Awesome

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.

Excellent unit for the custom job!

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

Great unit, lot of flexibility, highly recommended

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.

Mobile Entertainment Center

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.

must have

i have this in my 2007 escalade where taking out the factory nav was out of the question to upgrade the audio. must have!!!!

Best Expansion Unit on the market

I've yet to find anything else that does as much as this unit - just found out how to hook up my garage door openers to it for touch screen control. Really. This unit manages my bluetooth hands free, backup camera, touchscreen, ipod, hd radio, sat radio, usb flash drive, factory head unit, 6 disk changer, navigation, dvd player, tv tuner, + amp and sub controls. Even my factory steering wheel controls hooked up with a PAC interface.

Awesome Product!

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.
