Kenwood DDX616 Product Overview

The Kenwood DDX616 is a Double DIN DVD/CD Player with a 6.1” Touchscreen TFT-LCD Monitor. DVDs and CDs aren’t the only playback options for this Kenwood receiver, it is also compatible with AM/FM, which has a built-in CR-2 Tuner with 18 FM presets and 6 AM presets, MP3, WMA, AAC, and iPod. Equipped with 800 x 480 high resolution, a widescreen touch sensitive panel display, variable color button illumination, and interactive video graphics, this receiver provides easy navigation through its menu while producing enhanced video quality. Some cool audio features for Kenwood’s DDX-616 are the built-in RDS (Radio Data System) for improved radio features, SNPS (Station Name Preset) which allows you to assign programmable names to each radio preset, EQ3 3-band parametric equalizer with 8 preset tone curves, and the dual zone capability which allows the playing of separate sources to the front of the vehicle and the rear of the vehicle.

This Kenwood CD/DVD receiver also has plenty of expandability options starting with the built-in Bluetooth. The Bluetooth includes cables and a microphone, providing complete hands-free operation when receiving or making a call from inside your vehicle. With the built-in USB port, you will have full control with the latest iPods and iPhones, giving you even more playback options. The front panel A/V input allows portable media devices such as DVD player, gaming systems, and MP3 player to be connected. Sirius and XM Satellite Radio, HD Radio, and compatibility with steering wheel controls are some other expandability options that make the Kenwood DDX616 a must have.

Pros: It has a knob. The sound is good but its not going to blow your hair back. It is simple to bypass the brake restrictor if that is your thing. The bluetooth is great when it connects.



Cons: iPod response is slow. Often it buffers for like 5 to 10 seconds then executes. Makes looking for a track on your iPod a real ordeal. It suddenly shut off (without command) twice in the two weeks I had it. The bluetooth does not always automatically find your phone and you have to do it manually.



Perhaps it was a defective unit but I exchanged it for somehting else. I expect more from a +/-$475 unit without navigation.

For the money the DDX line is great. The iPod integration works well and is faster than almost any single din unit I've used. The bluetooth and screen quality are good too. If you don't need nav I definitely recommend any of the DDX's.
