New Kenwood Deck Installed!! :)
I received my Kenwood KIV-701 Digital media receiver today in the mail. I got it installed tonight too and dang this thing is awesome!! :D It sounds fantastic! I played around a little with the settings (there are a lot) and tried to get a feel for the user interface. It's definitely more complex than any unit I've had before, and it looks like I've got some learning to do. It seems to do just about everything a double din player can do minus nav, in a single din unit. Right now I've got it hooked up to a USB drive. I don't have an Ipod however, as this unit is very Ipod oriented. It works great though. I can also use aux in with my Droid, but it doesn't display the song info.
Here are some pics: Right when I got it out of the box. Since this is a Digital Media Receiver, there is no CD slot. This means more room for a nice display. And this thing is nice for being a single din. I like the clean face. Only a few buttons. http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l1...e/DSC01469.jpg http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l1...e/DSC01471.jpg The rear. It has 3 sets of preamps which I am planning to use in the future. Right now I am only using the subwoofer out. It also has usb, aux in, video out, ipod input, rear view camera input, and a few others. http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l1...e/DSC01470.jpg Making my wiring harness. Pretty simple. http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l1...DSC01474-1.jpg It was snowing and dark, but I got it installed. It has a feature where you can set the color of the LEDs on the display to any color. I was real excited for this so I could match the other blue LEDs of my dash. http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l1...e/DSC01475.jpg Close up at night. http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l1...e/DSC01479.jpg With Flash. http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l1...e/DSC01491.jpg I'll get some better pics in the daytime and post those up too.. but I was too excited I had to show you all tonight :p So far I'm liking it! :) Thanks for looking as always! |

I'm not a huge fan of the big knobs, I think they take up a lot of space that could be used for more screen lol but I like this one and it looks good! :thumbsup: |
