i have a kenwood unit and personally i like the quality better. pioneer did up their security on this issue starting back with the avic-n2. there are ways around it, it is just very confusing and time consuming to make work.
and yes, while it is illegal, you wont find a shop to do it for you because of insurance reasons. i know i am solely responsible for my installation in my own car so i only do such things knowing the issues behind it. plus i only watch movies while im bored at work and parked hehe
