Folks with Kenwood DNX double din units - questions
Are you happy with your units? Any issues? I know the 2012 models are faster, how can one tell the 2012 models from older models. I want to install one of these on my 2001 turbo.
Thanks in advance. Mo. |
I have an older Kenwood model installed in my 2001 TT and can say that I have been very happy with it. The fit is perfect.
|
Thanks - badM3. BTW, I love the Orient Red color.
|
Thank you. I may be putting it up for sale soon. Trying to decide.
|
Good luck on your decision. Looks like you are in my neck of the woods, Severn area is beautiful.

I have a couple year old DNX-8120 that I used to have in my Audi. It was nice, has Navi, Bluetooth, CD, iPod...all that good stuff. It was a nice all in one unit.
I still have it actually, I'll sell it for dirt cheap if you're interested. :) Looks like this: http://www.productwiki.com/upload/im...on_dnx8120.jpg |
Tom - thanks for the feedback and offer, I will pass for now. I'm getting the 2012 model.

Hi - agree on the 2012 kenwoods..they are gonna be nice.
I have my car in the shop getting one installed, a dnx6990hd, right now. Actually was supposed to pick the car up but the detail shop is picking it up and putting a clear bra while I'm using a loaner. Hopefully I'll finally see it installed in a day or two...anyway...hope this link will help. 2012 kenwoods |
Nicole - thanks for link. Please post your impressions after you get the car back.

I have the 6960. No real issues. Once in a very rare while, i have to restart the unit because it takes too long to read my ipod. Nice system and with an Porsche wallpaper and porsche opening screen, it looks OEM. The 2012s should be even better.

My car has the Kenwood DNX 5180 with back up camera, I love it. I'm not sure what year it came out, maybe '10 but my stereo sounds great. The touch screen works well, navigation is easy to use and it has the I-pod connection in the center console. I put a DVD in it just for the heck of it to see the video quality. Again, it's awesome, the thing does so much it will probably be the end of summer before I can figure it out.

I have a dnx9140 in mine. I love the unit. The Nav is awesome. The only thing I would do different is step up to the 9960 or 80 (older models-not sure of the 2012 designations) They have a few more bells and whistles. More eq bands and a better user interface. A key difference for me is voice dial command. The 9140 doesn't have it. The only time I regret the 9140 is when I ride in a buddy's car with the 9960. Can't go wrong with Kenwoods.
|
Thanks for the feedback guys, I am definitely going the DNX route.
|
GL. You won't regret it.

i just recently installed a dnx 9980 in my 01 turbo. i love it. there are so many features, its staggering. plus the fine tune-ability. you can dial in dB for the tweeters if you so pleased. a few big selling points on mine were the ipod connection, the nav interface, and being able to change the color of the buttons on the front face. i was looking at a 8120 and almost got it but i found that i couldnt change the color from blue. overall, im very impressed.

I just installed Kenwood DDX470 in my 2001 Turbo. It definitely improves the sound even when keeping the factory OEM speakers.

This is a pretty old thread, but I thought I would add a picture just incase some did a search on the Kenwood unit.
