Bios:

The only thing regarding a release date I have found is that Crazy Bob's thing mentioned upthread which says July. The only info I can find on anything new is on their website's new Excelon page which is really just a .pdf catalog. Seems they're reworking their website (and taking their damned time on it too).

I'm at sixes and sevens as to wait/not wait. The iPod functionality is almost at the top of my list. Why can't Kenwood make a Pioneer-style all-in-one so we don't have to buy the navigation as a separate piece?

Funnily enough, if you work it all out, the previously foo-foo looking Pioneer AVIC-N2 seems better and better priced as you put together a system. Of course the D1 is as well, but both these units suffer from the supposedly horrendous iPod interface that everyone is bitching about (and I believe them). Oh Kenwood, save us!
