5.0 out of 5 stars This Rocks!, November 11, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Kenwood DDX512 6.1-Inch-Wide In-Dash Monitor with USB/iPod Direct Control/DVD Receiver (Electronics)
I bought this to replace the stock head in my 2008 Caliber SRT4. What a difference. Coupling this with Polk Audio 6x9s all the way around + a 10" Sub and 200 watt amp made for a killer sound system in this little car.

This review is from: Kenwood DDX512 6.1-Inch-Wide In-Dash Monitor with USB/iPod Direct Control/DVD Receiver (Electronics)
this is a great all around unit

i had to upgrade after my stock headunit took a dump and couldn't be happier with my choice

the earlier complaints about this deck have now been solved and all you have to do is visit kenwoods website to get the latest updates installed (Real easy) and if your using a rear sub via the sub out connection you will have to contact kennwoods customer support # to get them to walk you thur the process.

btw calling and getting a kenwood tech is REAL easy and they are more then happy to help you. i called 3 times about different questions and got the answers every time, with little to no waiting on hold. (thank you kenwood)

the deck is fully upgradeable down the road so if you decide to add navi, satellite radio, bluetooth or hd radio ect. your covered no problem.

if your wanting to use your ipod or iphone with the new update and the use of KENWOODs KCA-IP301V cable you will be able to control your ipod thru the deck seamlessly

i am currently able to control my iphone 3g with no problems. (Video music podcasts .ect)

so if your looking for the basics with the option to upgrade you'd be goofy not to seriously consider the DDX-512

4.0 out of 5 stars Great all around, December 20, 2008
This review is from: Kenwood DDX512 6.1-Inch-Wide In-Dash Monitor with USB/iPod Direct Control/DVD Receiver (Electronics)
Purchased as a replacement for factory DD radio, great head unit- It can be upgraded to all the stuff you exactly want. It plays DVDs, no issues viewing, great sound quality with the Alpine components, Have the navigation love it to - just wish you could here the radio but I guess if you need directions your focuse should be there not the music, Radio is as weak as the factory radio so no change there but good news you can always upgrade to sat. or HD radio- so for the price its a great head unit with even greater potential with all the upgrades you could ever want.

Easy install- took about 15 minutes, the nav unit took longer due to running/ hiding the wires, but all turned out seemless.
