I've read consumer reviews on the Kenwood that aren't very favorable, more so than the AVIC. The last thing I want to do is to drop a lot of cash on an HU that will **** me off as I start getting familiar with it.
I haven't seen many other options for this type of HU aside from second and third tier manufacturers.

you can get the added navigation option, works same as the blackbird but not nearly as expensive

(that's 279.99 cdn)
I used to work at gibby's I left cuz the owner is a douche, but he almost always has the lowest prices listed online on ANYTHING from TVs to blu-ray players, everything. I severely disliked him but his prices are damn good.

What attracts me to the Alpine over the others is the user interface for iPod integration. Also that it displays color screens, which the older W205 did not and also does the album artwork

Is there an external GPS antenna that needs to be roof mounted? Do GPS antennaes need to be roof mounted? If not, where have you placed them in the past?

You are happy with the SQ? I've read a few reviews online from self proclaimed "audiophiles" that report otherwise. It would be nice if I could walk into a stereo shop and actually have them demo the unit but there doesn't seem to be any shops around that actually have one setup for a display. All I can go off are pics and reviews ![Mad](https://g35driver.com/forums/images/smilies/mad.gif)

Sure its not an extreme SQ unit such as the Denon Z1 or Alpine F1 stuff but It is a great unit with time alignment and dual 13 band EQ built in
