Hey guys so im in debate between the Kenwood DNX 6160 or the Alpine IVA-W505. The kenwood i can get it for 780$ straight up NEW which retails for about 1000-1100$ and the Alpine there is one on this forum right now for 550$ hopefully can work with that price. If anyone has any of these decks how are they lemme get a review. Thanks guys

Will the moving face on the Alpine get in the way for you? if so, the Kenwood's the way to go, however, at that price range, you should consider the Pioneer as well. It's $850 from amazon right now, and has the best iPod interface of all of them, and the guts of the X920BT are nearly identical to Pioneer's flagship unit, the Z110BT, so it's got good genes.

It's a brand-new generation unit instead of last year's model as well, so it's got a lot going for it.

 

yeah i looked this headunit up and i realy like the features of it but it seems that the pandora and musicsphere is still mia might wait alittle until i decide to go this way now.

 

is there a similar one but with a 7" screen?

 

Similar to the X920BT? Yeah, the Z110BT. *Should* be upgradeable to the Z120BT software when it comes out. Roughly expected in June.

 

I had the Alpine IVA-505 in my car last year. Keep in mind this is now an outdated model. There's now the INAW-900.(Which I now have) I had no problem with the motorized face in my coupe. What features are important to you? Keep in mind with the Alpine that everything is an add on. ( Nav, BlueTooth,) However, if you're building a system it allow you to add the Imprint processor to give you a graphic/parametric eq, crossover adjustment, and time correction.
