Head Units Show Em!

I have had the Pioneer NAV and currently have the 8 inch Alpine. The only real difference is I can't stream movies through the Alpine like the Pioneer could. Ergonomics and Bluetooth are fine for both, NAV and sound is better in the Alpine unit IMO.
Pic #1 in Pioneer, Pic #2 is Alpine.

Does this work with sync? I'm assuming no.

Kapolani - I know you are in St. Mary's county but there is a company near Richmond that got a great reference from another owner on here. I contacted them and felt really good about what they were telling me but I have not pulled the trigger on the install. I do not have the contact info here with me right now. If you want it PM me.

Thanks man!

I may hit you up for the info if I don't go with a place more near to me.

No worries - it is a haul for me too but I wanted a company that was familiar with what our trucks can and cant do and like I said they had just finished an install for another forum member.

It does not. Pioneer has voice controls, both can utilize steering wheel controls.

only kenwoods maestro system works with sync

^^^ Yes until now only some kenwood Units paired with the iDatalink Maestro RR device will work flawless with the sync.

Love my Kenwood DNX890HD with Maestro. GARMIN navi integration is very good. XM and Pandora integration is great. Everything works perfectly with Galaxy S4.

So what are the options for a '12 with the factory NAV? I would love to rip out the OEM unit. Looks like the Maestro allows control of the HVAC controls if you have a iDatalink radio?
