Is it any good? Can anyone speak from experience with this head unit?
I like the way it looks and want to get the navigation module for it at some point. I did hear that Kenwood has allot of issues. Any advice is much appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike

I suggest going to my350z.com and registering and go to the audio thread. There's a lot more peeps running that unit than u'll find here. I know it's a different car but it's got a lot of replies with different opinions like menu interface, options, and such. i only know one 5th gen max owner on here by the SN of "phxblue". other than that, i don't see much, plus I think most people on here like the eclipse double din one.

Holy crap that looks good! That's the HU I am looking at and had a question about the Double DIN http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=343194 b/c Crutchfield says it won't fit, regardless of Bose or not.

So yours just slide right in?

I will have to get the PAC adaptor so I can still use my Bose speakers/amp until I upgrade them as well. But I am adding a 12" sub just to get a little more bass.

Thanks.

I have this in my 4th gen and love it ,I know that kenwood has a few ppl down on them but I have never had a problem with any of the decks i have ever had over the past 10 years so i invested in the DDX 7015 and after 4 mo's im very happy

Shinnjee

Very nice!! and Crutchfield don't know sh*t about our speaker sizes too!

yeah, the installation was pretty straight forward. I installed Sirius and Navi, too, so it took awhile, but otherwise no problems.

1) When you have the Navi playing and showing you around town, can you still listen to a CD or the radio? Or is it only the voice telling you where to go.
It would be cool to see where you are/going/been on a trip but still listen to music.

2) Do either of you have a picture of what the screen looks like when you are playing a CD?

Thanks!

My music is always on. When I have the map on, I can still control the Sirius, CD, or radio through the remote control.

Awesome! Thanks for your quick reply. Def going to have to get his unit now.

darrick

i ran out and took these 2 but you can also play a cd with video from video source you can also change the wallpaper in the small square in the center.
**note this is a mp3 cd so a cd would have some diffrent wording but its the same screen.

Your's fits better than mine. I have this gap that goes all the way around, but you don't.

darrick

you have a 4th gen?

max5spd

iTrader: (11)

No, I have a 2k2. I had an I30t for awhile where the DDX first lived, but now I have a 5th gen.

Another question...

You had the non-Bose radio when you bought it right? I have the Bose and will need to buy the non-Bose trim piece.

Thanks.

darrick, thanks for pix.

max5spd: can you post pics of ur kenwood. i just want to see how it looks. somehow i can't get to your cardomain site. thanks.

I had the non-Bose, but it was still a double DIN stereo like the Bose. I had to purchase the GXE trim from Dave B.

i think that looks great with the gxe kit, Thanks!!! i got the gxe kit too and was always wondering how it would look. i was going to use the scosche kit but didn't like how it fits around the kenwood. now i really wanna get that unit. did u get it online or from ur local dealer?

max5spd

iTrader: (11)

I bought it on eBay along with my Sirius and Navi.

Shinnjee

is there more gap on the leftside versus the right? on my current double din, that's the problem i'm running into. i tried to bend the metal brackets to get it aligned more but it didn't affect it that much.

nope...it's the same all the way around.
