abunda_amazon_reviews Solid unit for the money. GUI is nothing special and often looks overly cheap. Kenwood tried way too hard. Display is Resistive, not Capacitive... Its 2019 come on. I get that "Oh you can use it with gloves" but thats what the hard-keys are for. The screen is either overly-sensitive or not nearly sensitive enough. Car-Play and Android Auto work great, but I'd have preferred a nicer display. Audio Quality and Audio Settings are good! I have no need for Maestro or Video-In/Video-Out so thats a moot point. I should have saved the money and just got the Alpine ILX-W650.;;Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2019;;4.0 out of 5 stars;;Its no Alpine;;Send Me Free Stuff;;;I've been upgrading the radios in the household "fleet" and found this unit on a recommendation of an installer friend. It's 1/2 the depth of traditional head units because it does not have a CD/DVD player. Given how we ingest media now, I don't HAVE any CDs or DVDs... so this is PERFECT. Gives me some room behind it to put things like a Maestro unit, or SiriusXM module without fighting like with the larger depth head units. The sound? INCREDIBLE - the CONTROLS of the sound? Nerd heaven!! It has a single USB for connecting your smartphone, and is smart to know which kind you've connected (Apple/Android) and loads up that interface. This unit is the WIRED CarPlay/AndroidAuto and I prefer to use it by plugging up and not have my phone hijacked by the "wireless" (that the 9xx series gives you) that some think is neat. Customization of the controls and presets, etc on the unit are stellar. I am VERY happy with this unit.;;Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2020;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;In a market flooded with "great radios" - THIS one stands out;;Christopher S Judd;;;Sound quality is excellent and the sound controls are spectacular. I like the sound effects capability which allows you to get the echo effect if you want it. Deck works flawlessly and probably one of the best additions is the anti glare screen. I can wear polarized sunglasses and still see the screen. I've had almost ever brand of deck at one time or another and still prefer the sound quality of the Kenwood. Installation was typical and straight forward. If you've ever installed a car stereo before, it will be a no brainier. I use Android auto from time to time but prefer the Spotify app on the deck to Android auto because of the smooth interface and easy access to the eq. This deck is a great bang for the buck...;;Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2019;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;Kenwood never disappoints...;;Maurice Olsen;;;I did extensive research before purchasing this head unit. I wanted an HU with Android Auto, Sirius, and the ability to retain the factory backup camera on my 2008 Toyota Sequoia Platinum. Along with the Pac aftermarket wiring harness and a Metra camera harness, installation was really straightforward. The stereo industry has standardized wiring colors and I didn't have any trouble with the directions from Pac or Metra. I love the short depth of the HU, allowing plenty of space for the installation module, sirius receiver sxv300 and additional wiring harnesses. The HU has breathed new life into my vehicle's speakers! WOW! My son asked if I had replaced the factory speakers because the HU really allows you to tailor the sound through a speaker management system. I thought the factory JBL 14 speaker system was nice before, but now I notice a significant improvement. The HU still goes through the JBL amplifier, but the signal is so much sweeter. I highly recommend the DMX706S!;;Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2020;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;Completely Satisfied;;Kindred2k1;;;Excellent unit, it does everything it was designed to do very well, sound quality is top notch as you would expect from a exceleon unit, Android auto launches quickly, apps all work solidly, setup is straight forward. It's a short chassis so it fits in the tightest of dash kits, audio tuning features are excellent, still not a full boogie DSP but it does a good job for what it is. Would like to see at least one more USB port so you can have Android auto or apple car play connected without removing your USB stick.;;Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2020;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;It's a Kenwood,;;Charles W.;;;Installation is pretty standard and no bit deal as long as you buy the correct wiring harness for your vehicle. However, if you want to do something other than a standard installation then do not rely in the manual for help. It's awful. Just awful. It's pretty thick but that's because it's printed in several languages. Trying to hook up a backup camera was a nightmare until I found a you tube video that explained everything. The touch screen is good and apple carplay thus far as worked flawlessly. But I can't and won't give anything above a 3 star for such a pitiful manual.;;Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2019;;3.0 out of 5 stars;;It's okay.......;;Ralph Mason Clark;;;I finally update by system in my 2000 F350. It was pretty straight forward and lots of online videos describing how. I guess my two biggest issues are the touch spaces for some things are kind of small but still usable. The volume buttons are buttons and are not a dial - and a dial is easier to use while driving. And yes you do adjust the volume while driving - but you do have to glance at the unit to do the volume. It is a large screen so it takes up all the room in the space my old one was and does not quite fit flush due to the design of the dash overhangs where the radio was. I have had a couple times when my iphone was not detected and carplay did not autostart. I had to shut off and reboot to get it to work. Not sure what is going on there. Does not happen every time or very often. That is why not 5 stars. Maybe a software update will fix it. But it has lots of features and is loud enough using the internal amps for me. I am the wrong person if you are asking about frequency response since I cannot hear anything over about 8kHz, but is sounds good to me.;;Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2020;;4.0 out of 5 stars;;Nice upgrade to old truck - wish I had done it sooner;;Ross K;;;Won’t play videos from your Apple phone like I had thought. Would need to purchase 3 different adaptors to connect to back in order to do so ($100 total) otherwise the screen is pretty useless. Wish it had a remote or touch screen volume. I HATE how you have to click a small button for volume, mostly everything else is actual touch screen. No videos during songs just a bar display or album art display. It does GPS. No DVD player or Camera in this model! No problems with hookup other than getting steering wheel controls to work. Other than those complains it plays great quality sound, looks very clean and massive screen display.;;Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2020;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;NO DVD OR CAMERA. Great buy otherwise;;David McCallister
