Pioneer AVIC-F900BT
« on: December 06, 2009, 08:18:34 pm »
Right at the moment its a toss up between this and the Kenwood DNX 5220BT. What are peoples thoughts on it?Are there any features that you particularly like or dislike?
Most important to me is handsfree and nav.

Sorry about the late reply.

IMHO, the Kenwood looks dated. I've never been a big Kenwood fan anyway (stereo anyway), but the F900 isn't perfect by any means.

Vers 2.0 was a marked improvement over Vers 1.0, and I'm trying to get info on the differences on Vers 3.0 - no joy so far.

Have you checked out AVIC411.com?

Despite the issues with the Pioneer, I'm pretty much 99% convinced that this is the one I'm going for. (had a LOT of coming & going on different units tbh!!)

Just need to look at the CANBUS stuff and the VSS wire installation...

HOpe this helps in some way - get some pics up!! :grin:

If you buy the canbus harness adaptor the VSS, Handbrake signal, and reverse gear signal are present and each have a female bullet conector ready to connect to... makes things so much easer  :happy2:
