I just came back from an audio installer who did my subwoofer/amp installation. I was playing with the Kenwood DNX892 while I was at the shop. Except for the unexpected long bootup time, I was liking it. Anybody here has any experience with Kenwood head units?

 

If you search for Kenwood under this area there are several good threads talking about them including some installation information and functionality. The comprehensive threads I've seen are for 2013/2014 model Kenwoods.

I'm hoping to find the difference between the 2014 DDX7701HD and the newer DDX672BH. The only thing I see different on Cruthfield is that the 7701 can be upgraded to navigation if you wanted. If the 672 has same functionality with the Maestro RR and MUS1 kit as the older ones, including the HDMI input, then I think I found my new head unit.

 

FYI, for anyone interested. I looked at the manuals and the 672 does not support HDMI or MHL. It also does not have the ADS interface for iDatalink. I believe you need that if you are wanting to use Sirius and have all the features the iDatalink setup can provide.

 

I just bought a refurbished ddx-8901hd without nav from Joy at sound of Tristate, 877-558-3229. give her a call and she should be able to set you up with everything you need. just tell her you are on the forums...Great customer service. Ill have the rest of my parts soon so i can start the install.
