Hi All My Kenwood DNX-525DAB seems to have died recently. Initially the symptoms were a blank screen upon switch on, with just the red triangle light above the CD slot glowing. In the dark, it could also be seen that the screen had a very faint glow, although there was nothing on it. I tried...

Has anyone had experience with either of these units? I like the Kenwood, my wife prefers the Halo 9. I know from @Absolut5 what the differences are, just can’t choose. I worry that the Apline unit might vibrate as it’s a floating screen? cheers Ollie.

Everyone seems to be giving really good reviews on the Kenwood 8019DABS unit and I am wondering if it is worth me upgrading? Do you notice a big quality difference in sound with aftermarket speakers and amp? I currently have the VW Sat Nav unit, which is ok but I hate the sat nav and so I end...
