head unit

I recently installed the Pioneer Avic Z120BT in my Z and am loving it so far. It's very similar to the Z130BT and comes at a way cheaper price.

Are the AVIC models good? Lots of negative press in the comments on crutchfield especially on the latest models. I'm considering the AVH-P4300DVD. Any benefits in going with the AVICs other than nav/bt?

i got the AVIC X930BT installed in my Z about a week ago and its great so far. Easy to use, selection is simple, dvd's look great. Controls my complete audio system well, 2 front components, 2 rear coaxials and 2 subs, all amped of course. I got it from an eBay store brand new for just under $600 shipped. dynamicautosound i believe the store name was. I've also had a Pioneer Premier single dinn deck in my old jeep for almost the last 6 years now and its still running great and strong!

The Z120 and Z130 are pretty close in price still as are the X920 and X930, i think the X models are just fine for a complete audio set up and if you dont mind giving up a little bit of screen, then save some cash if your going with the Pioneers.

just my thoughts and experience so far

For me, the Kenwoods are the only ones I'll consider because of the Garmin Nav. Other than that, I've heard a lot of good things about the Alpines.

Where did you get the faceplace that surrounds the head unit and HVAC?

Any recommendations for replacing Nav/Bose head unit was looking at ilx-700 Alpine. Need something to replace touch screen area looking for CarPlay integration
