I am in the market for a new navigation receiver. I am looking the Kenwood excelon dnx891hd or the pioneer avic7000nex. The Kenwood has 4 1/2 stars, 5 volt preamp outputs, the pioneer has 5 stars and 4 volt preamp outputs. Which one is better? Any help would be appreciated.

Im looking at the same ones, plus the pioneer 8000. Im installing them in a yukon xl denali, so dual zone (rear) is important. Would love to hear others opinions...

I was actually looking at the Pionneers a while back, not sure if they changed them or not.
but what I didn't like was that they didn't use a capacitive screen on them. Looks like you need to go to the 8000 for that.
For a 1200 unit, it should have a better screen.

I broke down and got a Kenwood excelon dnx691hd. Installed it in my 2008 dodge grand caravan sxt 4.0 minivan. Everything works great on it. I like the new streamlined GUI, I don't use the HDMI/mhl input. I love the new nav GUI, it 100% easier to use. I would recommend the excelon dnx691hd. Even the startup time is faster than the previous Kenwood excelon units.
