For those looking to go aftermarket!

WARNING:The guy giving the presentation is a lil RainMain-ish. But its informative looks like a good HU

Doh, I can't view it. Kenwood is releasing new models this Spring, and the DNX9140 is the latest flagship. I was currently looking into getting the DDX812 since I don't need navigation, but it appears I'll be waiting for the DDX814 (Mar/April release) instead.

That guy is REALLY nerdy.

The system seems slow. I'm not sure if it's just that I'm just impatient, but it takes it a while for that think to switch modes... I'd be happy if it didn't do all that animation crap. Skipping that stuff would likely speed things up a bit. I want to hear my radio, not watch it.

Yea I agree the interface seems a little I don't know cheesy not something I'd expect from kenwood especially from a HU that has so many features.

The DNX9140 I just read about it it does everything that the OEM Nav does WOW. Voice Commands anyone. But its expensive

Voice command in any head-unit will NEVER beat the stock voice command in the Nissan.

I say "Temperature 72" and it sets the temp to 72F.
I say "1059" and it sets my radio to 105.9FM
I say "Directions to home" and it sets the GPS destination to my house.
I say "Dial <name>" or "Dial <number>" and it does it!

How can you beat that!? I never trained it! It just understands me.

Hmmm I wonder if they refined it then. From reading on the G37 forums about the same nav system the Voice command seems to be the feature everyone hates the most.

I use the one in my M35 and it's freaking great! But I have to admit, it doesn't like accents very much! I actually speak very clearly no matter what and I have no hint of an accent.

But either way, I NEVER have issues telling it what to do, even with the windows down.

Crash 01-17-2009 09:59 PM

I'll take some video of me using it and post it up here. It's really simple.

Nice this is in your M35? Anyone have a demo of the 370z aftermarket Nav voice commands?

Asheth 01-18-2009 08:42 AM

Found one all these commands should be the same for the 370z OEM Nav

Just took a little looking on Myg37:

And this one from G37Tech:

Yeah, that's my M35. You can see that the voice command actually works great.

From that other video, it sounds like the girls voice has been updated.
