Best NAV headunit? - Page 2

EvoVIIIYou · 08-10-2008, 02:02 PM

I'm in the market as well. The slow start-up is really making me sway from the Pioneer. Also, I want to get a finish similar to the OEM gray if at all possible.

The black looks good but I want a real stock look.

Anyone know anything with this kind of finish?

Here is what I've been looking at...most have been mentioned.

Clarion MAX685BT

Kenwood Excelon DNX-8120

Pinoneer AVIC-F700BT

You might as well go with the Avic F900BT.......It's only a min for the NAV, I think the rest boots up much quicker than that.

oh ok so its just the nav that takes a minute or two? I was concerned the entire system took that long to boot up.

How does it match the dash?

Something else to keep in mind...if you are running amps you should get a unit with high volt preouts. The Pioneers all have 2V unless you get the F90BT which has 4V. The Kenwood 8120 has 5V.

The difference from 4V to 5V is negligible, but 2V to 4V will make a big difference.

I believe it's black. Haven't got mine yet, so I can't tell for sure.

If you google it and go to pictures, it should show up.

$809 on Amazon.
