KENWOOD DMX958XR EXCELON REFERENCE 6.8" Full HD Capacitive Touchscreen Car Stereo Receiver, Wireless Apple Carplay/Android Auto, Bluetooth, AM/FM HD Radio, MP3 Player, USB Port, Double DIN, SiriusXM

There is only one wire that is on the harness for adding steering controls, so I'm not sure if you can with an older vehicle. I installed this into a 2008 Corvette. It fit great, sounds great, looks great and has 4 inputs for cameras that I wanted for blindspots when parking to avoid curbs. Unfortunately the 4th camera input is in the form of a headphone jack with a video plug that wasn't included. You'd have to order it separately or use a camera switcher which would also work but would also defeat the purpose of wanting 4 inputs. I like that you can change the background as well and if you ground the parking brake switchand have an android, you can screen mirror for watching YouTube wirelessly....or hockey, depending on what you're into. Apple car play also wors wirelessly. overall both systems work great and this headunit is pretty awesome. I highly recommend this

I have been putting systems in my cars since the 90's. This is by far the best deck I have had in long time maybe ever. I have ran Pioneer, Alpine, JVC, Sony and of course Kenwood. The last Pioneer deck I had " 1770 NEX" was a terrible deck and Pioneers quality control on multiple different decks is bad. Basically the board on the Pioneers go bad after a year or two. I decided to go back to Kenwood and boy am I glad I did. If you don't run a full setup - meaning amps with your deck than there are cheaper Kenwood decks that will do you well. But this deck has 5 volt outputs for people that run amps this means cleaner and louder sound. And this deck has separate controls for the sub and crossover points for tuning. This deck has way more programmability than any other deck I have used and way more than the Pioneer deck I had. The sound imaging that I can dial in is absolutely fantastic! There are many choices to give the sound stage just about any type that you want in your vehicle. I run this in a 2011 Ford F-350 and all the options for bringing the highs and lows together to be musical and not just overbearing bass is simply awesome. The menu is intuitive and makes a little exploring very rewarding. The screen clarity in daylight is great, very sharp. If you are looking for a deck that can bring your amps and car media all together than you have found a very good spot to start. Are there better decks out there, yes and Kenwood makes them, but for the price point? Nope, just a smile on your face when you crank that dial up.....

This is an amazing unit, top quality and super fast to start and connectivity

This item was not “new” it’s either refurbished or an open box. The price of the item should reflect accordingly.

Its a really good headunit, it has a lot of good things going for it, very few bad. Great things - Screen is amazing, much better than Pioneer, the resolution is higher and the color is much more vivid. - Very fluid, pioneer was very lagish, this is not to the level of modern phones, but its not bad, good improvement. - Quality of sound, you can call it placebo, but i do think there is a very tangible sound improvement over my past pioneer head unit. - 5v Pre outs, a good unit to plan on amplification. - Great format support, even videos run very fluid. Audio wise, it can play almost all my formats, i think one i cant, but cant remember which. BAD - Menus and browsing, its not bad, but its not intuitive, i feel pioneer is much better organizing their menus. - Waze and GPS, not sure what's wrong still, could be my side, but I cant always get a clear signal from the GPS antenna, making it not as reliable on carplay as my pioneer was. - Att button, i would have prefer a MUTE button, its a small thing, but I prefer to mute fully in case i enter a drive through or I'm stop by police, etc. I don't see the gain of att over muting. - Fan, i cant hear it, so don't worry about it making noise, i just see it as a liability, in case it wears down over time, i feel Sony new headunits are fanless, so should be this unit, there is space for a big heatsink now that we don't have optical drives, but not a big deal either. Overall i feel its a very good head unit, this and Sony 6000 should be in the short lists of anyone looking for a modern double din head unit, i feel sound wise, Kenwood > Sony, but to each to its own, both are great units.
