im stuck between the eclipse avn 6620, the pioneer f90bt and the kenwood DNX8120


i know the kenwood is probably the best but i dont know if it justifies the extra $300

if you know of something different then im all ears

 

I can't speak for the others, but I've got the 8120 and I love it. Got it from Nazar at WickedCAS (sponsor on here).

 

I would stay away from pioneer. these new f series are nothing but empty promises. Search Pioneer forum and read people's opinions.
you can go to www.live.com and get some cashback to save few bucks for whichever product you want to get..

 

All the devices you mention are good units. If the GPS feature is important to you, I would go with the DNX8120 since it provides better performance (faster screen-redraws and guidance).

We sell the Eclipse's at work and I've installed a royal *** load in our own vehicles and customer's vehicles, no complaints what so ever about them. Very happy with their features!

 

^^ How do you rate GPS performance between Kenwood and Eclipse?

Is either one faster than the other (redraws, routing and “re-routing,” etc.)?

I have the eclipse navi unit 5435 installed in my lexus for over 3 yrs now.I ve updated it once with the new software disk and its never let me down..
ITs a great system the navi and software is very user friendly. Eclipse software is the same that come on Stock Lexus Navi systems...

 

^^ I agree that Eclipse makes a very good GPS device. My point was that the Garmin-based Kenwood devices provide noticeably better performance.

I can't speak to the others, but considering that I get lost when I go to the bathroom and Garmin got me from Kentucky to North Carolina and back without a hitch, I'm kind of partial to Garmin.

 

Kenwood DNX8120

Oh... and I got mine for 800 bucks!

 

Nothing personal. But I hate you. 800. Dang.
