ok so i got a new dnx5120 off ebay for 619.99 shipped and got it installed today at best buy. compared to the d3 and f series (just playing with the f series) it is 10 times better, but i will write a review later.

 

now here are my problems:

 

when the nav asks me to turn right, the audio source gets louder and i cant here the guidance directions. how do i fix that?

 

and when i turn off my car i kinda hear a pop sound... i have no amp or anything just the factory bose speakers and etc

 

thanks in advance!

do you have a bose adapter?

i dont think so i let the guys at best buy do it. i know they used the rca cables instead of wiring it like my pervious d3.

take it back to best buy. if they didnt use the adapter id say thats the problem. and if they say thats normal tell them no its not and fix it.

is the popping because they used the rca cables for sound because last time they wired it for sound and also there is a brown wire not connected to anything

the rca's are for your bose amps. no idea what brown is for

I'm not sure if I want a Pioneer or the Kenwood you have. Do you have Bluetooth or Satellite.

 

I'm interested in your experiences.

djhuab I'm looking forward to your review!!!

Although I have the Z3 in my car, I'm using a Garmin 760 for all my routing.

Garmin is infinately better in that department and I understand that the GPS section of the Kenwood unit is in fact supplied by Garmin.

Another thing that I like about the Garmin is that "free" maps can be downloaded and installed. It would be interesting to find out if that also works with the Kenwood.

If this Kenwood is as good as the Garmin 760 then I'll be trading my Z3. :!:
