bhp808 Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 So what are the upgrades on the new 9140 and 7140 that will make it better than the 8120? Will the new upgrades justify the wait time and price? If anyone has any info it would be greatly appreciated as i am looking to purchase very soon and want to do my research before making it final. thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CamelTowing Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 9140 won't be out for quite a while but here is some info on it http://www.kenwoodusa.com/NewsArchive/2 ... ff90ebad71 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blackh8552 Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 not sure if it's worth $2k but the 9140 looks awsome ... with voice recognition and all the new jazz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
djhuab Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 not sure if it's worth $2k but the 9140 looks awsome ... with voice recognition and all the new jazz Just wait about a year and the price will probably be have that! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CamelTowing Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 The word now is June arrival for the 9140 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CatchMeIfYouCan631 Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Looks sick. I may have to start saving Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CamelTowing Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Definitely. Hopefully Pioneer comes up with a miracle and releases a deck that can compete with it. (Otherwise Kenwood won't hack the price in half like normal ) Looks sick. I may have to start saving Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CatchMeIfYouCan631 Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Other than the Garmin nav I don't see anything remarkably different than the Z3. Hopefully the iPod interface is as fast as the F series. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skicrave Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 It will be, it's basically the 8120 on steroids. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CamelTowing Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Lots of stuff better than the Z if you read the literature. Better ipod and bluetooth, with voice recognition over those two sources. Built-in 5.1 w/ time alignment. HD Radio ready. WVGA screen. Multi color illumination. Etc. Its basically the Z1 with four years newer technology, which is exactly what Pioneer needs to release if they want to battle Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skicrave Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 This basically is the AVN headunit for the person that wants all of the features, but also cares about SQ. It's a competitor to the IVA-W505 with Imprint kit. If you don't care about that much built-in processing go with the 7140 and you'll have nearly the same feature set.
