Any thoughts on Kenwood DDX712?

yes it It also has a 7-step adjustable viewing angle, including a reversible-tilt angle.

 

Very cool, this is just the ticket.

Thanks for the quick response.

 

fyi because the after market face plate has to be snug, the reverse tilt don't work to well. It gets a little stuck.

 

Yes, they include the Scosche kit and wiring harness, all you need.

Yes, you can tilt the screen up and down. I have mine angled perfectly, love it!

 

Well guys,

I took the plunge.

In an effort to get the most bang for my buck, I ended up getting the accessories via Amazon.

Since a new model came out, the DDX712 dropped in price.

At this time (5/4/09, 10:30AM), Crutchfield has this unit for $599.99.
As is standard with Crutchfield, the install kit and wiring comes with the unit.


Crutchfield didn't have some of the accessories in stock, such as the XM package or Ipod cable, so I went to Amazon and got the items for much cheaper:

Audiovox CNP2000 XM Mini Tuner Cartridge
Kenwood KCA-XM100V XM Interface Adapter
Kenwood KNA G510 - Navigation system
Kenwood KCA-iP300V iPod Video Direct Cable
Kenwood CCD-2000 Rear-View Camera

Total via Amazon: 586.64 for all of the above.

All total, including shipping, I spent $1186.63 for everything.....not too bad.

Had I gone through Crutchfield for the accessories (of which some were not in stock), I would have paid $1559.94.

By getting the accessories via Amazon, I saved $373.31.

Not knocking Crutchfield, but I think they overcharge for quite a few items. In this case, they had the best price on the net for the DDX712.



One more question for you guys who have the rear-view camera.

where did you all mount the rear-view camera for the best viewing angle? Got any pics?
