Default GPS-Stereo suggestions?

Been looking at GPS-stereo units for the C5Z namely the Kenwood 6980 but it has quite a few bad reviews, lagging etc. Any suggestions on a unit that's NOT having any problems?

I think I am going to go with the Pioneer AVIC-X920BT and a modified bezel.

One thing I really like about the Pioneer is that you can change the color/back lighting of all the controls. So you can color match it to the Vette interior colors. So it will look stock. Not sure if the competitors can do the same thing or not. I found a good walk through on YouTube going through all the features and how it works.

Most people seem to suggest going with the Kenwood or Pioneer, but I know there are probably other good products out there.

I would suggest you do some research in the Audio forum...go to the toolbar at the top, click Forums then General Corvette then Audio/Electronics.
