Kenwood DNX5160 6 1 Inch Double DIN Navigation Better than expected


Great but..., After keeping this on the shelf for many, many weeks, I finally got this installed in Malaysia. The units sold by the local distributor (DNX-5360)is close to double the price! Made it a no-brainer!

The initial installation was relatively trouble free with the exception of the mapping function. It was loaded with the USA map and my installer could not load malfreemaps on it. After a week of calling Singapore and the USA, the local Kenwood distributor managed to help me out. It now works like a charm. It's freshened up my Ford Escape and I love the unit! Still trying to make the videos in the USB flash drive work but I'm not too worried about that as I have the iPod as the main media source.

So, the 'but'...
NICE as HELL!!, The Kenwood is pretty nice. I had it installed in my Benz and its OMG!! the clarity of it is simply astounding. I also had a rear camera installed and when its active you would think your watching a movie in 1080... The monitor is a very nice size and since it was nicely installed it looks like it came standard. When the Navigation is on and you have music playing it really does practically mute the music to give the directions that are required. In that aspect it is much better than the previous Kenwood (the one with the flipout screen). It was definately worth the purchase. Just make sure you dont get it at Car toys directly the best price was here on amazon.
Better than expected, At first I purchased this product because I managed to catch it on sale at Amazon. After some investigating, it turned out to be a great after market system. The GPS is provided by Garmin, which is OK and sufficient for my needs (I wish traffic updates were included!). What was very surprising about this product was the sound quality without the use of any amplifier aside from what is built in. The Toyota factory stereo was very "quiet and muted" and I was never satisfied with it. Once I listened to a CD on this car stereo, I was impressed. Crisp and clear voice and string instruments come through, and there is a good amount of bass felt at low volume levels, all with the default factory six-speaker system (no sub).
Nice look, slow software..., Very nice looking electronic. almost a perfect unit with all the accesories. 6.1" screen, Garmin GPS, Traffic Receiver, DVD Player, AUX connection, Ipod compatible, USB connection, HD Radio, Satellite Radio, Bluetooth and Rear view camera. The darkside of this unit is the software, it is not as fast as you may like and also look kind of old. The bluetooth does not work very well, if you want to use it you will have to sync your phone every time that you turn on the car.
Overall is a good unit; i hope after i do some updates start working better.
Kenwood Radio, I love this radio. By far the best one I have owned yet. The navigation is more accurate than my previous GPS by Garmin. The only flaw is that the radio takes a min to boot up when you first cut on the vehicle, but that is a minor set back compared to all of the pros about this multimedia system.
