Got Kenwood DNX6140 Installed
First off, big thanks to AK370 for his write up and impressions/review. Thanks to Matt (bigaudiofanat) for some helpful information.
I wanted to have Matt fly down but a good friend of mine referred me to someone local he trusted. Thanks anyway Matt for for being willing to fly down. BTW I don't have pictures of the PAC-switch that was also installed. I went ahead and updated this thread: PAC Steering Wheel Control Poll Well Here are the pics: Before Head Unit Bluetooth Mic on Driver's Side A-Pillar Works flawlessly and like AK370 mentioned: crystal clear reception. My buddy didn't even know I was using the mic over the phone. IPOD adapter cable coming through Center armrest console Some ghetto dremmeling here: I'll probably have this slightly re-done with a rubber grommet to keep the IPOD cable from potentially falling back through the hole. Rear view camera above fog light (Got the idea from TZGQ2M Pioneer AVIC-Z110BT and ND-BC2 installed) One note on my camera: I'm thinking about getting one that doesn't have the lines "visual aids to guage distance". Unfortunately in all my excitement, I forgot to take AK370's advice and check for best possible placement for this specific camera. So for now the lines are just in the way rather than being useful: Besides that, everything works perfectly. Once again for anyone else interested in a similar setup with the same camera: look at where you want your camera aligned before you choose to install it. Personally I like where the camera is placed and ironically one of the camera's "helpful" features is something I can do without. I also went ahead and updated my startup splash screen to see how it works. I used DIGItonium's custom pic for now (thanks Dig for the idea!) and It needs a little adjusting. Kenwood and Elemental Designs Install... The image is slightly smaller than the screen so it leaves gaps on either side. For my head unit the pictures need to be 480 x 240 and I'm assuming DIGItonium's are different due to larger screen on head unit? DIG your setup is awesome. My camera sucks but your image I used definitely looks better in person than the pic I uploaded Well in any case, it works. Now I just need to make my own Last edited by dcrew1x; 08-22-2009 at 08:18 PM. |
