Rob_Quads Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 They also have a much improved interface. They have been working hard to up the anti. They might not quite be up to the Alpine level of quality in terms of sound but they are not far off but IMO they have passed them in user-friendly interfaces and capability (and I love Alpine kit) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drexyl Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 To be honest, it was a toss up between the Kenwood and the new Pioneer AVIC HD3, which has the bluetooth built in and a very fancy sat nav display. The shop I bought the HU from (who also fitted) said that for the extra £££s it wasn't really worth it, even though I liked the idea of 3D maps. So I went with his advice and stuck with the Kenwood. I'm very happy with my decision, just gotta get used to the cam thing now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zedrush Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 i know i know......they are drawing me in.

N15MNO-Daron Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Ok...since installing a cheapy double din dvd player for £130..i come to the conclusion u shud never go cheap on anything again! Not only did it not fit right (wasnt even nr flush with the dash) but also the displays were ugly and poor quality! Def go for a good make like Kenwood or Pioneer.. which will set u back £350+ (depending on what extras it has). Also dont bother with digital tv option unless u got huge arial and booster...cos when ur on the move even in good signal region it will stil distort and give u headache.
