Any one have the Kenwood DNX8120 ?
this is what i found on the kenwood site
Acceptable picture files
Extension .jpg, .jpeg, .jpe
Format JPEG
Baseline format Up to a maximum of 8192(W) × 7680(H) pixels
Progressive format Up to a maximum of 1600(W) × 1200(H) pixels
Got my install finished turned out nice but man did it take a long time to do it right around 8-10 hours total. the over head monitor took the longest. could do the next one faster but didn't want to mess up the head liner since the truck only has 800 miles on it. and all i can say is wow this thing sound a lot better than the stock unit.

Sweet, I have the DNX7100, which is last years model. Basically the same thing but yours is easier to change background. You will love it, it's bad *** and I have had for over year with no problems. I have Bluetooth, Sirius, Video Ipod, Back-up camera, and Nav/DVD hooked up so viewable when vehicle moving. Probably the coolest thing I've put in my 07 FX4...
same thing. It becomes habit for me now to make sure I hit the nav screen after a bluetooth call has been started. At least I can see the map so I can see the turns otherwise "woops"
Can't give you an answer for that as I have no ipod. I thought all you have to do is plug it into the usb port.
Question
I'll let you know when it gets here. I have eleven 7120s on back order and three 8120s as well. One of the 8120s to be replacing my DNX8019 in my truck. I was to get my hands on 6 of my back ordered units last monday when Kenwood issued a nationwide recall on them for a issue with the navigation memory locking up. Makes my wait a little longer. All my customers have been pretty cool about it though but the clock is ticking.
The antenna is re-usable, the tuner is not compatible.
You will need a kenwood sirius tuner for that unit, You can use your factory antenna you just have to remove some of the plastic plug on it i belive. the actual antenna plug is the same just the outside square lock plug is not.
Theres a thread somewhere around here showing how to remove the outer lock plug so that you can use your stock antenna.
Hi guys, I know this may not be the right place for this, but can someone point me in the right path. I have the DNX8120, but for some reason I can't find the setting that allow me to change the bluetooth audio to the drivers side front speaker. currently it is coming from the passenger front speaker.
Thanks
Thanks
I've had the 8120 since Feb and really like it. Some settings are pretty hidden in some menus, but some searching will find them. Not as easy to change the startup background as kenwood makes it sound, but the write-ups on this site make it a breeze.
Kenwood DNX8120,
Need some help:
Does anyone know (Travis), if Kenwood is coming out with a Software Version upgrade?
My concern is that I use a Blackberry Curve 8330 and it doesnt communicate the text with the DNX. I think this sucks as the Curve is one of the most popular phones on the market.
Also, has anyone upgrade their Garmin Maps to 2010 yet? Either through the USB or SD slot.
At first I rated the unti a 9/10. After owning it two years I am down to a 6/10.
I frequently have to use a pen to rest the head unit as it goes in to "protect".
I also get frustrated as there is not a setting to have the time change as you travel across time zones.
Thanks for your help in advance.
