Kenwood DNX693S 6.2" eXcelon Double-DIN AV Navigation System with Bluetooth

Very happy with the radio and functions. I do recommend if you are planning to buy also get the 4 year warranty

one could complain about the agree to notice but the unit works well.one nice function is the backup camera works right away, if you wire it direct and not through the serial data link , I purchased the iq5 which is a little slow to boot up

They make you send all this stuff for a rebate but at the end they tell you cant get one. I will never buy another kenwood product ever. Their customer service is so garbage. As far as the product. It takes about a full minute or two to start up and it doesnt fit snug (2016 jeepwrangler) theres really nothing too special. I might even think about selling this and get an alpine or pioneer.

Works well. Navigation is easy to use.

I just recently purchased the new "Kenwood DNX693S" model and installed on my vehicle today from a stereo shop, so my review is not based on any transaction from Amazon, but the actual product itself. Unfortunately just like how others have complained, I find the message that reads"Operating this product while driving could be distracting or dangerous if not done in a careful manner. When operating this product the driver's priority should be focused on obeying all traffic rules. You assume all risk of using this product." to be an extreme nuisance.I understand the reasoning behind this, but to not display the screen to normal menu mode until you press the "Close" button is horrible User Interface design. At least there should be an option that it turns off that menu screen and automatically closes after 10 seconds just like OEM cars that have built in navigation into their radio. I don't understand the reasoning behind this, as it creates a safety issue because now I have to take my eyes off the road to press the tiny "Close" button to see the menu which could result into an accident.The preference would be to allow the user to simply disable this menu option and you could add a notice on the screen that allows user to check a box that reads "by opting out that removes all liability from Kenwood..." or at least allow users to turn this message off in the settings.I really hope that Kenwood plans to update the Software on this radio as I would like to keep this radio in my car and was planning to purchase another exact same model for my other car, however with this annoying message on the screen and no option to turn it off automatically without requiring the user to press a button, I might just not purchase another same head and return the one I have and go with completely different company brand.Although this might seem like a minor issue for someone, but I'm not the only person complaining about this issue as I have read the reviews on Crutchfield, but I might be the only one taking the time out of his day to plead to update the Software and allow us to disable this message.If Kenwood would allow us to remove this annoying startup message automatically without having to press any close button, then I would increase the start rating, but until they do I can only give a 1 Star.

my gf liked my Pioneer nex 5000 so I got this for her chevy cruiseI got the wiring harness and dash kit adds some serious $$ to the install if you are timid about cutting the plastic behind the radio pay a pro! I did the install myself and it was a bit scary to cut but .... the factory unit is single din with a double din display (certified junk) FYI//this is great I love the "KNOB" I have push button :( makes volume control so much easiergarmin is garmin very slick and direct love thisit has options to exact speaker size and location wow more audio tricks than needed but fun for us audio geeksback up cam is factory and fuzzy/ plan on getting a direct cam not one that runs through the factory harnessthe lan-10 harness seems daunting but directions are key and its easy once assembled its plug and play//iphone synched up and car play is good seems odd only one usb is for iphone when I accidently hit the other usb it said not for apple play oh well hit the right one and it was good going to have to mark that one for reference//makes calls reads text makes text plays musicUPDATE added an audio pipe 1600w 5 channel amp and its incredible // good sounds now come from this cruze!The one caveat is that the cd is really hard to make work I can only use when I eject and push it back in then the controls come up but its like Kenwood does not want that feature used much // it is a pain hence 4 starssound is far advanced over factory its like night and day and hd has so many stations it is greatwell worth the price will update if neededfive channel amp is on the wish list

I actually have the Kenwood DNX893S. I like the unit it has one of the best audio, but I am ready to throw it out! How can thinking people design it so I have to accept the warning every time for it to work?? Do I need to okay a prompt every time I breathe too? Give me a break.Does anyone know how to disable this?

I have nothing to complain about, looks and functions are amazing, navigation & software are all up to date, nothing to update! I installed this with the Metra Axxess ASWC-1 Universal Steering Wheel Control, installation went smoothly, the warning message that pops up every start up doesn't bother me since all the programs are still loading in the background it doesn't delay the start up, i got so used to it that i hardly notice that i have already clicked the agree button for the warning message, it only takes a second to remove the warning message.
