I like it except for the fact I cannot get it to alert me when Iexceed a specified speed. There is an option I found that turns speed alerts on, but I cannot find where to enter a speed to triggerit.

I installed this unit in my 07 accord and I'm very happy with it. It has no bugs that I've seen.
BUT because I'm such a picky person I'll tell u everything that annoys me about it.
1. The USB port only plays music and can not play any videos.
2. The music u play from the USB port can not be fastforwarded or rewinded!
3. The buttons on the unit are hard and small, so after a while of turning the volume up or down, your fingers might hurt. This isn't a problem if you can control the unit with your steering wheel.
4. The navigation on this unit is very acutate. However, it's a worthless feature for me because when browsing the map, you have too zoom in all the way to see the name of a small street. So I use my iPhone for navigation. Garmin should take some tips from google maps.
5. The button arangements look like they were thought up by a child. For example, when using the Bluetooth feature, your have to press one corner of the screen to select the person u want to call and then u have to press a button on the opposite end of the screen to make the call. This pattern is seen throughout the unit including in the iPod.
Those are some of the things I hate, but like I said, I'm a very picky guy. Yes I want the perfect unit and I don't think kenwood has any excuse for the things I listed above.
The unit functions perfectly and has never frozen on me.
It does everything that is advertised.
I'm happy with it and I don't plan on changing it.

This is a great radio. I recently installed it into my 03 Acura TL-S and it works great and the ipod interface is superfast. The starup for the radio in general takes about 15-20 sec to really turn on.

I currently have the 8120 in my 2007 altima. This Deck is amazing, Navi is on point ( i work in jails doing security all over the country) I have never lost satellite signal. The parrot bluetooth is incredibly crisp and the signal is very strong to the deck from my phone even outside of my car. The signal processor and the EQ to me is what makes this deck. I have 2 12's and a PPI amp...My highs are all stock, however this deck with all the eq options it gives you, made it easy for my highs not only to keep up with my bass but stay amazingly clean throughout. Have not gotten a chance to try IPOD...But mine came with a backup camera...AMAZING once again. The only downfall in my option would be that it doesn't have voice activation. I would STRONGLY recommend this In-dash unit to anyone that is looking at eclipse (avn) or pioneer (AVIC).

This is a great product. It is very easy to figure out the menu's and customize to what works best for you. I added the bluetooth adapter which works great with the system for hands free calls. The Kenwood handles the music videos from my I pod great sound and video clarity. The only downside that I can think with this unit is it takes a few minutes for it to boot up when you start the car before your music comes on, but it really is not enough to even be bothersome.
I've had several navigation system and this by far has the best one that I have ever used. I would not hesitate to purchase another unit should I trade cars.
