Kenwood DNX5120

Not very satisfied

I had this unit and had several issues with the USB and power supply. My unit never worked right. I have had better luck on a brand new unit.

One of the coolest things I've ever seen

This is a very attractive and user friendly head unit. It seems to do everything well. iPod interface is very fast and the Garmin navigation is awesome. It grabs FM stations I've never heard before (picks up some Atlanta, GA stations in Birmingham, AL). Easy install without having to tap the vehicle speed sensor. This thing just flat-out rocks!

Great Deck, Amazing Price

This deck was an amazing purchase. got it for a 2006 Munstang and it looks great in the dash.

The navigation is by Garmin and is great. no problems with it at all.

Ipod hookup works great with 1st Gen iPhone, yet to try with the second Generation.

everything else works great, the touchscreen is near perfect and overall a great deck for the price.

5120 mostly there

lets start with how much i like it, I'm not sending it back. Everything basically works as advertised.

So Im now going to list what doesn't work as advertised; despite these problems its still worth the purchase. Ipod cable is cheaply made and falls out of ipod. Switching between ipod and another interface does not pause the ipod, it just keeps playing even if your not listening to it. The audio high pass and low pass are not labeled as such, so it takes a while to get used too. Only 2 preouts, had to piggy back off one of my subs. Again, despite this quibbles i still like it.

Good product

This has been a great alternative to expensive OEM units. The functionality of this unit is exceptional, and quick. The menus are very responsive, and setup is very easy.

Now onto my complaints:

- the satellite radio display leaves something to be desired. I am a fan of the pioneer unit's display, the way it shows the XM or Sirius logo on the screen. Not a big deal, but better to look at.

- Backgrounds: Unable to have a custom background with an iPod connected and a CD in the unit.

- Nav: the navigation sometimes responds slower than I'd expect. I've never owned another Nav system, so I don't have anything to compare to. Sometimes on startup it takes the Nav about 1 to 2 minutes to locate itself, and be prepared to navigate. This can be very frusterating if you're in a hurry, just sitting in your car waiting to enter directions into the system.

Overall my complaints are outweighed by the performance of this unit so far. I've owned this particular system for 6 months.

Kenwood DNX5120

The item was exactly as described and it's just very convenient once I purchased this item from Sonic Electronix. If it was not them, I'd have had to spend way much more money for the same item which I could save so much money on getting a GPS Navigation system. I give my great appreciation to their great offering, sincere communication and reliable businessmanship with them. I'm positive that all the other items that they carry must be even better choice to depend on than any other products.

Great Unit

Product is excellent XM radio works great, Bluetooth phone is awesome, Navigation is user friendly and very accurate. Only flaw that I have found is screen is very difficult to see in bright sunlight hopefully there is a screen filter available to cancel the glare.
I have noticed the glare is more evident if your vehicle has a light colored upholstery

THE BEST THING TO HAPPEN TO RADIO

I HAD A FACTORY RADIO IN MY TRUCK AND WHEN I PUT MY NEW KENWOOD DNX5120 IN, I WAS SO SATISFY.I RECOMMEND IT TO ANY ONE THAT WANT`S A AFTER-MARKET RADIO. SONIC ELECTRONIX HAS THE BEST PRICE`S ON THE WEB.

Best double din for your buck

Easy to use. Lots of options. Fast iPod response. Easy navigation. What more could you ask for at this price?

love it

I love the way this unit looks in my car only bad thing is touch screen
may be I got bigger fingers cant press right key.
