Which double-din indash has nicest interface?
Looking to spend my tax return on a new double din indash unit. At first glance, I'm not very impressed with the way the user interface looks on many of the new units.. I used to have a Kenwood DDX-7015 in my old F150, and was hoping that the interface on my next indash unit would look much more "modern"
My brand preferences are Kenwood or Alpine, but I'm open to any quality made unit that looks good. Any input?

I agree, but I am looking at a Pioneer Avic-Z110BT, I want to add Bluetooth and a rearview camera.

I have the Jvc Avx-820 in my Expy. The functionalty is pretty easy to operate. Just a tiny bit slow for me
looks pretty nice. Just not the smartest HU in the world. But the sound/video is 100% better than stock. My Expy sounds like it has a system installed now

woot! new Kenwood
Well I think I've found the answer to my questions.. Kenwood is supposed to release the DDX896 this month, but I don't see it for sale anywhere yet. Going to do a little more research, but I'm almost certain this will be the one
The Kenwood Excelon DDX896 double-DIN DVD receiver features “Dynamic 3-D Transition Effects (FXUI™ Technology)” GUI, source icon customization, high resolution video, built-in Parrot Bluetooth and upgraded audio features just like the DNX9960 with the exception of Garmin navigation and voice commands. A 6.95” WVGA touch screen with Dynamic Brightness Control delivers exceptional video performance, perfect for when the user searches iPod content by scrolling by album artwork (similar to iPhone). The DDX896 can also decode MPEG4 and AVC/H.264 and WMV video files from an external USB drive. The optional KNA-G610 ($600.00 suggested retail price) is a hideaway module for those customers who wish to add Garmin navigation to the DDX896 at a later time.
