Posted May 8, 200817 yr Has anyone tried the 8120 out? I am really considering it because of its seemingly endless list of functions. What other good double dins have you all tried?
May 8, 200817 yr Author Well the 8120 has Garmin navigation, built in bluetooth, a 6.95" touchscreen, and a 5.1 sound decoder. I was unhappy with my older unit because it would not play DVDs formatted in 5.1 sound. I have no intention of creating a surround environment in my car so I love the fact that the Kenwood has that feature. I am basically just looking for a user friendly unit that has a lot of capabilities. I don't necessarily HAVE to have navigation, but it is nice to have. I don't have to have the bluetooth either, but its a good function. Not to mention The Garmin and Bluetooth and 5.1 decoder cost close to 1000 together when bought as aftermarket add-ons with the Alpine and Pioneer units.
May 8, 200817 yr Author I don't know but Pioneer's new F900 looks pretty pimp.www.avic411.comThanks for the link, man.
May 8, 200817 yr Author That F900 looks sick. I like the SD card slot, but that screen is smaller than I would want and I'm looking to buy soon.
May 10, 200817 yr If you don't care about nav the DDX-812 has all the features of the 8120 minus the nav for close to $600 less.
