calling all kenwood owners

DIGItonium

I have a DDX814 waiting to get installed this weekend. It's a relatively simple setup. Front and Sub pre-outs to a pair of NINE.2 amps. That's it!

DNX-6140 Owner here and I am very happy with it. I love the bluetooth connectivity. Very precise and does it's job amazingly. The GPS (by Garmin) is very user friendly. Sound quality is pretty good. Also, you can match the button color to interior accent (you may click on my thread in the sig to see the pic). I say go for it.

ak...when you say the sound quality is pretty good, does that mean its not that good lol? i really want my new head unit to make my system sound good. maybe kenwoods dont have good sound quality?

Hmm...I thinking of doing either a double-din Kenwood or Alpine. Are you changing the speakers? I'm in the Tampa metro area as well and would like to hear what it sounds like. Post back what brand you finally decided to purchase. I sometimes attend the 350 Club of Florida monthly meetings held at Nissan of Brandon.

Hey DIGI, I was thinking of getting the same headunit. Can you let me know how the install was? I'm particularly interested in the fit (does it need a face plate to make it flush?) and how easy was the parking bypass for video on the run (I hope it is as simple as grounding the parking wire on the stereo). Please also let me know if there was any bumps along the way in the install. I am DIY'ing it (first timer). Thanks in advance.

If you do not have the touring model and own the base, then you don't need a faceplate or dash kit for the kenwood double din head units.

Here are a few interesting threads you might want to look into that will answer some of your questions:

thanks, I may have missed something but I didnt notice that there was an explanation on how the unit bypasses the parking break for video.

Hey there... the fit and finish is excellent. I have the Base model. All I needed was a Nissan factory harness and power antenna adapter. As for the parking brake wire, I grounded it.

If you plan to install an amp and sub in the back, try to route the remote and audio cables through the center console towards the back.

The install required some patience, and it went very well. I was able to hide just about everything besides the sub in the trunk haha. Would I do this install again? No... too lazy haha.
