I'm looking to purchase a navigation head unit and I have narrowed it down to either the Kenwood DNX7100 or the Eclipse AVN5510. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

 

I Know it's not one of your two choices mentioned but I would check out the Panasonic CN-NVD905U Strada. I purchased the unit and I am very pleased. It's on sale at Amazon for $599 with free super saver shipping. That's a steal for any Hard drive based navigation. Check out the review on Cnet.

 

i actually have the kenwood 7100 navi and i love it. you cant go wrong with this unit. it plays everything u can think of

 

Out of those two I would say the Eclipse, its made by fujitsu ten which makes awesome products! My friend has a kenwood, looks descent picture quality isnt that great tho...

 

i have Eclipse 5510, i love it.

Eclipse avn 5510 ftw! Superior sound quality + plug and play steering wheel controls cant go wrong. Gps feature lacks slightly compared to competetors but is just fine in my opinion.

 

After having a garmin c340, I would say that EVERY in dash unit lacks in the NAV area... Garmin just has it down right. Plus the SNS really sucks when it comes to POI - they don't know 1/3 the stuff around here... I'm very disappointed with this so far....

 

Which is why the Kendwood DNX7100 kicks butt... it uses Garmin navi software and map updates!

 

u should wait for the new kenwood unit coming out in like 2 months i believe. i heard it looks really nice. im hoping on selling mine n get the new one

any offers

 

DNX7100 FTW, the nav on it blows everything else out of the water
