    Great unboxing video!!! 👍👍👍 Awesome head unit by KENWOOD!!! What I really love is the 5V pre outs that it comes with, something Pioneer still doesn't offer on their head units!!! 👍👍👍 It looks very nice with lots of features and not to hard to function!!! I'm in the process of trying to buy one myself!!! I've been shopping for the best possible price on line!!! It pretty much has and does everything you need it to do!!! I don't understand why a lot of people complain about not having HDMI not having this or not having that!!! I mean let's face it there's no such thing as having a perfect head unit and you can't always have everything in one single head unit anyway!!! That's the reason why car stereo name brands always come up with upgrades on the following head unit model's!!! In any case you can't use every possible feature that they come with all the time, especially when your on the road driving!!! Some things we just have to learn to live without!!! All in all it seems to be a great head unit!!! I can't wait until I buy mine!!!! 👌👌👌

      I don't understand your logic. WHY would you not want to buy the PERFECT head unit that has everything you want and need if it was available?
      This isn't like a car where you can potentially upgrade to higher performance parts or add functionality. You are stuck with what you get.
      And any software/firmware updates that Kenwood provides are just basic bug fixes. They don't improve usability, improve the GUI, or add new/better features. They'd rather sell you next year's completely new model with some minor updates, but still the same recurring flaws. :/
      And FYI, using "!!!!" does nothing to validate your statements.
      These are Kenwood's TOTL head units, and there's absolutely no reason for Kenwood to not provide a "perfect" head unit for the amount of money they demand.
      If you're happy continuously buying expensive but sub-standard or flawed products, that your prerogative. SMH

      Just buy the non-NAV version (DDX9905S) and use Apple CarPlay or Android Auto with the NAV app of your choice. Of course, you can use your DDX995S this way as well.
      The only significant function you lose in the DDX9905S IMO compared to the 995 is the one Tilt Down Angle for the display.

    • @KenwoodUSA
      @KenwoodUSA  6 років тому +3

      HDMI inputs are unable to output to a second video zone, which this and all of our receivers ending in a "5S" have. By using the KENWOOD CA-C3AV input cable with a vast number of 3rd party adapters that can create an HDMI input or a variety of other styles of inputs, then selecting the AV Input source on the receiver, you are able to successfully have access to your video content not only on the receiver itself, but also output to a dual zone video source. Thanks!

      Kenwood has made a lot of weird decisions over the years with DDX/DNX units like the removal of the security code feature, the removal of the relay outputs, and the cost-cutting move of no longer including the remote or all the cables required to hook things up.
      However I think the removal of the HDMI they only had for a year or two probably can be blamed on the phone companies for never settling on a standard of screen mirroring or casting. Over the years there's been MHL, Miracast, MirrorLink, USB-C, etc. Then, since not many people understand the differences there was probably a lot of confusion as to difference between casting and mirroring, and all the stuff with the Kenwood mirroring app being crappy (see Play store reviews), phone updates breaking the feature, and on and on. Probably resulted in countless calls/emails to support along with complaints and poor reviews. So, they just took it out. Much simpler.
      I think it's understandable. What's not understandable is removing a $3 cable and selling it for $30 as an accessory (the C3AV nonsense), and removing the remote as well... C'mon these are NOT cheap units at new/retail prices--DNX995S is $1300 US I believe and they make you pay $30 for an A/V input cable? Unreal. There are of course other options to get generic "camcorder" cables to replace these but it's hit and miss if they are wired the same to the TRRS plug.

    Does the DDX-9905S also have the "-1" Downward Screen Tilt function, or does it only Tilt Up???
    Can you PLEASE make it possible to customize or change the Graphic or Photo that appears in the Square "now playing" graphic that's in the top left corner on the home screen??? I don't know what you call it, but it's the square graphic that looks kind of like white lightning bolts coming at you in a blue and black background where album art looks like it should appear? I love that you can choose your own image or graphic for the main background, but I'd love to have the option of changing that square now playing graphic!
    Overall, the GUI just looks dated, a bit cartoonish, and busy. Some screens are okay, but others just look cheesy for lack of a better term.
    I know that it seems like I'm really knocking this head unit, but it is absolutely fantastic in features, functionality, and sound quality. 👍 I would just like to see a more modern GUI & graphic design to match that high quality HD screen.
    Also, a lot of the Icon Graphics look like they're from the 1980's. Hire a modern graphic designer. For instance, on the WebLink App Display page, the "Media Player" and "NextRadio" icons are just horrible. The "Media Player" icon should be a large, simple Right-Hand "play" button Arrow with a simple Music Note placed within the play arrow. Take a cue from the simple icons on the Apple CarPlay screen.
    And if you're going to have descriptive text under an icon, it should be larger, simple, block text on a solid, plain background, similar to the font of your KENWOOD logo on a plain black background.

    • @KenwoodUSA
      @KenwoodUSA  6 років тому +1

      The reason the reverse tilt is only in the top end/nav receivers is that the mechanical parts cost more. Please check with one of our authorized dealers for current promotions: locator.kenwood.com/usa/car/ Thanks!

