Terrific unit, plenty of inputs and outputs for future expansion. According to Kenwood tech support it may not receive a software upgrade to fully realize the functions when paired with their new HD tuner, KTC-HR300. Operation of the unit is pain free, but use of the touch screen monitor would be easier. Really love it, and still adding sources.

I have owned this unit for about 6 months, and am thinking of buying another. The fact that you get so much versatility in one product is amazing. I mean, you can elect to use your factory head unit, play music via USB or radio tuner. There's nav, bluetooth call capability, video, and a standby mode....and all of the aforementioned features are accessible from whatever touch screen you choose. In all honesty, can't think of 1 drawback to this unit....It's mounted underneath my seat...out of sight, out of mind....and it works as well as you expect, and then some.

I replaced a similar Alpine unit with this unit from Kenwood! The Kenwood unit is Awesome. There are a couple of minor things that I would change about the GUI but overall the thing is awesome. I can control my DVD player, Nav. system, Ipod, Sat. and radio all from its touchscreen. I don't have to use remotes for ANYTHING, everything works through the touchscreen like a factory system. I LOVE it! My one complaint is that they made it bigger than a standard double din opening so mounting options require some custom work.

I wanted all of today's technology in my 1968 Camaro. This did it all for me!

The Kenwood KOS-V1000 is basically the "brain" of a head unit in an amplifier-styled chassis for trunk, underseat, etc. mounting. This allows the user to add aftermarket H.U. features without removing the factory system. I have 2 DVD players, 2 video monitors, Bluetooth unit, ipod, and Kenwood amp all hooked up with room for more expansion. The optional ipod control cable is especially COOL, and allows full ipod control and viewing through the optional Kenwood KOS monitors.
