Hi, I need advice on picking a new HU so I signed up to this site so I could hear from the experts.
I have a 2014 Jeep Patriot. It came with a pretty basic radio - no touchscreen, nav, b/u camera, etc. it does have SiriusXM, Bluetooth, and basic steering wheel controls (volume and station up/down controls). As I researched I've "decided" on several units, only to change my mind when something else caught my eye. I thought I had finally made up my mind for good when I found the Pioneer 6000NEX. That unit, with adapters for SiriusXM and steering wheel controls, plus a back up camera, checked all my boxes for what I'm looking for, and I can get it within my budget. As I searched for the best price, however, I discovered that Pioneer announced an updated model, the 6100NEX. What I'm having trouble finding is what's different on the newer model. Anybody know? If it's not a big deal I may just wait a bit and see if the prices come down on the 6000 as the new model rolls out. Lastly, any opinions on this unit? Thanks for any and all help!
