Kenwood DDX470

Great unit for the money

Can't beat the value for all the features this deck has.

doesnt have navigation like description says

Nice picture. Good sound and settings. A little boring interface and menu options while watching a movie. Lags a little. A remote should definitely be included because it almost freezes when trying to adjust stuff while watching movies.

Kenwood DDX-418

Bought this item and installed it in our 2000 Nissan Frontier as part of a very large system. I also own a Kenwood DNX-9140 with all the bells and whistles, however didnt want the same for this project. Overall it is a great unit for the price. Hard to beat the 4 volt preouts on a HU at this price point. System Q's crossover etc. is the same as in my DNX-9140, a pleasant suprise. If using the deck to power speaker it has plenty of power.
Some of the cons are...no included remote, front USB connection requires an addition cable to work, and the Bluetooth operation is via another USB in the rear of the unit. I feel it should have been built into the unit rather than wasting a USB connection. No option for Pandora might turn some off. Install was picture perfect and no worries. For the money I couldnt find another that I liked better.

fast delivery

looked around everywhere to buy the Kenwood ddx470, lowest price anywhere was $350, I was told about this site, so decided to look it up. there price was $299, with shipping, taxes and conversation to Canadian, it came to less then anybody else's price.
I am usually leery about ordering on line from companies I know nothing about. I said what the heck, so I ordered the product, it came in a week.
very happy and have told all my friends about it and will be ordering from here again.
thanks sonic electronix, you will be hearing from me soon

Works with Android!

This is THE radio to get if you have an Android phone. The Pandora compatibility was the main reason I chose this particular stereo. Most units have this compatibility with iPhones but do not support Android, this one does. The Bluetooth mic works great even with the windows rolled down in my Camry. Gets kinda hard to see in sunlight but that is a minor issue.

Work great!

I love it, all is working fine and this system is really useful. The quality sound of the bluetooth is ok.

great value

I absolutely love this radio. Operation simple and looks incredible. If your looking for a good quality sound, here it is.

Great Stereo/Bad Blue Tooth

This is a great product to add to any vehicle. I put this in my daughters 01 honda accord and it looks and sounds great. Putting the stereo and steering wheel controls in was way easy and probably could be done in about 3 hours depending on how you make the connections to the existing harness.

Great product but AM/FM??

I love my new Kenwood DDX470 for everything but normal AM/FM listening. The reason is the reception on both AM and FM just plain sucks. So if this is an important criteria keep looking.
I have a Kenwood KIV701 on my Harley and the reception is great which, along with the host of other features, is one of the reasons I choose the DDX470.

Totally worth it!

This is a great deck, for a minimal cost. I installed it in my 07 Canyon, and couldn't be happier with it. Quick and easy install, and even quicker to setup. Love the built in bluetooth. Have my important phone numbers programmed into it for quick one touch dialing, and the quality is great. I recommend placing the mic in the top left corner of your windshield if you can. Keeps it out of the way, and still provides great quality to the person on the other end. Stereo is easy to navigate though, tho some of the touch screen areas are a bit small to try and work with. If you have fat fingers, be ready for a bit of frustration. iPod input is good, however, you either need to buy kenwood adapter, if you only want a single cord setup, or buy a second cord to go from the audio jack in the deck to the headphone jack on the iPod, while the first goes from the USB to the input on the bottom of the iPod. Little annoying that you need to use both jacks if your iPod doesn't have bluetooth.

All-in-all, for the cost of this deck, well worth buying.
