Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great System

I use this system everyday. Listening to the radio, GPS works great, and the camera system works good too. A single din system is hard to find and this one works well.

seamless add-0n

Extremely useful option. GPS nav without interruption of music. Superb display!

best deal going and fast shipper

Was very happy with their nav add on and great price and delivered what I wanted, still working great.

A little 2D but great item

I got this for a ddx516 and it does exactly what i intended. This is the second time i have ordered from Sonic Electronix and I will definitely continue business with them.

okay value

Product works so not very fast or accurate with maps.

Beware !

Unit worked good until time for map update. costs $79.95 to update the maps. If I would have known this I wouldn't have bought the unit !!!

Kenwood/Garmin

I love having this in my car. My screen makes it so easy to read and use. It was pretty easy to install and no issues while doing it. Has taken me everywhere since. I just wish the kenwood radio that I put it in had already been ready for just a turn on with out having to buy the seperate module. Other than that, it's been great!

Great accessory

I purchased this unit for my Kenwood DDX-616. After a hour installation it was working flawlessy. The best Garmin navigation unit on the market packed with tons of easy to use features. Overall, a Great buy and a priceless addition to my vehicle.

Pretty good....

The system needs to be udated atleast every two years, but it works great! had about a year now and have not had any problems. installed it myself took about 3 hours. very easy to navigate threw perfect add on feature

Kenwood KNA-G610

I ordered this unit to replace an aging 7100 so the navigaion would be "current". It installed easily with the existing 7100 wiring harness.

Pros:
Controls on faceplate easier to use than 7100.
Rotary vol knob is highly underrated.
Display is crisp.
Cool to be able to change color of hard buttons.
Audio is clean and undistorted.

Cons:
Navigation is slow.
Bluetooth integration is weaker than its predecessor. Newer Blackberry cannot connect.
Bluetooth telephone is horrible. Almost everyone I talk with over the bluetooth hands-free complains about the background noise and lack of clarity of the sound or noise. Incoming audio seems fine.
Touchscreen seems to have a mind of its own. The other day, I could not press a button and had to turn car off and reboot stereo. Very frustrating.

This is my 5th Kenwood in-dash since 2001. Each generation gets more graphics, more features, and yet the quality keeps getting worse. I do not envision another Kenwood in-dash system in the future.

Great Poduct

This Kenwood/Garmin navigation system is excellent. The installation was easy and the unit is extremely easy to use and well laid out. I find it far better than my old Garmin portable unit I have. Everything you need is in the package along with good instructions.

Excellent Value

This was very easy to install. Works nicely.

Great Addon

I recently purchased this for a add-on to my kenwood 6019 head unit. Installation was a breeze under 45 min. Unit works awesome!! thx again sonic !!!

GPS

While I have not used any other gps brand and cannot compare it with them, I can say it functions well and looks good. I do not like how the map constantly adjusts the aerial view and the program that keeps up with fuel mileage does not work right. It does have many other features that work good, with thousands of POI available.

I'm buying another one for my other vehicle!

PROS: Made by Garmin for Kenwood with free updates available from Garmin's website (I've DL'd 2 in the 6 months that I've owned this) - highly customizeable; you can create names and icons for your own points-of-interest and mileage logs - SD card used for updates and no CD/DVD required for operation (all factory systems that I have seen require a map CD/DVD in order to work) - 3D map view; I didn't expect to like this, but it's very cool once you start using it - customizeable automatic re-routing and voice prompting is nice - decent retail database onboard; you can pull up a business and view their address and phone number.

CONS: Could have a better retail databse (some businesses do not show up and they're not new) - Better update (my street is just over 1 year old and still not on the latest update; but I know that it will come).

OVERALL: I would recommend this unit, the PRO's far outweigh the CON's and this unit still kicks the tar out of factory onboard GPS. In fact, I am buying a second entire Kenwood DVD system with this nav unit for our other vehicle.

Great NAV system

Added this with my Tacoma install. Great interface, 2009 update has everything. Easy to install, good cable lengths (I could have used another foot, but it still worked fine). I've been using the GPS and have yet to be disappointed. Highly recommended, though I think it is a little pricey, but I'm starting to think it was worth it based on the features. I am considering adding the FM traffic antenna.

Can not get lost

Great product the KNA-G510, plenty of useful features. Especially the speedometer readout, and voice guidance. I can pretty much go anywhere and return without fear of being lost. It is definitely a great value and worth the money invested. Way to go Sonic.

Excellent Value

Easy installation. Provides more features than stock nav units.

Very Nice!!

This was very easy to install. The gps receiver does not have to go on the roof of your vehicle, it will read through the roof or windshield. Easy menus to work through. Worth the money and as always Sonic Electronix was excellent.

GREAT VALUE

Very good product in all way. Easy to install. Works nicely.

Great Addition

I have had the Kenwood DDX-6019 for about a year now and really liked it. My truck was rear ended in November and had to be replaced. I recently began installing it in my new truck and decided to give this Nav unit a try. Previously I had been using Delorme Streets and Trips on my laptop and either plugging it into the video input on my Kenwood or running it on the laptop. The Kenwood unit is much simpler to use in a vehicle. The maps are also more up to date (to be fair I was using Street Atlas 2005). I have only had the unit installed for a week, playing with it while driving around town but I am very pleased so far. I look forward to using it on a long trip. For those of you with a compatible head unit I would definitely consider purchasing this unit. The only feature that is missing is the ability for you to give it voice commands which would be useful when driving alone (some stand alones or computer programs have this). However, I have never used the voice commands before on my laptop so I don't really miss it.

As another reviewer mentioned, you will probably have to find the setting in your dash unit to turn the navigation screen on, I believe mine was in the general setup section.

Great equipment

Nice GPS in a little and hide box. Working with fresh software from SD card you will have a helpful equipment with Kenwood brand.

best navigation add on

This is the best navigation add on the market by far...Garmin technology with free updates by going to garmin.com..... by far the best because every other navigation, for updates have to contact the manufacture and that costs money, this one is FREE UPDATES!

Excellent value

I have using the product for over 8 months and the performance is excellent
