[QUOTE="donpisto, post: 2885552, member: 568577"] I was kinda in the same boat as you. I was looking into the Kenwood DNX7100, Pioneer AVIC-Z2, Eclipse AVN7000, and Eclipse AVN5495. The Kenwood I didnt look much into for some reason, but the Pioneer I really liked, until I read about bypassing it which there is no complete way to do. There are backdoors so to speak, basically bypassing this unit thus far is a hassle. Also it only has a 3 band EQ. Then there is the 5495 and 7000 from Eclipse. The 7000 is a single din with a 20 GB hard drive for the maps while the 5495 is a double din with 30 GB (10 GB is for music with the Juke Box feature).
