I have been researching the indash navigation systems for about 2 months.

I have it narrowed down to Kenwood, Alpine 505 with new NPE1 Nav/bluetooth, or Pioneer 90 BT.

The Kenwood 8120 is most expensive but has best navigation (GARMIN), and has a 7 inch screen.

The Alpine W505 has a 7 inch screen and better DVD resolution. About the same price as Pioneer 90BT. May work best with Iphone 3G?

The Pioneer 90BT has smaller screen but only unit with some voice commands(not sure how well they work), and MSN capable (do not know much about that either).

Each Reseller says theirs is the best.

I do not want to make a $1600 mistake.

Any recommendations and why?

 

Thank You

David

This is exactly what I did.

 

I really wanted the Kenwood 8120, but I couldn't justify the additional expense. I think $640 for all of the features the F90BT has is well worth it - a steal, in fact! :D
