I've got a DNX8120, which is a step up from the 7120. They're all good HUs. I've enjoyed mine immensely.
You might PM Nazar (at WickedCAS) to see what his $ are those units.

Nazar had a group buy at the beginning of the year on the 8120 and the 5120. I couldn't find the 5120 thread though.

Git the 7200 which is the UK version of the 7100.. Liked it better than the 5120 cause it dosnt have the **** as volume keys are on the bottom and on the steering wheel...

Bigger screen and flusher looking...

If you are looking for a unit with good USB capabilities then DO NOT get the dnx5120. I bought this device in hopes of connecting an external harddrive for movies and music and wow major FAIL.

However, this forced me to buy an ipod which is a complete turn around! I've never looked back after hooking the ipod up to this device. I don't know why I fought the apple bandwagon for so long...



Edit: I did later find out that this unit does not supply enough power to operate an external harddrive. It does well with a flash drive but you are limited to 256 folders, which includes sub folders.

I will be installing the DNX 7100 soon, hopefully this weekend. I have heard nothing but good things about it. Hopefully they are true lol. There was a big thread that talked about that unit as well.

It looks sick installed, but I like the Pioneer AVIC-D3- mainly because I'd be looking to integrate GPS and would rather have Tele Atlas maps over the Garmin GPS receiver
