[Choice] Kenwood Excelon dnx9980hd or Pioneer AVIC Z130BT?
I'm looking for a new HU and my choices so far are the Kenwood Excelon dnx9980hd and the Pioneer AVIC Z130BT.
I like the specs on both of them but I really like that the Kenwood uses Garmin GPS software. Although navigation is not my primary criteria. Anyone who is familiar with both units, do you have any pro's and con's of each HU? Please be specific too. Thanks. :rock: |
I believe the best way I've seen it put.....
Kenwood is great Nav with good iPod Pioneer is good Nav with great iPod |

Neither
wait for the Kenwood 9990HD This is going to be awesome. The new KEnwoods are going to be 3 times faster this year and you will love it. The Pioneer units I will have info on next week when we get back from CES |
Go with Dennis (c5BearsFan) he won't steer you wrong, also Mark said it correctly. I have a Pioneer Z120 and love it. Don't think you can go wrong with either unit.

Can't speak for the Avic, but my Kenwood 9940 radio reception is lacking. Have had Pioneer in the past (1990) and the radio reception was good. Might be the vette antenna though.

:D When you get more info on what the "forum" pricing will be, and info on the new Pioneer units after CES, shoot me a PM. I'm in the market for some new tunes. I might also want to get on board with some Focal components, too... depends on what direction I want to go with it down the road. :thumbs: |
I've always been drawn to Kenwood because of the Garmin GPS. :thumbs:

One thing really confuses me....with the 9990HD.....which harness retains all of your stock features. The car is a 08 convertible with navigation, bose, and I use the onstar all the time. Does it matter with heads up display (it currently shows some navigation and cd info)?
