I've always been a fan of Kenwood. Don't have much info on these.

Google the models and read reviews, also check youtube, people do reviews on there all the time.
 
Are you open to other suggestions, or just these two models?

...cuz the Alpine iva-w505 is far better than both.

Thats the dumbest logic I've heard....and its also not true. Alpine is far more recognized in the car audio world..

Anyways, the blackbird is discontinued. The navigation add-on is the Alpine NVE-P1 now. Just like with any navigation, people are gonnafind something to complain about, but I have no problems with it at all so far...

As a head unit, the Alpine is far better. As a navi unit, the Kenwood is a little better..
