Which would you say is the best NEX model?

8000 hands down

8000

my 7000 is a nice step from the 110 unit i had in my Forester. The 8000 is even nicer tho!

8000 have removable face?

Would be bad if the top of the line wasnt the best.

For me 4000NEX, with AVIC-U260, best for money. I can give up capacitive screen, for detachable face and remote control.

I vote 8000 but I haven't played with the others.

4000. I have waze and in the future carplay for navigation, it has the removable face for my soft top convertible, and has every feature I care about of the 8000 for a lot less.

Unless you care about built in GPS and the capacitive screen on the 8000 the 4000 is a no brainer at half the price.

4000 for me. Don't need built in gps or capacitive touch. Huge bang for the buck on the 4000.

Yep, 4000 for all above mentioned reasons.

I vote 4000.

The problem with integrated nav is that the manufacturers rape you for updates on the maps.  I have offline mapping on my phone already, I paid for it once, and the updates to the map databases are free.

Why would I buy into a $100/year requirement?

I like the capacitive screen on the 8000, but don't like the lack of IR (which isn't important now but might be for me in the future since the wired command set is rather sparse) and also like the removable face.

Idk, I got the 6000 at a great price and it says "maps for life". Did not see anything that said you had to keep buying new ones. Otherwise would have opted for a separate cheaper GPS unit.

WOW Great responses! Ive only got a chance to use my installed 4000 vs the KEH-M8200 it replaced with all the same amps and speakers and love it. Im sure all the NEX models are great. Thanks to Pioneer for making solid models with a variety of choice. Good luck to all with the NEX series. I havent been in our local BB to see if they got any NEX units in because I got mine new though eba.

I think the "HERE Maps for life" is just their slogan not that you get lifetime free map updates. You can see more info at here.com

Two more days to vote and ill tally them.

Ya know you could have started this thread as a pole right?

8000. The display is awesome. I've seen it side by side to the 4000 and 5000 locally and it's a nicer looking screen with brilliant color, and very fast responsive controls.
