as far as the nav's i think kenwood's got it right. be willing to try the pioneer one too
if i decide to use my 3100 in my G35C later on and get a nicer unit for the Z.
Display 7.0inch WQVGA
Resolution 391,680 dots (480 by 272 by 3)

Not sure how that compares to the others.

I agree basically the same features I also agree about pioneer many problems with them. I like kenwood and alpine for there quality. Eclipse has crappy graphic interface to start plus they are not as friendly as the alpine and kenwoods.

Heres my advice for a setup, I challenge and enocurage anyone to recommend a better setup for the money
Id stick with the 7140 for a source unit.
Id runa Memphis Mini Belle for amplification. It does a good amount more than rated power and it looks sexy. GO TO YOUR LOCAL DEALER FOR IT!! I bought one for an install and paid 400 out the door plus its the only way memphis honors their warranty.
16-MC5.700 - Memphis 55 x 4 / 500 x 1 Hybrid Class D Amplifier
Next Id run pioneers TS-C720prs. The midbass is phenominal and the tweeter is smooth. Look around on Car audio forums, nothing but great reviews. The T/S parameters measure better than sets that cost 3 times as much. There is no better set for that price.
TS-C720PRS - Pioneer Premier 6.75" Component Speaker System
Id Run a single 12" Image Dynamics IDQv3. The sub is very comparable to a 12w6 in output and sound quality and a dual 2 ohm will get teh most out of the amp.
IDQ12V3.D2 - Image Dynamics 12" IDQ Version 3 Dual 2 Ohm Subwoofer
For wiring Id go with an all in one kit from soundquest( its actually stinger), it has all the wiring you'll need. you just need to grab an extra set of rca's.

I have a Pioneer AVIC F Series and it’s the best system for the money. It’s better than Kenwood and Eclipse in graphics, sound and navigation especially since I upgraded to the “2009 F-series Navigation Upgrade SD-Card #CNSD-100FM”. This upgrade matches the features of the 2009 AVIC X series. The AVIC built-in amps are CEA compliant which should be a standard for all “Mobile Audio Amplifiers”. This "voluntary" standard advocates a uniform method for determining an amplifier's RMS power and signal-to-noise ratio. Using 14.4 volts, RMS watts are measured into a 4-ohm impedance load at 1 percent Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) plus noise, at a frequency range (for general purpose amplifiers) of 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. Signal-to-Noise ratio is measured in weighted absolute decibels (dBA) at a reference of 1 watt into 4 ohms.
The reviews for Pioneer are excellent. You can also read reviews on line. Amazon, CNET, AudioREVIEW, Crutchfield, etc. etc.
When money was no object, Cartronics in Santa Rosa, CA, installed a Pioneer in a customer’s Lamborghini. He could have installed anything. He used a Pioneer Head Unit.

I know just becasue people have other opinions about something you have to get all bent out of shape about it. They USE to be great now they have went down hill. There not good like they use to be.

You can quote all of the Lamborghinis and high-end vehicles all you want. I had three failures IN A ROW of the AVIC-D3 head unit, and the fourth's buttons all don't work anymore. I'm personally never going to go with them again, as I think their quality control is suspect at best. But what you do with your cars is your own business.

Pioneers Z seriess is definately top notch, Id run one over a kenwood any day however the F series is sluggish even after the firmaware update( I had one and Installed one in my girls car) This isnt even a thread about what HU to run, it seems he had his mind set on the 7140 anyway.
