I'm trying to augment my OEM system on my 2006 IS 350 non-navi and decided to go with either the Kenwood KOS-V500 or the Alpine VPA-B222 OEM integration.
One thing though, I googled but couldn't find any reviews on either unit, just CES previews.
Anyone have any information or owns either of these units who could offer some input?
I've read the documentation, the Alpine is overall less expensive (since the LCD has Bluetooth built in) but has less features overall and a pretty ugly user interface. The Kenwood has a more polished user interface, has a backup camera expansion, iPod video support but the current bluetooth module isn't compatible with sat radio and it runs about $300 more.
