Woot, DNX9140 has been delivered, install thread:
Got a new DD head unit from the Kenwood Excelon line, DNX9140 with nav and all the goodies(bluetooth, album art, DVD playback, 5.1 support, 13 channel EQ, etc.), JDM DD bezel kit, satellite radio (SIRIUS), backup camera, ipod cable (still in the mail), adapters and lits of wires
Unfortunately they would only deliver to a registered address for my debit card, so all of it but the sirius stuff and DD kit are at home in KC. Ill take pics when i get it in the car toward the end of next week! CANT WAIT!!!
I'm so jealous, excellent choice on the Navi unit!!! I can't wait to save up enough to get mine!!
Post pics of how everything goes and your impressions of the unit, enjoy

After seeing the way the voice control works on the Kenwood, I still prefer the Pioneer units, especially since you can pick up a Z110BT on amazon for $999 right now.
Having to look at the screen and say stuff like "Line 1", "Line 3" to get it to play the music just seems so reminiscent of old phone menus to me. I'd much rather say "Play artist Green Day" in a single command, without looking at the screen once.
However, I will say, the Kenwood may have a leg up on the Pioneer with regards to navigation.

also i got mine from a certified vendor of kenwood, no ebay or amazing crap where the warranty is no good.
pioneer sucks. my pico fuse blew in mine..200 to repair it. ive been a pioneer fan all my life until now. the navi sux on it as well. sometimes it will take you in circles before you get to your destination. that kenwood is the ****. If i didnt just drop a few k on a tru tech billet 6 amp id be all over it.

u made the right move. Pioneer may be hands down the worst double din navi out there. I have a D3, and im telling you..the navi sucks. The pico fuse issue has been a thing for years..no repair. Id rather say line 1 or 3 than have have a navi take me in a three hour circle rather than a 45 min straight line. Pioneer should just stick to making awesome TVS since they have made any noise in car audio since the p1R

let me know what you think, to me the voice control was the deal breaker on that one, did you look at the DDX814?
