I've been trying to find some reviews on it but no dice.

hmmm.. it looks like it isn't even out yet. Crutchfield has it, but it's a "preorder" and the shipping date is unknown. Still kind of weird that there is no review from one of the electronics review places.

I think I'll end up with this one - only difference from the other one is that it doesn't have bluetooth with it but I don't need that

you still have a power antenna?
the only problem with the kenwoods was that the power antenna wont work anymore, it will just stick up the entire time.
I switched to a whip antenna off a taco so I am not worried about it.

Just a thought...

Ended up just ordering another Pioneer DEH-P3100UB. Nothing fancy and didn't need anything fancy I can still plug in my mp3 player and use a USB with it.

Bluetooth and HD can always be added down the line.

I've got the DEH-5000UB and I like it a lot. I got it on Amazon after searching around one night. I'm not up on all the audio stuff out there but it looked good. When it came to the door I took it to a shop for an install. All the guys were all over it as it had just come out. They didn't even carry it and asked where I got it.I told them I was crusing the internet and just ordered it. They installed it for free because they wantedto play with it. I've had it a year and like it a lot. I've used it with my i pod video, an i pod shuffle, Sandisk Sansa, regular usb thumb drive, Dell PDA and had no problems with it. I like the fact that it's a digital signal for the ipods, it sounds much better than what I had before.

Pioneers site doesn't list it any more, go figure. Closest is the 6000.
