: Kenwood DNX7100
ERNGE 08-18-2007, 11:00 PM Hey, anyone installed the Kenwood DNX-7100 in their Armada? I'm thinking i'm going to get it today, i was just looking for some feedback and maybe a few pics! Also, when I get it if you could advise what other harnesses I need to install in the Mada....its an 04 LE. Thanks guys.

mustangmwe 10-09-2007, 03:37 PM The kenwood is great, i use the navigation everyday for my jobs, i havent seen a better system yet...its garmin based, and i think that you can update it on a yearly basis (dont quote me though). My neighborhood isnt on the map because it is bieng built, and im in the boondocks but 99% of the time its on there. I added on the bluetooth (90) and ipod adapter (45). It lets you watch movies (if connected the wrong way) while driving and gives you turn by turn directions while the nav screen is off..and you can enter data while driving, which can't be done with the factory nav..a real PITA if you ask me, i know first hand on my ol lady's G35...
Hope this helps ya man!!
BTW the metra kit is what you will need, you said you had a 2004?? so make sure you get the correct one, because the 06 and above (i believe) have a lcd screen for the climate controls...
WoundedWarrior 10-09-2007, 03:51 PM so i am going to be able to watch videos off my ipod!!!! that is what i am talking about did you do the install yourself of did you get someone to do it for you and what did you pay for the system. i love the look of it.

here is the adapter that lets you use ipod audio and video on the kenwood, you control it on the kenwood screen.
I had someone put the unit in my car, i used Quality Car Stereo in Pensacola, FL (they are the only ones to do anything in my car) they do a killer job..I put the ipod thing in though, takes like 2 seconds..I had them run the wires for the iPod into the glove box so I just plug it in there and its out of sight, real clean..
Paid 1700 for the unit in Feb 07
mustangmwe 10-09-2007, 04:03 PM Before I forget..get the steering wheel volume, etc control adapter..i forget the name but whoever you buy it from will know...and also..you WILL lose the audio controls in the back seat, just a little sacrifice
masood73 10-09-2007, 10:41 PM Hello mustangmwe, The microphone by the steering wheel & speedometer, is it for bluetooth & how much is it cost & where I can get it. Thanks in advance
mustangmwe 10-09-2007, 11:15 PM i beleve i picked it up for around 90 bucks...i could be wrong, but i know its around that price range...any kenwood dealer can get it for you
ERNGE 10-10-2007, 05:55 PM How much did those guys charge you for the install Mustangmwe? I live in Panama City, not far from P-cola. Just curious.
mustangmwe 10-10-2007, 06:09 PM I got everything done in my car there, not just the kenwood...but they have great prices and they stand behind there work..they are off of 9th ave. by tippin..ask for lee, he knows me, tell him morgan with the armada sent you...call before you go though, they usually are very busy and only have one installer Mike, who really knows his stuff...if you have the balls you should sit in his truck, it will blow your eardrums out of place, and give you a mini stroke..:)
