Kenwood DNX9980HD or Pioneer Avic-Z130BT

What are y'alls thoughts on these 2 Indash Navigation head units? I am interested in replacing my crappy radio with something with good sound and user friendliness.

 

I love my Kenwood, cant beat the Garmin for navigation. heard a few complain aboout their Pioneers freezing on em etc...but no experience like that on mine. good luck.

 

kenwood all the way. Garmin nav is great.

 

Are y'alls units the Kenwood DNX9980HD or something else? I was leaning towards the Kenwood because of the Garmin and some of the other features like the Pandora plugin and HD radio, but didn't know if the $1500.00 price tag was worth it. I know I can get the DNX8120 or even the DNX9960 for a lot less.

 

Kenwood > Pioneer.

 

Pioneer ftw! I love mine a lot,id recommend to others. Avic x930BT pictured.

 

I've got a Z3 in my Tacoma and the Nav is horrible!! The sound quality is great but the Pioneer Nav is among the worst in car audio.

I have been eyeing the 9980 but there are a ton of complaints on the Kenwood Forum that keep me from pulling the trigger. A lot of these complaints come from the Kenwood faithful also.

Check out real feedback on the 9980 here,

Navigation: Kenwood (Garmin) > Pioneer (TeleAtlas)

Everything else: Pioneer > Kenwood
