When you compare these are you comparing picture or navi or what? If it's picture I think the kenwood would be ahead of the pioneer, and if navi the kenwood navi system is better than both pioneer and eclipse. Just features though you have them in the right order.


Back on subject the if you want to fit a double din player in perfect a have it look stock. Get the 2000-01 GXE dash kit it fits perfect and has a double din.

The Eclipse is the top of the line, period. No other company can really compare to the quality of Eclipse. While the others are good choices, there are better choices.

..And no, I dont think he was comparing them based on the Nav feature, its just thats the only screen shot you can get of most double-din screens.

Do you have Facts to back up these statements? You are actually quite wrong. Hence the reason for Toyota/Lexus signing a long term contract with Eclipse for their OEM Navi units after contemplating about the three among others.

While I was stating my opinion based on seeing these in person. But I did just seeing the eclipse navi just this weekend and thought that kenwood was a little better as far as updates within the city. But I'll be the first to admit when I'm wrong and it seems this is the time..
