Hello,
First time post. Awesome forum!
I just purchased a 2007 Yukon Denali and I am very eager to replace the head unit with something that has more to offer. I have done some research already and found two devices that I think will work. The Pioneer X940BT and the Kenwood DNX6190HD.
I already have the OEM nav unit with Bose but no rear dvd entertainment system. Perhaps in the future I will add a rear DVD/monitor or headrest monitors so a head unit that can supply video and audio back to the potential overhead display or headrest monitors, would be nice. Separate zoned video and audio to those devices would also be nice. I prefer to not listen to my kids movies while driving, but sending the audio back to them if necessary would be cool.
Initially I wanted to do the lock pick from coastal tech. I was concerned that since I do not have a DVD already in my stock nav unit that the lock pick features would not be justified against the cost. Plus I would need to install an aftermarket bluetooth kit, so after you add it up, I am better off buying a new head unit and perhaps selling my OEM nav on eBay.
Back to the question at hand, which unit is better? I have read that the Kenwood uses Garmin and has great nav, but it is hard to find a detailed review of this unit since it is new. I have read plenty of good things about the Pioneer interface but I have heard that the nav is not that good. I had a chance to see the Pioneer at Best Buy (the X930BT which is not too different).
Also, I would really like to plug in my iPhone or use bluetooth streaming and these new apps for these units are very intriguing.
I would also like real-time traffic, which unit does but which is better?
I think I prefer an actual volume know but I could be swayed away from that with enough persuasion.
Am I missing another manufacturer here? Do I need to look at another brand?
Lots of questions...
Thank you sooooo much in advance!
