Advanced Built-in Navigation by Garmin

Navigation has never been easier. With the Kenwood eXcelon DNX9960 you will get Garmin navigation and Navteq traffic as soon as you properly power on the unit. Being the leader in GPS navigation, you can trust Garmin to accurately get you to your destination in the fastest and simplest route. The internal NAVTEG traffic tuner will guide you around congestion and helps you avoid accidents. The large database of points of interest (POIs) help you find restaurants, hotels, gas stations, banks, and other areas of interest. The navigation in the DNX9960 will help you drive with confidence every time you leave your driveway.

Hands-free Talking Included

True hands-free talking is waiting for you. Kenwood has joined with Parrot to integrate advanced Bluetooth features into the Kenwood DNX9960 so you don’t have to pick up your cell phone in your car. Once a Bluetooth phone has been paired, the headunit takes over. Dial, scroll phonebooks, view incoming and outgoing calls directly from the 7” screen. When a phone call comes in, simply answer the call and the call will take of the vehicles speakers. It is as simple as that. And if that isn’t enough for you, the DNX 9960 allows for A2DP audio streaming for music playback from Bluetooth enabled devices.

Superior Sound and Advanced Audio Options

Music never sounded so good. Inside the DNX9960 are advanced audio processors that enhance the music playback. User definable presets and tuning allow the system to be tuned exactly the way that you like it. Using a 24-bit digital-to-analog converter and a 13-band Equalizer, digital music has never sounded better. No matter if you are playing high quality CDs or low bit rate MP3 files, the Kenwood DNX9960 will enhance the audio properties for excellent audio playback. Lets not forget about the 5.1 Dolby Digital processing and DTS decoding will allow you to experience in-car movies like never before.

Excellent

This an amazing head unit. It has everything you can imagine. It does take some time to figure out all the options but once you get it down its pretty simple. It has so many options its unreal. The resolution is amazing. The sound is SUPERB.
The blue tooth works like a charm. I have yet to have any issues with it. Everybody says the boot up time was really slow and about 36 seconds. I found that it actually boots up faster like 10 seconds or so which works just fine for me. The Garmin is so easy to use. I definitely think this is worth my money!!!!!!!!

Awesome Unit

Took a little time to figure some of the head unit out, due to so many options, but the sound is amazing, GPS easy to use with a lot of features so far very accurate. Bluetooth very nice, clear sound and everyone that i have talked to says my voice comes through very clear. DVD video very good picture and will play several video formats. voice activation very nice feature when i can remember commands. Overall very very nice unit.
