Best Double DIN GPS Unit
Kenwood have come along way with their Double Din Units. The UI is much faster than previous configurations but keeps the easy to use interface and the Garmin GPS which I still think is the best out there. Sound quality is good and it is a great value for what you get.

The straight up truth from someone who knows this game.
I've had two Kenwood double din navi's. The units are reliable, easy to use, and a good buy if you're not going big on a system. Like all Kenwood head, unit's it badly suffers from second rate internal amps and general overheating. Anyone who has owned a Kenwood (and plays it for extended periods of time) knows that they can't bang it for too long. They start to distort and drown d out after an hour or two. I do a lot of highway driving so I know all too well. The 2V output is also an issue. At 2V, you're amp's are hardly being pushed, even if the volume and gains are cranked. If you're spending $800+ on a head unit then chances are you have or are buying high end amps and speakers. It's just ridiculous to have such a low output on such an expensive unit.
It's a solid unit but in my opinion Kenwood needs to ditch the 4 channel internal amp all together, make way for some more fans and up the output voltage to at least 4. 5 or 6 would be much better.
