I'm down to these two units for my new head unit.
Clarion CX501
Kenwood DPX500BT
Decisions, decisions... They're within $20 of each other, and do the same things as far as I've been able to tell.
I've owned Kenwood stuff before, and have been pleased. I've never owned Clarion before, and have never considered them before.
I think the Clarion has a cleaner and better face and a better looking display. The face of the Kenwood looks cluttered.
I was also considering the JVC KW-R900BT. I love the display on it, but the BT via an adapter seems to be a little behind the times, and I'm just not wild about the layout of the face.
