After about more than 1/2 year with the Panasonic Strada. I think Im done with this Navigation Head Unit. I mean it works and everything. but Im looking for something new right now (I will sell this unit back out if anyone interested in it. Its almost brand new )

Pioneer AVIC-F90BT

OR

Kenwood DNX-8120

I searched(lol) and found everything I need to know about the F90BT. so far it seems that the unit has quite amount of glitches and Pioneer will come out with an Update #2 soon. but one thing that annoys me A LOT is the boot up time. if you attach everything to it, it takes like 2 minutes to boot up! If any of you have a Navi unit you will know how painful it is to wait for it to boot up. My Strada boots up in 3-4 seconds. so Im not sure if I can stand 1-2 minutes of boot up time. it does have its upside, MSN direct is nice, the movie time thing is pretty important to me(my gf, actually ). I considered about AVIC-Z3 before, but it supports only XM traffic reports (I dont listen to XM radio, so dont ask) and cost 10 bux a month. MSN direct 130 bux one time fee and I can use at least another 3 years. Plus AVIC-Z3 is the same **** as AVIC-Z1, just map updated(and other features of course), so if I get AVIC-Z3, Im buying a almost 2 yrs + old hardware with updated software for around the same price as Kenwood. so hell no.

Still Researching the Kenwood unit ATM. So far it seems the user feedbacks are pretty positive.

Any of you have any of these units in any of your car(s) ?

Thx
