 Feature Galore! July 12, 2009

I must agree with others who say this device is complicated, but several readings of the manual and some fiddling bring you tremendously good results! I added a rear-view camera, XM radio, a 5-channel alpine amplifier, 10" Alpine subwoofer and infinity 3-way speakers and WOW! What a sound!. The unit has superb voice contrlol and amazingly diverse sound controls. I can play files from a USB hard drive and my iphone/ipod, including music videos. The video on the 7" screen is awesome! The Garmin software is wonderful - I have three other Garmin untis so it was very easy for me to master. The only glitch I have had is that my ipod loses connectivity sometimes. I still don't know why, but a simple cable reconnect fixes it. I also love to have video podcasts on in the car.
DEFINITELY worth the money! August 30, 2009

Before getting the 9140, I had a Kenwood KVT-910. I have to say, Kenwood has outdone itself yet again. It's not perfect, but no unit will be. There are pluses and minuses to all the units out there. If you are searching for the perfect one, then you will be searching for a long time. I don't have anything bad to say about Pioneer (or any other Navigation HU out there), but all I know is that I am completely satisfied with the DNX-9140.
Here are some pros and cons.
PROS:
1) Excellent DVD picture
2) Garmin navigation
3) Voice-control is very accurate.
4) Tons of features. I probably won't use 1/2 of them, but it's good to know that they're there if I do want to.
5) Multi-angle tilt comes in handy.
6) Touchscreen is very responsive
7) Can easily hook up to headrest units in the back seat (I got the Vizualogic Roadtrip and it works great)
CONS:
1) More expensive than other in-dash DVD/Navigation headunits out there.
2) User interface does take time to get used to and learn
3) My biggest gripe: Can only hook up 1 item from Sirius, XM, and HD Radio. It's bad enough that we have to buy extra modules to use these features, but only being able to hook up one when the 8120 can hook up more?!?! Fail!
Exceptional sound & nav, difficult to learn functionality December 22, 2009

Sound quality exceeds expectations!
Navigation is above average - voice commands that work!
All the navigation options AND GPS SETTINGS can be set by voice command! The accuracy of voice command interface is very good.
In fact, all the settings for source monitoring (tuner, DVD, iPod etc) can be accessed by voice and many settings applied the same way.
As an example: changing map view from 3d to "north up" can be done completely by speaking commands.
Also it is noteworthy that while on nav screen the bottom of screen shows what song / source is playing - touching that line switches the display to
that source. (or can be switched by voice command) Switching back to navigation can be one button touch or say "view map" from any screen.
There are some videos on the internet showing the various functions - just search the web by model number to see them, the features are quite good.
I have a rear view cam as well, the backup cam image quality on screen is very high.
CONS:
*This is a challenging unit to learn to operate. NOT intuitive in the least. The saving graces for me were that I can get around
the settings by voice command - and the settings don't have to be changed often.
* Too bright at night even at the dimmest settings, a good 10 times brighter than the dashboard lighting - which is a problem
when driving long distances at night. Once away from urban lighting, it is extremely conspicuous.
(the display can be turned off while music / nav are still working - display comes back on with a touch of screen or any button.)
Make no mistake, i am talking about having it on "night" display and dimming with display settings also.
*Operating manual is painfully basic and lacks detail.
Overall the sound and navigation quality make it a keeper for me - be advised this is not a simple unit to learn though.
