Best In-dash or portable Navi in the market

I'm shopping for a navi system for my car and wondering what is the best one out there. I had OEM Acura (by Alpine) and it's really really good. The signal still on even in P3 underground parking lot.

The features I'm looking for is:
- accurate navigation
- fast response
- easy UI
- Strong signal

Best overall in-dash is gonna be the Pioneer AVIC-F920BT. I got to see this at CES last month and bang for the buck, nothing comes close. The Kenwoods are ok but the user interface isn't as good and to get something decent, you have to spend quite a bit.

If you want premium in dash look at the Pioneer AVIC-Z110BT or the Kenwood DNX-9140 (soon to be replaced by the extremely expensive DNX-9960)

The KW-NX7000 is not available anymore. If it was, I would have mentioned it! The JVC NT-3 looks pretty sweet but we won't see it for a bit.

No replacement for the 7000 for this year.
Yes, we carry the bluetooth unit for the JVC bluetooth ready decks. PM for details!

Well now that depends on if you actually want stuff to work or not. Recently we installed several W505's supplied by our customers and 4 of the 5 did not have proper working bluetooth operation. We had to rip them out and replace them with new units at the customer's expense. Alpine dropped the ball on Bluetooth. Until they get that problem solved I would stick with the solid performer that is Pioneer. I'll be putting the 110 into my car this year.

Sorry to hijack this thread, I really want a pioneer in my car orgasm donor. I want a quote on your products and also how much you charge for labor? I'm still looking around for competitive prices.

Features I'm looking for is:

accurate navigation while driving/telling me to turn or switch lanes ahead of time etc.
fast response
easy to use UI
Strong signal
I-pod
Blue tooth
dvd or blue ray etc,
mp3
cd
rear view camera.

AVIC-Z110BT sounds really awesome, but I heard it's really costly and doesn't seems like it's worth that much imo. I need something similar to that, depending on how much you sell it for then I would really want one of those.

thanks

The Z110 will do all of that (except no blue ray - no unit does blue ray now). The reason for price is because its a full 7" and is motorized. The AVIC-Z910 (or the new 920) has all that the 110 has but just a smaller fixed screen. The retail price on the 110 is $1899.00 CDN. The 920 will be $1399.00 CDN.

Of course when you come in to the shop I can get you a much better price on the unit with install. Thats how it works.
