Kenwood Kvt 516 7 Inch Navigation Receiver Bad ass! But more expensive than meets the eye


Bad ass! But more expensive than meets the eye, Well designed and does everything you want, but besides the price of the unit, expect to pay $450-$1200 for the additional wiring harness, modules, parts and labor to install. Wiring harness $80, Installation Gear $20, iPod Adapter $30, Antenna Adapter $12 and if your vehicle didn't already come stock with these modules: HD Radio Module $100, Satellite Radio Module $50, Navigation Module $300 and Back Up Camera Module $300. Don't forget labor, probably $275 a day to have a professional audio shop install.
Good Value - Some Cons but overall satified - So far..., Some issues with this unit but overall it functions pretty well.

CONS
1 - Sub Woofer control keeps turning off, for no apparent reason. The memory seems to not want to keep in the unit. Every once in a while the sub and audio controls will be greyed out and cannot be turned on.
2 - The angle of the monitor can be set, however the unit never remebers the last position and resets every time I turn it on.
3 - Pretty difficult to customize, the unit has 9 or so accessories that can be attached but you cannot disable the buttons if you dont have these devices so basically it goes to a blank screen, ie: Navigation bluetooth controls.
5 - USB must be USB 1 because it takes a long time to read the flash drive.
6 - Ipod classic and 1st Generation Iphone seem to freeze when using the Ipod controls.
7 - The unit shut off errantly a few times at the beginning but has'nt after the first week. This may have been because of a power wire that was not adequate. After changing to a larger power wire it seems to have resolved this problem.
8 - Hard to navigate the DVD menus unless you have the remote.

Pros
1 - Awesome picture for the DVD, playback is flawless.
2 - Sound quality is great, 0 distortion.
3 - Sub and EQ controls rival $300 units with the same functinality.
4 - Geat buy for the money since this same unit sells for $750 at Best Buy.
Slam dunk for the price, Very happy with this Kenwood product. The screen display is vivid, and
the controls are very easy to use. The potential for expanding with this unit
with add ons make it even more attractive.
I currently have the Garmin GPS navigation unit add on, and it works
flawlessly.
So far so good., This is an item I should wait until I have used it for a few months to rate. Well I have it installed and so far everything is working as it should. I have one beef that I wish Kenwood would address.. They have a heavy muti plug on the back for the video that has a small 1/4 by 1/2 inch plug that plugs into a small piece of the circuit board in the back.
Love it so far, Bought and installed a few days ago, really added some flavor to my speakers and car in general. After toying with it for a few minutes, I figured out all of the functions and I have it working to it's full potential. Great radio, great experience with seller.
