Re: kenwood or pioneer?
First thing I like about the Pioneer is the USB slot.
First thing I like about the Kenwood is the larger screen.
Second thing I like about the Pioneer is the price of the 700BT vs the Kenwood 5120
Second thing I like about the Kenwood is .... I can't find one.
Also, if you are willing to spend $500+ for the Kenwood I'd suggest getting the Pioneer 900BT -they can snagged on ebay (NEW) for within $25 of the Kenwood 5120 and the 900BT has a LOT more features.

Re: kenwood or pioneer?
i have several pioneer single din units and i will tell you this the 3 band parametric Eq is much better then alot of higher priced models available it is very customizable also my pioneer in my truck is going on 5 years old or so and i have used the crap out of it and it still works perfect

Re: kenwood or pioneer?
I've always bought Pioneer decks when I upgrade. I've never owned a Kenwood, but I hear they're good. My personal preference still says Pioneer.

Re: kenwood or pioneer?
I prefer pioneer, if you are gonna get the pioneer get the 900bt, the 700bt does not play dvd. I have owned maybe 6 pioneer head units and only had problems with one but i love the parametrice eq.

96 SE Pioneer AVHP5700 head unit(ipod connection) new are intake, clear corners, new foglights. HID head lights (Soon to have new rims) as soon as it gets warm enough.
