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.

Van just back from headunit install, no steering wheel control, no MFD data either. The Kenwood DNX516DAB was out my old van so I needed to supply various bits and bobs. The main issue is the steering wheel controls and MFD data which, apparently, don't work because I should have known that I...

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...
