[QUOTE="Vailen, post: 8445083, member: 667891"] Hello everyone. I am looking to upgrade my stock radio in my 2012 Volkswagon Beetle (double din; without Fender Audio) to a better system. I have narrowed my search to two possibilities: Kenwood DNN592 Pioneer AVIC-8100NEX Both have good reviews on various forums. However, I was hoping to have feedback from people on this forum. Does anyone have experience with either of these head units? Also, I am open to other possibilities I may have overlooked. My budget for the head unit is $1500. I could go a little higher if someone recommends a head unit that is truly exceptional. (All other accessories like speakers, pre-amp, etc., will happen at a later time. For now I will be using stock speakers.) My primary use for this system will be as follows (in order of priority): (1) GPS navigation with traffic alerts and route change calculations, etc. The more sophisticated the better. (2) HD Radio (3) SiriusXM radio compatibility (I plan on buying the tuner) (4) iPhone wireless integration for both voice calls and music (e.g., Bluetooth) (5) Backup camera option (6) Steering wheel mounted controls (7) Additional camera options like side cameras for lane changing (very low priority and can do without if not available). Your assistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
