in the car.
