ok well im looking for a upgrade in the HU department and was wondering which is better, i want both with Nav.
i dont know whether to go with the Kvt of Dnx because the dnx looks real clean in the dash but is sort of small, on the other hand the Kvt is 7 inch but im worried that the motor will break after opening and closing it many times, i just wanted to get some advice and reviews from those that have one

 

^^ The 7" screen is much better when viewing GPS maps and navigating.

I understand your point/concern about reliability with "flip screens." Kenwood is very solid here.

I have the 5120 and I love it! 7" would be awesome but I prefer to have a volume ****.

I wouldn't worry about the motorized face though.. I had a kenwood motorized single din back in the day and it lasted forever!

 

where did you buy your system?

what kind of warranty do you have on it
what do you guys think about buying one off of ebay? them seem (on average o cost like 200 less

 

^^ I have purchased electonic equipment on eBay, but almost always have encountered problems with registration, receiving software updates, and warranty for these items.

I'm no longer a big fan for this source. In the "long run," I haven't saved anything, and it fact paid more. I'm "chilled" on eBay.

When I was in college I bought all my stuff on ebay with no problems...

That being said, now that I am able to afford a 350Z, I also went ahead and bought my 5120 from an authorized dealer.

I got mine from Nazar at wickedcas.com

 

I just got the DNX 5120 installed yesterday and its awesome, the front load DVD and volume **** definetly come in handy.
