I've got the Kenwood DNX7100 too... The integrated Garmin Nav is tough to beat.

Here is an installed pic of my old Z1.. I have the Z3 now and the center console is black, but they look identical anyways.

Sorry no photos, but Zx (started with Z1, CD upgraded to Z2, and have ordered the Z3 CD) works good for me. Never compared to Kenwood, but compared Z to Pioneer's new F. If you want a NAV system get the Z, if you want a iPod interface the F might do. Also while the GUI isn't the best you can add XM, Sirrus, HD, iPod audio, BU Camera, and till 2/09 TV.

I have the Z-2 in my C6 and it works great. I believe the sound quality is better in the Pioneer than the kenwood and no problems with the Nav. or bluetooth.

One day. Prepping the trim to match the factory look is the most time consuming part. If you don't care about that, it will go faster.

I liked the Kenwood deck, but you can't beat the 10g HD on the Pioneer Z series. The Pioneer GPS always gets me where I want to go, but it has been creative on just how efficient of a route that it takes . I have the back up camera and ipod adapter interfaced into the head unit and really enjoy it. It all depends on what you want the head unit to do for you. I personally liked the 10G HD .
