Well, it's tax refund time again and that means something new for the truck. This time I've decided to upgrade my JVC HU to an in-dash GPS unit.
I am looking for any opinions, suggestions, recommendations, horror stories that anyone may have in hopes of maybe finding something that I didn't know was available or learning something new and also hearing from people who have these.
So here's what I need:
Bluetooth. Would prefer it to be built in. This is a must and will be used on a daily basis.
POI's. More the merrier. Not a daily thing but I find myself searching the given area that I'm in for a lot of things with my handheld much more than I expected. Especially on long trips.
And what I want but don't HAVE TO have:
HD radio. Wouldn't mind it. But again, would prefer it to be built in.
Voice activated Control. Would be nice with the bluetooth, but I can deal without it.
Searching the forum I see that a lot of people like the Pioneer units. Me too. While researching these things I seem to keep coming back to them. I've also been looking at these:
Kenwood - DNX6140
Never had a Kenwood HU before but I'm currently running Kenwood speakers front and back and use a Kenwood amp for the sub and am having good luck with them.
JVC KW-NT1 Navigation receiver at Crutchfield Signature
Have had quite a few JVC HU's and have always had good luck with them.
So what does everyone think. All comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks.
