What is the best in-dash dvd/nav on the market?

[jeffrosheen]

I am currently in the market for a new head unit. I was always a big fan of Eclipse but I hear that they will not be in the aftermarket audio market anymore. I like the Pioneer 120 and the Kenwood Excellon.

Does anyone have some input or comments?

Alpine

I just installed a Scion Alpine premium HU.200 watts,touch screen,nav and xm capable,HD radio and it's plug and play.The auxiliary works witout modification.If you are interested,there is a company that makes a navigation unit that you can operate via the touchscreen, add a radar detector operated via touchscreen and it also has Wifi.The unit is also upgradable through the usb port,firmware and software .

So no one else has an opinion?

What are you looking for in the HU? I think all the units are good in their own respects. But some are better than others in different aspects.

I have a Z120BT and it's the best HU for me. I wanted all the navi, backup cam, satellite hookup, etc. But my main priority was the hookup with my iPhone. Its interface with the iPhone is second to none. I can stream my Netflix and Slingbox from my phone to my HU. The playlist and videos interface is good too. The bluetooth phone hookup works well for me but some complain of poor quality. The connection time from the time I start my car is about 15 or 20 seconds which is a little long for my taste. Some people complain about the navi too but I happen to like it. I like how the signage on the road and the sign displayed on the navi is identical. You don't have to guess if SR23 is actually Main St. I also like how if you're on an 8 line highway and you need to take a particular exit, it will display an arrow for every lane and a green arrow for which lane you need to be in to take the exit.
