Is this a good head unit? It's on sale today at Amazon.com

Kenwood DNX5120 6.1-Inch-Wide Double-DIN In-Dash Navigation with USB/iPod Direct Control/DVD Receiver

Any opinions? Anyone have it?

 

I dont have this exact model but I have the 8019 in my G35 and Im happy with it. The GPS is made by garmin and is very easy to use. I was thinking about going with another Kenwood unit in the Fit but decided to be different and went with the Alpine.

 

Were there any drawbacks to it? I've got to see some of these in person. I've only seen the Pioneer one at Best Buy about a month ago...

 

You know what, this was my first choice of a headunit before the AVIC-F90BT came out. I loved this because it had a rotary knob for a volume (i HATE button volume controls) and it's navi was controlled by garmin. It has a fast startup time and it's navigation is dead on (i was playing with it at local stores for hours because i was soooo close to getting it). The interface is super easy to use, the buttons can be changed hundreds of colors, and there are soo many options to add to the unit to make it even cooler.

The cons? the options that make the unit cooler are exactly that, OPTIONS and they DO add up. Like the F90BT by pioneer comes with ipod control and bluetooth built in.... the 5120 are options that come in at $200 extra. If u don't really need to use the ipod dock style connector and can live with the AUX plug on the headunit and u don't really need bluetooth in the car, i'd say GO FOR THIS UNIT!!!!

 

Just picked one of these up, hell of a deal it seems. What's the better kit for the 2008 Fit? Best sponsor to buy from?

Thanks

 

Can anyone hook me up with a DIY guide or a list of the kits/adapters/harness etc. I'll need to install this? I'm not installing any of the optional accessories, just what comes with it and obviously I'd like the radio to work as well as DVD player while driving for my passengers.

Thanks
