  1. Picky isn't the word. I went thru h*ll and high water just to get the unit to function properly. After all that I didn't even think about the steering wheel controls. I don't miss it too much so may just pass on that option.
  2. If I did a video for you guys, how do I post it?
  3. Go ahead and go with the Kenwood. You won't regret it!
  4. I've been happy with my DNX7100. I don't have bluetooth or XM so I couldn't give you any info on that. I plan to get bluetooth soon. I hear the call quality is good.
  5. Check the D3 section...it's discussed at length there. I have the D3 and don't have any complaints. As far as the cartoon maps, I guess it depends on how close you zoom on the maps. I had to use it on a trip to Florida and it worked like a charm. Ipod is same speed as if you were listening to your ipod...bypass is simple...album art...no hdd but it does have the nav maps on an sd card and is easily upgradable. Kenwood did a great job and probably need to pay me for marketing because they really didn't push this great product they have. I haven't done the bluetooth yet so I can't comment on tha
  6. I know with my vehicle (05 Chrysler 300C), I had to turn all the volume, treble, and bass levels to zero before I disconnected the factory system before I installed the aftermarket system. I'm not sure what type of vehicle you have but that probably would have helped.
  7. Not to flame you or anything but c'mon guys, ya'll have to be realistic. It's a give and take situation. For the money people are paying for the D3, you get a pretty good deal. You can't expect for this system to have everything for only $850....If you want all the bells and whistles you need to get a Z1, Z2, or the Kenwood DNX7100.
  8. Sorry fellas but I'm out of town now...I'll be back in later this week and will be able to post more pics and i'll try the video. The interface is very fluid and fast. I'm very satisfied with the unit at this point. The D3 looks nice but at this point I don't have a reason to change.
  9. Here are a few pics...I'll try to get more pics later...I need to drive around a little and see how well the nav works. ipod controls are just as fast as controlling a cd in the head unit. install was very fast and of course the kenwood bypass is very simple. maps can be upgraded by sd card. interface is pretty nice....let me know of any questions you may have and i'll check for you.
  10. I think I did see another forum for other navigation systems but the fact that there were members that posted in this area about this particular system is the reason I posted here. Just trying to help out other members.
  11. First I want to say that the D3 installs are looking real good. I took a gamble with the Kenwood unit so I'll see if it pays off. If it doesn't, I'll sell it and try the D3. I'm man enough to admit if I make a mistake. This is not an intent to start a flame war at all. I know some members were going back and forth with the Z1, D3, and the Kenwood 7100. From reading the manual, it almost appears that the 7100 was made to compare with the Z2. The only reason I was in the situation of choosing between the D3 and the 7100 is the price difference was only $250. I'm about to install in my 05 Chrysle
  12. You make a good point with the MSRP difference on these units. The only reason I even compared them is because I caught a kenwood unit for $1199 so I decided to kick out the extra $250...for the differences in the unit, I think it'll be worth the $250. If I did not find the deal and it was the $700 difference, it would be the D3 without a doubt.
  13. That's strange....I ordered one for my wife on the 4th and I got a notice saying that it's shipped.
  14. I actually saw it posted on a forum by a shop owner. I purchased the last one he had left today. Not sure when he'll be getting more.
  15. I actually like the ipod screen with it showing the album art and everything. I understand that the nav is supposed to be similar to the Z2....giving street names and also getting you to the exact location and not just in the vacinity. But I'll definitely let you know what i think....I'm going to try to install it tomorrow evening or saturday morning.
