This is easy to install. I hooked it up to a 5120. powered through the head unit cable you can't get any easier than this. only problem is the sound quality sucks compared to standalone units like the xm xpress or the sirius starmate, etc. The sirius tuner SCC1 is the same--low fidelity. I know satellite isn't high fidelity audio, but the satellite receiver modules from Kenwood just don't sound good through the 5120, in my opinion. You're better off getting a Sportster, Xpress, or starmate. Better control interface with the standalone units, as well.

Got this unit to go with my Kenwood DNX7120. There's not much I can say. It works quite well, the system recognized it without problem and it acts as one integrated unit. I ended up putting this unit in my glove box .... the DNX7120 + bluetooth module + steering wheel remote adaptor took up enough space that there wasn't room for this behind the dash as well. But placing this is the glove box has one good effect, I can access the XM tuner chip quite easily, and if I had a home XM device I could easily swap it around without paying for a separate subscription.

This Kenwood unit seems to be designed for specific Kenwood headunits, make sure that whatever headunit you have is compatible with this item before you order it.

Works great right out of the box - Switching channels is fast - easy to install

Works exactly as advertised. It is small and easily installed nearly anywhere. Great product.

works great kinda it works if your in town on the mail street but as soon as you pass a big building or go under a tree static if you dive in the hills static if you pass a big truck static i recommend not buying this but buying a hand unit so you can use it were ever you got and they get better signal strength i know people that have the hand unit and dont have any of the problems that this unit have waste of money im looking into a nice hand one that i can get for cheap

Unit works well with my Kenwood 512, be sure to buy the XM mini tuner cnp2000.