      Okay, understood. But the DDX9905s & DNX995s are Both ToTL "eXcelon XR" units, just no NAV in the 9905s. I just don't need or want NAV, and the NAV unit boots up A LOT Slower than the 9905s (tried it in a store demo board) which is quite frustrating.
      I'd pay $30 more for just that one "-1" Tilt Down screen angle feature if it was added to the DDX9905s! ;-) :-P I work in manufacturing and IMO it would be more cost-effective on the assembly line to have all of the mechanicals between these two units identical, and just add the NAV capability on the software side. IDK?

    I bought this stereo and I cant hook up my Pixel 2 wirelessly. Does anyone know how to do it? Also, another issue i found was that I have the Kenwood DRV-N520 dash camera and a rear camera attached to the stereo. When I put it in reverse the screen will interrupt and send me to the back camera, which is what it's suppose to do, however, when I touch the stereo screen to switch to the front camera while still in reverse and then switch it to drive or even park, the stereo screen showing the camera view would not change. I would have to manual exit the camera screen in order for me to go to the previous screen. Now there is no screen interruption when I place it in reverse, even though the camera interruption is switched on. The ONLY way to fix it at this point is to put back to factory settings. Does anyone know how to fix this too?

      Since the Google Assistant on an iPhone requires you to download the app on the phone itself, this would be separate from the receiver. Unless there was a way to make this be the native voice command instead of Siri, I don't imagine it would work.

      The Galaxy 7 will work for Bluetooth and for Wired Android Auto, but as of today is not a supported phone for Wireless Android Auto. Nexus and Pixel are phones manufactured by Google. As for the correct integration materials for your GPS antenna and rear camera, I suggested checking with your local KENWOOD dealer for parts options. Thanks!

      A Dashboard camera records forward facing, usually mounted under the rear view mirror. The DRV-A520 is a KENWOOD specialty dash cameras built for our receivers. It can record events while driving or parked and be viewed from the receiver options menus.

    I have a DDX793 unit with HD Radio that does not let me choose other HD sub-channels. I touch the CH UP/DOWN buttons but it just skips to another station however I do get the MC(multi-cast) and I'm positive that station has multi-channel available. What could be the problem? Is it related to antenna reception?

    • @KenwoodUSA
      @KenwoodUSA  6 років тому

      It could be antenna reception related, but I would recommend checking the following: While on the HD Radio screen, touch the tab on the left side, then select "MODE", then try in both "Auto" and "Digital" modes. Also, when you are on a station that has an HD sub channel, ensure that you are selecting the "CH Up(Arrow)" or "CH Down(Arrow)" and not the track icons.

      @KenwoodUSA  6 років тому

      Yes, you can trigger the antenna from the remote turn on instead, keeping in mind that it will always be powered on, which was previously only an issue with powered physically moving antennas. You may need to try a different antenna adapter as well.

    Why no HDMI?

    • @KenwoodUSA
      @KenwoodUSA  6 років тому +1

      The primary reason for no HDMI is that we wanted to simplify the most common task that using an HDMI input is for...which is mirroring a phone's screen. This is why we introduced KENWOOD WebLink, allowing for both iOS and Android device to have Waze, videos stored on the phone, and more all able to be displayed and controlled on the receiver with a single USB 1 wire connection. If you still need an HDMI for some reason, you can always use the KENWOOD CA-C3AV cable with a 3rd party company's product, like the iSimple ISHD01 to create an HDMI input, which then has advantages over a built-in HDMI input, like the ability to send that AV-IN source to the rear channels for a Dual Zone mode setup.

    When will Kenwood take the chains off it's radio. All this Apple Play/Android Auto crap is over thinking and unnecessary . Why not just add a app store, internal Wi-Fi, HDMI outs, and 1080p or 4k resolution. Then all you would need to do is tether your phone and you're done. I've spent thousands on several Kenwood models and gave up after the 991hd. Since then I've went to a $250 7inch Android radio and haven't looked back since. Tighten up Kenwood!

    If you were driving, trying to access all those features, you would have run over an old lady, mom with baby, a dog, a nun.....Too many features to have while driving. Also my 994 w nav does not function well when I have bluetooth enabled and using usb connected Android auto. Voice commands don't work while in AA. Have to unplug and disable Inrix, which I have found to be biggest interference with Android auto. Then plug in phone. Also, no matter the setting, Android Auto always tries to run. Even if I just want to charge phone. Try fixing all that while driving. Google will interfere with anything trying to stop it. Seems Inrix does the same. Have to disable one or the other. Can't keep both active and running in background. At least I haven't figured out how. Finally, if Sirius is a factory installed item, I think Maestro incorrectly explains how to configure. You need to select no when configuring the Maestro and let Kenwood control it. Now I have to pull radio out, pull out Maestro device, re configure and put all back in. As of now, I can't tune or customize Sirius. I can select it, but nothing else. I think I should have just plugged it in and configured Maestro so that it thinks I don't have factory installed Sat radio.
