Thats kind of the point. Let the phone manufacturer spend the money on R&D and hardware.... All the radio manufacturer has to do is release firmware that continues to work. Everything is based off the phone. No need to have super high tech features in the radio when the connected phone has them and the radio can "reflect" it.
USB cables- the black one does all phones. The gray one is for thumb drives and charging. The GPS antenna is for maps to improve accuracy when using maps on phones. Those HD screens must be expensive because the next model up for another $200 gets you that. But THEN, you can plug in their HD 720p back up camera. Do a review difference between that camera and any others...would love to see that!
I've been watching your videos for the past couple weeks and really enjoy them. I especially like that the same info about each radio is in the same spot so I can find it quick on the video. I do wish though when you say something like "I wouldn't pay $650 without an HD screen" please let us know or give us an example right there or at the end of the video in a conclusion what you would rather spend the money on. Right now I'm stuck as I'm new to these things trying to find an HD screen at this price point.
It's not a big deal. The screen isn't something you stare at constantly to benefit from it being HD. And I'm sure the dpi is sufficient for it to look decent.
does watching youtube videos via the phone make it a issue for the screen not being HD? Trying to see if it's worth it or not. I'm really loving the product but just wondering how big of a issue it'll be without HD display
Wait for a price drop then it would be worth it. I've ran Pioneer pretty much. Had a Kenwood back in the day when the Excelon series started. It was double din. Not very user friendly though. Alot of features at the same time. It don't seem to be a bad radio. Just the price vs qaht your getting. Drop the price and would be fair considering it doesn't have HD. But, you dont buy a radio to watch movie's you buy a radio to run your amplifiers and sound in your vehicle. It's an output source that's it. So to me I'd buy it. They seem more user friendly now then back in the day.
Yes, I agree. I believe as a user friendly head unit with great pre out power Kenwood Excelon is it as long as it’s one of their reference series head units with hd display! Can’t lose with one of them whether you’re looking for video or sound quality!
@@Qualitymobilevideo when do you think theylle come down, and do you think they will make newer models by the time they do..just got a sony 5500 and was telling myself maybe get wireless once things calm down.

@@Qualitymobilevideo really a good wireless android auto system. If the prices for wireless versions are nuts I'd do wired with a wireless adapter. Everything about the Kenwood is pretty spot on, but I'd be happy to just have a smooth Android auto system and it works the car's backup camera (2015 Corolla). The stock radio is terrible and no longer works right... And you can hardly see the backup camera in it because the screen is so bad and dim 😂 I'm not concerned much about output since I'm not using amps and the vehicles stock system.
Bought this stereo about a year ago and love it! My only issue is it asks for a password to connect to the DMX907S wifi and I never received one. Any idea on how to get this going?
I'm curious on that too. I just bought the 957xr which is the reference series. Apparently they are made with better materials. I did watch a video from 4 years ago on the reference series and there was no clipping through rca's at full volume. I don't know if that applies to the 907s though. Do you ever figure it out?
Hey Alyssa, you should contact your professional installer and ask if you need a special harness for your car! Also, if you use SIRIUS XM, then you need to purchase one on Amazon’s website for around $50, because it doesn’t come in the box although it’s SXM ready! Other than that, all accessories are inside the box with the head unit! I just recently bought the DDX9907xr!

Hi all ... i have dmx 7018 bt unit in my car , i put a password 2 years ago and i changed my car so when i installed the unit on my other car it a asked for the password and i can not remember it ... can u help me solve my problem plz
Yes! If you are hard wired (with the necessary wiring accessories) then yes, you can successfully mirror your phone for videos, UA-cam, Netflix, Google Maps, etc!
I recently installed my 907s in my car and I’m not happy with the sound. Songs sound like they are playing in a tunnel, echoing vocals etc. can’t figure out what the problem is
Go into the audio settings and make sure you don't have any of the audio settings out of whack or any of the sound effects on. Could also be a wiring issue
Once you start playing w the dsp settings it tends to give that effect. Use a tape measure from ears to where speakers are behind the grill. If they are component you use the bigger woofer. I’m playing around w the settings to mine too.

Excellent review! Thanks for detailed comments where it matters - android/apple connection and sound quality
Glad it was helpful!
Breaks my heart reading complaint about $650 a year ago it's now $850 but I need a stereo that has multiple camera input
Almost impossible to find one in-stock.
It's not a big deal. The screen isn't something you stare at constantly to benefit from it being HD. And I'm sure the dpi is sufficient for it to look decent.
But it’s good for the high resolution HD camera
Does the HD really make that big of a difference?
It shouldn't but they've blown up the price and they're gonna keep it that way.
Are there any car stereos with a HD screen at this price point?
Literally none from the mainstream brands. 😭 At least this one is IPS, instead of TN.

You can only use one phone for CarPlay
Can it still do wired mirroring and carplay? I heard that mirroring doesn't work too well with OnePlus

Great question. Think I found my new head unit
This thing is $850 in May of 2022. Is anything different to justify this price?
