The advance warning on the HUD varies with speed as do the audio warnings.And for the OP, you did know before replacing the NAV that the factory NAV also allows you to enter destinations while moving? Yes, you have to preprogram most of them but you can select from about 100 destinations (as I recall). You can always select nearest hospitals, police, and dealers while moving.
But I also agree that the ability to set a destination while moving is overrated. You're driving down the interstate and suddenly decide you want to go to a different state than you had planned? If I decide to change plans in mid-trip, I don't think stopping would be such a big inconvenience. It is far more likely that I would suddenly decide that I wanted to stop at a Chinese restaurant so where is the closest one. That information can always be done while moving using the POIs.

I have the same problem with both the 6140 in my vette and the 6160 in my Jetta. My work Blackbery connects every time but 60% of the time my iPhone will not auto connect. I think this is an iPhone issue and not a Kenwood issue. I finally gave up and just do all my calling from my work Blackberry now.

If you install the Lockpick, you can:
Modify Navigation while on the move
Additional Sound / Video Channel (IPOD)
Rear Backup camera adn Override (so you can view while driving forward)
Ive used it for over 1 yr now with no issues

But there was an actual thread here recently where the car was having an intermittant electrical problem and the dealer said it was cuased by the aftermarket nav/radio setup.
That wouldn't be enough to keep me from installing an aftermarket nav if I really wanted one, but it's something to be aware of.
