Kenwood excelon vs pioneer avic

[Joseph Garcia]

I believe that it comes down personal choice on your head unit selection. My guess is that if you peeled back the onion layers, you'd find very similar basic electronic components in both brands.

My family has 4 Kenwood head units, and we are all happy with them. The Maestro interface units work as they are supposed to, in order to maintain steering wheel controls.

Good luck on your final head unit selection.

I have always been a Kenwood fan but I newer radio (can't remember the model number offhand) for my work car and I am not pleased. The user interface is very generic and the Android Auto always disconnects. I am not sure if the wireless is better, I have only the wired option, but it isn't the Kenwood I remember. I will likely try a different brand in the future.

When I first got the kenwood in the 04 this happened a few times. Where the wired Apple CarPlay would disconnect for no reason. I brought it back to the shop that installed it and they updated the firmware. This fixed the disconnect issue at least for me.

This is the camera I been using, have it mounted to my license light housing and I can see the trailer ball with it. And it's cheap.

I’ve seen this. It actually looks pretty good. Always wondered how it worked. You like it ? How’s the picture quality?

I'll get you some pics when I go to lunch. I bought this one a year ago, it had a push clip on it so you just drilled the hole and it snapped into it. I looks like they updated it and it has a threaded stud now which make it a tad more difficult to install but I would still rock it.

I have a Kenwood DMX906S with wireless android auto and carplay. I have never used the wireless carplay, however the wireless android auto has been great. I have never had a touchscreen Pioneer, only Kenwoods so it is hard for me to compare.
