Which In-Dash GPS should I get?
Looking for an In-Dash GPS for my Highlander. Which one would you guys recommend? I have heard really good things about the AVIC-D3 but it seems like Pioneer has introduced AVIC-F900BT to replace it. Thanks.

The new F series that Pioneer came out with had a ton of software problems. So if you plan on getting the 900 make sure you get a newer one that has the 2.0 update that comes with it or that is already installed on it.
Only bad things I've really seen out of it is it is a little slow on the boot up. Be prepared to wait about 30 seconds before you can listen to anything. If you really want some good info on any Pioneer AVIC model. Check out www.AVIC411.com

Never messed to much with the Eclipse's but the only thing I like about Kenwood is that they partnered with Garmin for the nav. Other then that, I really am not a big fan of Kenwoods. Go Pioneer and I'd go old school with a D3 or a Z2.

I had the Eclipse AVN5500, and loved it, probably the hardest decision about getting the S was the lack of a place to put it. Now Im considering paying someone to cut into my dash so I can have it back... It had great sound quality and good signal for sending to an amp.

I love garmin nav.
I played with kenwood for a bit in the store and the whole software navigation in kenwood seemed to have been reworked by garmin as it is 1000000000X better than before. Button are large, clear text.
