So I have 3 Navi Double Din's to choose from

[03TL_TypeS 10+ year member]

1) Pioneer F700BT- heard different things doubt im going to get it

but these other two its a toss up ive been reading reviews and some people say that navigation sucks but I want to see what you guys think and maybe give me some feedback on if you had these units or not.

The Kenwood DNX 5120 and the Eclipse AVN 5435 are the two that im stuck on. Crutchfield and sonicelectronix reviews are making me have a hard time deciding on which I want to get if anyone can inlightin (sp) me please do.

-Thanks

Eclipse for sure. After the probs ive had with my pioneer avic d2, ill never buy another pioneer headunit. never really heard anything about the kenwood, but if their hu's are anything like their amps as far as quality goes, its a safe buy too

pioneer = engine noise and touch screen failure im so sick of grounding rcas for customers

if you didnt have a bad ground to begin with you wouldnt have blown pico fuses to begin with lol. i have installed 1000's of pioneers and never had 1 blow a pico fuse ever. bad grounds are prolly why the screen failed. grounding issues cause all kinds a bad shit to happen to an otherwise solid product.

eclipse and pioneer are better than any other deck for the money period. Professional opinion not a proven fact but i sure see alot of people switching to these 2 brands the last few years. it cant be a coincidence

remeber most customers who bring in a radio funked it up puting it in there self i have not had an install come back either other than when they retune sh1t there self and the toutch screen prob was not a ground prob it was a calibration prob but i have installed sh1tty duals that the touch screen works for years

and i would buy a eclipse i have had like 3 of them there great but no pause = no bass race no burp

dual actually has some good screens. but any deck can go bad. hell it coulda been dropped or thrown at any point in its life, how many times does your shop get damaged product from shipping? i claimed nearly 10k in 1 yr a couple yrs ago cuz ups sux.

I have the eclipse CD3200 even though its not double din right now yea sucks that it doesnt have pause. and the other thing I dont like about my eclipse is how I have to turn the volume up to like 35 just to hear anything.

I like how Eclipse has the 5v pre out too
