Opinions on new head unit!

hey guys i wanted to get a quick opinion. I currently have the kenwood ddx8017 headunit which has been working pretty well for me, but the cd insert/eject has started to get jammed for me. For that, i'm planning to upgrade to a new better headunit and probably sell mine for cheap (if anyone is interested). I am thinking to either go with the kenwood ddx8019 or the pioneer AVH-P6800DVD.

One thing to mention is that i DO NOT need navigation (because i have stock nav so having 2 navs is useless) and i do not use ipod either so those things are of no use for me. One thing i liked about the pioneer is the cd changer it comes with, but that has a potential to jam right? So i'm a little weary on that considering how my kenwood jammed. The kenwood ddx8019 seems nice but again im a little hesitant on using another kenwood incase it happens again. So any insight would be nice.

The P6800dvd has been great for me, i love the 6 disc changer which is a HUGE positive. I also love the pioneer interface, very easy to manuever around diff menus and screens/songs. But there are a few negatives IMO. 1) It odesnt have an ipod ready jack like many of the new HU's and doesnt have a built-in BT. The Ipod adapter and BT are seperate items you need to add on. 2) It gives you limited tuning capabilities with its 3 band eq but still sounds great. 3) the Pac swi-ps doesnt work with it, you have to use the swi-x.

If you can overlook those things, this is a great unit to have. I just love the indash changer. Wondering if pioneer is going to come out w/ a unit with all those features built in w/ their 6disc changer HU?

yea i agree switching cds is a pain and buying a cd changer seperately is expensive. Im leaning towards the pioneer at this point.
