Review written by skiknut from Houston, Tx

I wanted a great flip screen radio with DVD, Blue Tooth, and iPod interfacing. I tried others (Jensen and Clarion) before buying the Kenwood KVT-614. I bought the unit with Navigation system KNA-G510 and Bluetooth unit KCA-BT200. I wanted to use my iPhone 3G with the unit. Other units would not fully support the iPhone. After installing the unit I was surprised to find that the iPhone contact list transferred and all features were usable, with exception of on-screen SMS, which should be resolved with the new Apple software 3.0 release this summer. The Bluetooth has an external mic, which works well with hands free operation and mutes the stereo and allows the caller to be heard through the speakers clearly. The Nav system works great. Once the phone is paired with the unit, after entering the vehicle the phone is connected with the radio and calls are logged on the radio and answered by clicking the screen. The unit is customizable to allow importing your own photos as a background. Music can be played via iPhone, iPhod, USB thumb drive, DVD, or CD. After a week of use I added a subwoofer and 5 channel amp, which drastically improved the sound. The unit has an auto open/close feature, which opens and closes the screen when powered off. I've had the unit for 2 weeks and have truly enjoyed it. This unit is by far the best single din flip screen on the market, backed by a 2 year warranty. Kenwood made even more improvements to the comparable double din unit, DDX-814, which includes major screen resolution improvements. I would have bought it if space permitted. You can't go wrong with the KVT-614.
