Kenwood DNX 7100 in a 6th gen

Thanks guys!
Here is some additional info about my HU selection;
Initially I looked at the eclipse 6610, while I know that the eclipse is a more highly recommended unit around these parts. At the end of the day I chose the unit that I felt would give more value to me. This unit plays divx, has xm, plays music files loaded on a memory stick (via a usb connection), it also features full ipod integration. I have a creative zen, so use the audio video connections in my glove box to listen to music on the zen or watch movies, it also features excellent Bluetooth cell phone integration and dual zone listening (my daughter's favorite feature). I also have a rearview camera hooked up to it as well.




PYLE 7 inch display - Displays the same video signal as the headrest monitors.

when you installed it, did it require you to hook up a VSS wire? just curious since it's an ALL in one unit. My friend and I put in a kenwood add on nav and it didn't have a VSS wire connection..solely depended on the GPS signal.

If you are referring to a bypass to enable Nav input or video while driving, my installer told me that an additional bypass device was not needed. Something about not connecting a certain wire. Sorry that I can't be more specific.

Sorry I didn't do the install myself so I am not sure. Give me a minute and I will check the installation manual and get back to you.

That's what a crappy cell phone camera will do for you.

I just read the installation manual and there was no mention of connecting anything to the Vehicle Speed Sensor.

another annoyance I noticed. I normally listen to my MP3 CD's on random which works great when it automatically goes to the next song but when I hit the forward button it goes to the next numerical track not picking one at random. So if I'm listening to a Godsmack song and I don't feel like godsmack I have to keep hitting it or click random two more times. Most HU's I've seen can random the whole CD or folder I don't see options here.

If I am not mistaken, mine is the updated version and I have the ability to use a pic uploaded from a usb stick as a background. I am not sure what else.
