I'm in the market for an in Dash touchscreen HU to replace my CD skipping factory POS. I was very close to buying the Kenwood DDX512, but have read some reviews and people have said that kenwood hasn't released the cables for the bluetooth or Sirus radio add ons yet....these are both important to me. Here's what I'm looking for, maybe ya'll have some ideas:

-GPS Ready
-Bluetooth
-Backup Camera Ready (not completely necessary but would be cool)
-Sirius compatible
-Ipod Compatible (def need a USB port)

The nav isn't so important to me right now, I may add the adaptor down the road but don't want to spend the extra $300-$400 on a unit that already has it installed. I'd like to stay in the $400-600 price range and would prefer a brand name unit with a crisp display and no lag on the touchscreen when pressing buttons.

Any ideas?

EL_OCHO, just curious wouldn't it have been cheaper to get the dnx8120 instead of the DDX812 + the KNA-G510 nav add-on

There is a shortage of the 8120, Kenwood reduced the price on the 812 + G510 as a package. It cost me 1399.00 for the combo.
