| I must agree with others who say this device is complicated, but several readings of the manual and some fiddling bring you tremendously good results! I added a rear-view camera, XM radio, a 5-channel alpine amplifier, 10" Alpine subwoofer and infinity 3-way speakers and WOW! What a sound!. The unit has superb voice contrlol and amazingly diverse sound controls. I can play files from a USB hard drive and my iphone/ipod, including music videos. The video on the 7" screen is awesome! The Garmin software is wonderful - I have three other Garmin untis so it was very easy for me to master. The only glitch I have had is that my ipod loses connectivity sometimes. I still don't know why, but a simple cable reconnect fixes it. I also love to have video podcasts on in the car. |
Works good for me

| Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R156HHGX805EOY What do you want to know? Is it a good product that does what it supposed to do? Yes! You have to buy a hook up to connect your ipod to it so you can play the videos on your ipod. You have to buy the rear cam also to hook up to it. It is a great product. I love watching my ipod videos on it. I love the quality of the screen. It works fast enough for me and I show it in my video. You can hook up a 5 channel amp for the front and one to your subs too. You can have your xm, ipod, xbox 360, radio, nav, tel, tunner all hooked up and ready to play! Can also use the video out to go to another source. I have a Honda Del Sol so not much use of another source for me. ha. Some of the concerns I had when reading the reviews I go over in my video. I hope it helps!; I had to edit the video a little. I took out the middle, but the key points are still there. |
DEFINITELY worth the money!

Before getting the 9140, I had a Kenwood KVT-910. I have to say, Kenwood has outdone itself yet again. It's not perfect, but no unit will be. There are pluses and minuses to all the units out there. If you are searching for the perfect one, then you will be searching for a long time. I don't have anything bad to say about Pioneer (or any other Navigation HU out there), but all I know is that I am completely satisfied with the DNX-9140.
Here are some pros and cons.
PROS:
1) Excellent DVD picture
2) Garmin navigation
3) Voice-control is very accurate.
4) Tons of features. I probably won't use 1/2 of them, but it's good to know that they're there if I do want to.
5) Multi-angle tilt comes in handy.
6) Touchscreen is very responsive
7) Can easily hook up to headrest units in the back seat (I got the Vizualogic Roadtrip and it works great)
CONS:
1) More expensive than other in-dash DVD/Navigation headunits out there.
2) User interface does take time to get used to and learn
3) My biggest gripe: Can only hook up 1 item from Sirius, XM, and HD Radio. It's bad enough that we have to buy extra modules to use these features, but only being able to hook up one when the 8120 can hook up more?!?! Fail! |
Fantastic Head Unit

| Finally, I've managed to unclutter my windshield. I now have my cell phone, GPS, XM radio, Traffic receiver, DVD player and CD player all in this one unit. The Garmin nav system is GREAT and works just as my Garmin Nuvi 880 worked. Satellite radio is fully functional and the bluetooth interface works flawlessly with my LG cellphone. I have now been able to clean up all the clutter (wires & devices) that have litterd my windshield and dashboard. The User interface is highly intuitive and easily understood by even non techies. Kenwood has a great product in this unit! |
Great Head Unit, One Missing Feature

Absolutely superb head-unit/nav system/etc. I had someone else do the installation, so I can't really comment properly on the ease of install. But using it, while seemingly complicated, really isn't bad at all. A little experimentation with the various controls and I had most of the features figured out.
Works great with my iPod Touch, as well as my iPhone 3G from a Bluetooth and music perspective. iPhones apparently can't share SMS information with the Kenwood, however (or if they can, I haven't figured it out yet :-)).
The one thing I'd appreciate with the Kenwood is support for M3U playlist files on media such as CDs, DVDs, and flash drives. Currently, it just ignores the M3Us that I have on my USB thumb drive, so my playlists are useless. I've called Kenwood's tech support, and the guy I talked to verified it doesn't work, and also noted he's received numerous requests via phone and email for the same thing. Whether that means we'll see a firmware update or not is beyond me, but I'm not holding my breath. |
