Default C6 - H/U recommendations please

C6 Coupe here - I'd love some help finding a new H/U to replace the crappy Bose Nav unit.

I want Bluetooth (for hands free phone), plus USB port in front, plus I'd like a real volume ****, and I'd like lots of lines of display, so that when I am searching for a folder or a song, I can see like 8 or 10 lines on the screen. Also, retaining the steering wheel controls is a must...

I am willing to sacrifice screen size in order to have a real volume ****, as I will likely NEVER watch a DVD on the new H/U. Heck I don't even care if the new unit has DVD capability, but they all seem to.

Thanks for any help, Dave F.

Check out Kenwoods receivers. They at least 3 new ones that have a rotary volume **** and awesome features. Dnn770hd, dnx690hd, dnx570hd

Be fore warned. Kenwood's customer service on warranty issues is very poor. My unit is a DNX 690 HD. If I knew how bad their service is I wouldn't have bought one.

Pioneer has a few units with a ****, but I think you have to get one at least 1 year old (the AVIC-X940BT I think is the last one)

Kenwoods warranty and customer service is one of the best as long as you buy from authorized dealers

I don't like Kenwood's UI (user interface). There's too many things I just don't understand. For instance, many of their newer H/U's have preset equalizer curves, which you are stuck with. Of course, you can always go in and adjust things like "Q Factor", whatever the heck that is.

I much prefer Pioneer.

Dennis, I left you message yesterday and am waiting for your call back to finalize my order for H/U, amp and sub.........


Thanks, Dave Fraser in Rhode Island
