Hi,

I'm thinking of changing my sav nav in my 54 reg Ibiza cupra. Been looking at the Pioneer F900 & the Kenwood DNX-8220BT.

Has anyone installed either of these and do you have any comments?

Thanks!

I haven't got either but im getting the pioneer AVIC-D3 very soon, if you're interested in that at all I'll give some info on that. the best model in that range is the AVIC-D3 BTi (http://www.caraudiocentre.co.uk/product_m-pioneer-avic-d3bti_p-22611.htm)

Thanks BigWill, I've had a demo of the Pioneer and the Kenwood, prefer the Kenwood just because the pioneer F900 was so slow to turn on. Just let me know how you get on otherwise I'll be rushing out and getting the Kenwood :-)

Hey Gus, yeah Alpine is a bit pricy once you add all the extras.

But you are right Alpine stuff is the Danglies!

Going to have a play with the Kenwood 8220bt on Thursday and if it fits the budget and if it's quicker than the Pioneer...might make a purchase.

BTW the pioneer looks nice in your Ibiza BigWill!

Perfectly happy with what i got though, love watching the voltmeter fall down when the big bass hits :D
