Thoughts on Kenwood DDX9907XR Head Unit

Any thoughts on the Kenwood DDX9907XR head unit. https://www.kenwood.com/usa/car/excelon/ddx9907xr/


I currently have the stock entune head unit in my 2014 DCSB. However, I have a Kicker Key powering a set of components up from and the stock rear speakers. I am planning on replacing the stock rear speakers soon. I have an LC2i converting the signal to feed into a Fosgate amp that drives a single 10” sub located behind the rear passenger seat.


I had thoughts about trying to figure out a mounting solution to install the Pioneer DMH-WC6600NEX, but I just don’t think it is going to work. Plus, I have come to the realization that I have a lot of music on CD’s that I still listen to. Yah I know, but for me it would be a serious pain to convert all of them to digital. Also, I have a lot of CD’s that I made while on deployments that don’t have accurate titles on them (song/artist). They are listed as track 1, track 2, and so on. Going through and assigning all of the info would take a lot more time than I am willing to devote to it.

I do not like the floating screen look. I greatly prefer the flush looking head units. I use Waze and like that it can display on the head unit so I can get rid of my phone holder that bounces around and drives me crazy.

 

Can’t go wrong with the Kenwood Excelon stuff.

 

I have only used Kenwood since my 1998 Tacoma and wouldn't use anything else go for it.

 

I have the 9907XR is in my daily... it’s awesome!!

wireless CarPlay/android Auto

hi res audio!

100% recommend! If you don’t listen to CDs, you can save a couple hundred and get the DMX957XR, everything else is the same.

edit: I see your sentence on CDs now. Put all of them on a flash drive and stuff it in the glove box on the 2nd USB haha

 

Awesome, thanks everyone. I finally have something to put on my Christmas list.

 

Glad to hear the positive review. The DMX957XR is on my christmas list. It's just always OOS on crutchfield.
