I just sold my avic z1 and I'm going to install a kenwood 7100 on monday. I love the avic, the only thing that i hate is the ipod interface. It's really, really slow. That's why I'm going with kenwood. My buddy just got one and the interface is super fast. I'll post pic's once it's done.

 

Fantastic. Cannot wait to see. I am waiting now during the winter and plan on this being my Spring mod so your experience will be very helpful.

Thanks,

Paul

 

Kenwood or Pioneer NAVI systems did you guys have to get a new AMP to run the subs/speakers too?? I was told I would need at least a 5 or 6 channel AMP to run my current OEM system??(Bose Premium) Installer said 2003 and up utilize Fiber Optics and the Porsche OEM AMP cannot be used with any other head unit? Thanks..

 

5 channel amp will suffice. If you add a sub, definitely need some more juice. If you upgrade your speakers, definitely get an amp. You can damage your speakers by distorting them from NOT enough power, and sonically, more power means cleaner sound. Small investment, but major benefits. I had to utilize a JL Clean Sweep interface in order to retain my stock NAV/headunit.

 

Hey guys want to get a Nav unit like you guys. Im confused though on how you can set up how the order of the interior things go I.E HVAC Controls and CD Storage Case? Mine now goes OEM HVAC Controls..Radio...then CD Case..finally empty storage slot. I would like it like Newport has it Nav Unit then CD Case..then HVAC Controls, can these parts just move into another slot below? If I take it to Tweeter can they move all these things how I would like them? Thanks guys, your cars look sweet BTW w the Nav Units

This is pure sex setup love it. I want it I am now.

Somebody please tell me who does this kind of installation work in DFW Area with AC controls modification?

Now I am guessing your factory amp will not work with this system? What other electronic components do I need?

Appreciate any help on the subject.

 

I have the Kenwood DNX 7100 and I think it's a great unit.

 

I installed JL audio 6ch AMP with Alpine IVA-D105/Blackbird set. It doesn't sound good, so thinking to install focal... but They don't have right size.... anyone has good recomendation?

Any problems with your product from Amazon? I went on websites and they 1400 for the unit, surfed the web at Amazon its 930 and other stores. Just wondering if this is legit. Also anyone have the camera put on the car? Thanks

 

As an alternative MB Quart QSC 210 model sound good in my car driven by pioneer Avic D3 HD and alpine PDX 4.100 amp.

 

can you please tell me how can i change the kenwood´s background?? that function in mine is locked, i have the images in a dvd.
thank you

 

What is the best place for mounting the rear view camera on 996 with 7100 ?? Anybody else has it on 996 is it usefull or just bling?

Tomorrow is instalation day.

 

Is there a bypass on the kenwood 7100 so i can watch dvd's while i'm driving? On the Z1 there was a bypass chip I have to buy. What's the method on the 7100?

 

Check out http://www.criticalmassaudio.com. I had the door speakers replaced and a fiberglass enclosure w/ 10" sub constructed and mounted in the passenger footwell. Sounds awesome. Thinking of installing tweeters in the rear view mirror if I can only find some way of hiding the speaker wire. If you need good pricing, PM me and I'll foward my contact for good pricing.

 

Has anybody tried pluging in a iphone into the ipod port on your kenwood 7100? I wonder if it would work the same as far as music/movies and pictures are concerned.
