The latest Crutchfield catalog offers the DDX7019 for $999 and a package with the KNA-G510 for another $100.

The 8120 is the Excellon Nav model with 2 year warranty, Built-in Parrot Blutooth and 5v pre out over the 7120.

the improvements are the button layout and interface in genearal are more intuitive.
If you just need ipod and good sound but no nav. check out the DDx-812. It has all of the features of the 8120 without the NAV. (I'll add it to the list in my first post)
hope this helps

We received our DNX5120's last week so I had a few days to play with it. Very nice unit. Pretty much identical to the D3. I have them displayed next to each other and people cant tell the difference.

I'm in the market for one, and I was going to order one online, but since your profile says that you're in San Francisco, I could drive up and get one. Send me a PM if you'd like a potential customer.

I'm making a joke, but the fact remains that the MSRP is $400 higher than the D3 is selling for. I know it's not fair to compare MSRP, but what is street? I'm going to get a double DIN nav system, and the D-3 was the top of my list. I'd prefer the Garmin nav, but $400 is a heck of a difference in price...
