Alpine and Kenwood, followed by Pioneer, would by my top 3 choices.

Alpine INA-W900 head unit
Alpine HCE-C117D back up cam

how about the Pioneer AVIC-X930BT??

brianryan8 01-16-2012 01:18 AM

any specific model ?

I just agonized over this decision. I wanted the Kenwood because of Garmin Navigation, but I went down and played with the units, and the lag would have driven me nuts. Decided on the Alpine INA-W910BT. Lightning fast response, clean, easy interface. Excellent audio...

How about the pioneer? I saw the alpine on YouTube. Seems to have not much of an attractive interface and the price on amazon is more expensive. $700 +

That may be, but it is FAST very very fast compared to the other brands.

I would take alpine over kenwood and kenwood over pioneer.

Thinking about it, Thea lag would be a big issue. Would I be able to hook up to my wheel buttons?

Played with the Pioneer too. Absolutely did not like it. That's just my personal opinion...

My installer is hooking up my Alpine W910 to my steering wheel controls with the Metra Axxess harness

I am gonna wait untill April for the updated kenwoods to be out as I like the interface best. The supposedly changed the prosessors so make it much faster( apparently its at least 3 times faster).

Was thinking of buying the Pioneer AVH-P4300DVD 7" In-Dash Double-DIN player. Looks great! With a good price below 400
