Best in-dash touch screen GPS/receiver?
Best in-dash touch screen GPS/receiver?
I am shopping around for a new in dash GPS/receiver that works with an iPhone. Please share with me your opinion on which is the best one.
I put a Kenwood DNX8120 in mine. Works great but its a little dated now. The Excelon uses Garmin GPS and has great functionality. DVD player, GPS, Bluetooth, touch screen....satellite radio ready, USB and iPod inputs (need to buy cables though)

Otherwise, it's a great unit. Took me a little bit to get the EQ just right, but now that I have, I love it!

Only downside I have discovered is that with a black on black car the unit get very hot, very quickly and if I have it turned up too loud will reboot it self due too heat. Only happens when the car has been sitting in the Arizona sun for a while. I am looking at ways to get some more air flow in there though.
If you run it with some separate amps for the speakers though I would suspect that you wouldn't have that problem.
Overall I am very happy with it though.
I have installed the KW-NT3HD, not sure if there is any difference between mine and the 30HD, but I love it. Does navigation pretty well, bluetooth works great, has all the features I was looking for and it sounds a heck of a log better even with the stock shaker 500 system in the car.
