Head Unit Upgrade: Alpine vs. Pioneer

I was originally going to add a MyGiG system to my 07 Grand Cherokee but I've decided to go with a more conventional approach. I don't plan on adding any additional audio equipment or changing from the set-up I have now. One of the main reasons I am upgrading the head unit is that I want iPod integration that is easy to see (large display) and use (simple and intuitive menus). The other consideration is an accurate GPS that it simple to use.

I am considering several Pioneer and Alpine models.


Built in Navigation

Alpine INA-W900

Pioneer AVIC-X920BT



Navigation Ready

Pioneer AVH-P4200DVD

Does anyone have any experience with the above units?

I have always hate Pioneer for some reason, but I purchase a Pioneer Premier a few years ago and it's really nice (built in bluetooth, and iPod direct connect). How ever after checking out these two imo I would go with the Alpine. It was designed to work with the iPod and the face looks a lot nicer than the Pioneer. Good Luck!

I do believe Alpine makes the mygig units. I will say if thats the case they make a beautiful product! I love everything about this head unit.......... except the dumb BEOTCH who gets me lost, turns me wrong at the worst times and recognizes not one single name ive input into it in 7,000 miles of ownership. Now I believe Pioneer makes the ford based nav units. On my 08 lariet that is, that beotch has never once in 20,000 miles let me down. Pioneers nav units IMO are far and away superior!
