    I am a bit frustrated with one thing with my Kenwood HU upgrade....and it's the warning image that is stays on the screen the entire time. I understand the reason for the msg but both the placement and shading suck for my driveway and street.

    Can anyone send me a respectable image of your screen from the OEM HU with the message displayed. I thought it was "better" then what I have now. From the image I will post a before/after pic with my screen and see if I can get Kenwood to consider a tweak. Can't hurt to ask but I though the OEM image was better.

    Thanks TW!


    UPDATE#1: I did just find this which is at least helpful for my needs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Wen-zpXoyY

    That's the one complaint with my Kenwood HU also, but when in reverse tap the screen and the message goes away.

    Thanks @jstemp - that's a workable solution!

    I emailed Kenwood about this also, doesn't sound like they plan on changing it anytime soon. Maybe with enough complaints they will move the message, really anywhere but where it's at would be better.
