I have the IVA-W205. It's a POS. Everything is starting to break on it... I can't get the Blackbird to eject, it likes to eat CDs... FM reception is starting to get worse and worse... Not happy, in general with this device anymore.
I have about $600 to spend. I like the upper Clarion stuff, and I was at a local shop today where they had the X995 from Kenwood. I liked the looks, and I liked the features. Anybody have any personal experience with THAT deck in particular? I hate Kenwood decks, generally speaking, so I am not interested in ANY opinions outside of the X995.
If there is soemthing other than that, that might be a good piece of gear, let me know, please?

I sell Clarion at my shop and they work really well. They've simplified stuff alot too. They have 2 different units, 1 with nav 1 w/out. and they both have alot of features. The VX401 is a good option at around $500.
