I know you are looking at the 5100 but the reviews I have read say it has the same problems. Two other annoyances are: it will not display rds and HD information (from the external HD tuner accessory) and more annoyingly, the curved highly reflective faceplate pics up so much glare it is almost impossible to use in daylight.

Luckily, the Pioneer has a mic you place wherever you want...
