Hate! Ugh... that unit looked perfect! No Aux Input though. buzzkill.... /sigh

 

This JVC unit has a front USB and Aux input that I initially liked very much.

You can find it much cheaper on Amazon or Sonic Electronix.

 

i searched and searched for a good unit and take my word for it try to find a pioneer Avic-700bt. I got it and had it installed for 450. People say it is a bad unit but i am in love with it. Nav is great, bluetooth is amazing, and i picked up a rear view camera, xm adapter, and ipod cord for less tha 100 on ebay so you can always add that. there is a picture in my second album it looks factory

 

Have you been able to compare it's navigation to another unit? A TomTom, Garmin, or similar?

 

Also have you updated the maps or POIs?

 

x2... I bought the F700BT about a year ago and love it also. I seen a few bad reviews too, but don't have a clue what those are about. I have to admit though, when I bought it, software version 2.0 was installed. The touch screen was a little sluggish and a couple other annoyances. I paid an extra $65 through Pioneer and upgraded to 3.0 and now it's just fantastic. 2009 maps and a better interface were included with the upgrade. I added a reverse camera with no problems at all. My son likes the Teleatlas nav that's in it better than his Garmin. I paid $450 for the unit new, installed it myself, and with all the features it has that is a bargain. No problems at all with the bluetooth software either. I don't care what anyone says about this unit... I'm very glad I made the purchase.

 

I almost hit the buy button on that Clarion.. Nice unit. I went with the JVC cus of the Ipod cables. With the clarion you would have to buy a 50 dollar ipod cable . The JVC u can use the white stock Ipod cable. but the Clarion is a nice unit.

 

I sent off a pretty long email with my requirements to the advisors at Crutchfield. Let's see what they come back with. I will post back my findings here. I am willing to bet that my needs aren't too far off from most everybody who would be looking to upgrade with a similar unit.

 

all i can say is kenwood kenwood kenwood!

 

What unit? The DNX7120 has no Aux in and no BT (have to buy a module). It does look like a good unit for me though... Really would like the Aux-In....
