I bought this Kenwood DNX7140 for my 2007 Toyota Highlander. I have used two of the Garmin PND before so wanted to buy in-dash unit with Garmin maps. The maps are up to date and has fast route calculation. The audio quality is very good on all the formats that is being played, like Navigation, CD, DVD or Radio. Phone setup and pairing is easy, once paired it always remember and you can play your phone's music via bluetooth. Screen display resolution could be little better but its OK.

I recommend this unit and never had any negative point as yet.

The more complicated the phone the longer to download the phone list, and yes it has to download every time. Steering wheel controls only work intermittently. Garmin works great. And so does the DVD player.
