Kenwood DNX6960 2-DIN DVD/GPS Unit

[SuperchargedMR2]

I know that a lot of people have been buying the cheap Chinese players, but I just bought the double DIN Kenwood DNX6960 for my Matrix so I thought that I would share a few pics. I love this unit & I would love to put one in my Corolla too. It cost more but the features & quality are excellent.

Features include:
Garmin GPS - Built in
iPod Control - A must feature for me as I love my iPod & iTouch
DVD/CD Player
SAT Radio - I didn't hook this up as my iPod has all my favorite music on it for free.
BT For Phone - Built in
Aux Input on Front
USB Connection
Input for Video from iPod or other external source
AM/FM Tuner
HD Radio - Optional
6.1" screen
Changeable Color to match car dash



iPod


Garmin GPS


Source Screen


DVD Player

I got it for $999 & there is also a $100 rebate on it. I found it for even less on line, around $789, but they weren't an authorized dealer so the warranty wasn't as long & the rebate wasn't on top of that price. It came with a 2 year warranty. It also had a promotion and came with a free back up camera. It's a very cool feature & gives a very good wide image. I'll have to post pics of that when I can. So with the free back up camera & rebate I felt I was doing okay plus I got the 2 year warranty.

I have loved my Garmin GPS units & that is why I love this unit too. I read nothing but great reviews from other owners so I felt safe doing it. It was more but worth every penny.

Was it plug and play? Can you use the steering wheel controls? Any DIY?
Thanks in advance.

I kinda wish he would stop before I will go bankrupt in the near future but yeah it does look great

Loooks great! Would you want any other feature on it that it doesn't already have?

I know you have the JBL and BT for your S right? Will this h/u be compatible with it? As well as the steering wheel controls for both audio and BT?

Thanks in advance Jim!

Did that price include the install ?

This was installed in my 07 Matrix which doesn't have steering wheel controls. I was told that it is able to be used with them though.

This has everything that I would want for my Corolla except one thing, which is the ability to use my steering wheel BT controls. The stereo controls can be used okay.
