I have been looking at the pioneer 900bt. Do any of you have the factory steering wheel radio controls? Did you lose any functionality of them with the aftermarket Nav/radios install?

Check out Kenwood DNX8120. I'm not sure about speed cameras, or mp3 from SD, but everything else meets criteria. Excellent iPod interface, perhaps the fastest one out there, plays all video formats I've thrown at it including Divxx. XM and Sirius capable with the proper adapter, Hd radio, tv with the adapter

I have the Pioneer AVIC F700BT in both the Excursion and the F-250. There's no DVD player, but it will play vids off an iPod or from the SD card.
I didn't figure I'd need the DVD player, so I got the 700. Functionality is great- check them out.
Great units.

The low down on the Kenwood 5120: Garmin GPS (!), DVD (playable while driving, plays all DVDs...even my home videos I created), Sirius/XM capable, Bluetooth handsfree capable, iPod interface, USB, an 1/8" audio/video input on face plate, capable of keeping steering wheel controls w/ PAC interface, switch faceplate colors at push of button), a rear-mounted camera that turns on automatically when you reverse (or can view at push of button). Head unit sounds great. The interfaces of peripherals all work well. Great unit. easy installation into my 2007 F-250

What I like about the Pioneer AVIC F-series is that everything mentioned about the Kenwood DNX series (nav/bluetooth/ipod/usb) except for Sirius/XM and HD radio is built into the headunit, so connectivity is maximized from the factory.

I've got the Pioneer AVIC F-700bt and love it. It's very easy to use and i've only experienced two bugs so far, one time the unit restarted itself on its own and then one time my ipod didn't connect. Those have only happened one time each and I have no other probelms with the unit. It does not play dvds, but the f900 and the f90 do, which are basically the same thing other than they play dvds.

I knew that they could be played from an Ipod, but I didn't know you could play them from a SD card. Thanks for the info.
