I just install the DDX714 from Kenwood last night. that thing rocks. I was going to hold out for the 9140 but don't wnat to install something that expensive in my truck. The screen is so much more responsive then the avic f-series. just the general feel of the unit surpasses the f. I will admit that i was disappointed that it takes about 15 sec to boot up but i'll get over it. The kenwoods are very menu driven not quite as user friendly as the f series ipod interface, but not overly hard to deal with. so far I am very happy with this unit.

 

I am dissapointed in Pioneer. I had such high hope for the F-series. I always had pioneer in my cars growing up as a teen and this was the first unit going back to Pioneer after a series of Kenwoods. hopefully Pioneer will clean these up by the next generation.

Agreed -- i have the 6140 and 8120 and love both units -- flawless and no more than 15 second boot times --

 

F-series my a$$!!

 

i'll take cumbersome menu's in a headunit that is responsive, short boot times, and no freezing/rebooting issues ANYTIME over the f-series...

Just picked up my unit today. Had a chance to play with it in the store and it is AWESOME. The voice recognition works very well. I will be posting a detailed review as soon as I get it installed and will also be posting videos as well. Stay tuned.

Are you going to post that stuff in this thread, or in a new thread? (just so I know where to watch)...

 

Thanks,

Dave
