    I'm hoping they update the whole line up. My brother works in car audio and saw that Kenwood is looking like they are trying to keep one unit you install into your vehicle and then you can use whatever Kenwood screen. Might be kinda cool to be able to just buy a screen and swap it.

    I wish there was a way to turn the Toyota lines off.

    If that was the upgrade, I would be game, for the right price.

    The only way I know how to take them off is to fully replace the camera. And the thing about that is no one makes a replacement that fits the factory housing.

    Just got my DMX1057XR installed with Maestro and am happy to see the transmission temp is one of the available gauges. I couldn't find confirmation that it would be there on a 2008. I've only had a few minutes to check it out, but I like what I've seen so far. This is a big step up from my old Pioneer.

    Finally got around to upgrading my speakers in my 3rd gen to go along with this HU.

    Dash tweeters: Kicker 51KST2504

    Front Door 6x9s: Kicker 51KSC69304

    Rear Door 6 3/4: Kicker 51KSC6704

    Just driven by the KENWOOD amp, but a big upgrade. Things are just cleaner on the speakers now.

    This thing is sweet, but I think I am going up grade to the DMX1058xr… has optical! But no Garmin :/

    My second DNR-1007XR may be up for sale soon!

    I have a 2015 TRD Sport access cab and the original radio screen started to turn white so I replaced it with a KENWOOD dmx709s. It’s paired with a kicker 800.1 amp to a Skar 10” sub. Kicker 4 channel amp running to two kicker CS 6x9’s and 2 kicker CS 6 3/4’s. It sounded amazing!!!!!

    So after 6 months, I decided to upgrade to the dmx1057xr for well… the screen. Anywho, set it to the same settings as the 709s and it sounds muffled. Nothing I do makes it sound even close to the much, much cheaper 709s. Any ideas? Any one experience this?

    I'm torn on wanting to upgrade. If it was just a feature upgrade, I would very much want one, but they are taking out a few features that are kind of nice (Dual Zone is cool when you have kids).
