My dealer told me the opposite. The cool feature that Kenwood Excelon has is the ability to update the receiver. Software updates are a cool feature that has been shown in home equipment as well. My Denon AVR-5308 has this feature and saved me from buying new receivers. The software updates is advantage because of smartphone updates. While Alpine you have to update the entire Chinese made head unit.

Also, if you have an ISIS system, then ISIS can be updated as well. I originally bought my ISIS setup in 2010 from a group purchase. I just got mine back from ISIS and they updated mine to the latest specs for ISIS Intouch.
