Anyone have installed the Kenwood DNX691HD?

Looking to upgrade from the stock 6 disc CD AM/FM.

To hands free, back up camera, steering wheel compatible, gps and all of the other goodies most come with.

My local stereo installer has just showed me a Kenwood and a Pioneer and i am leaning toward the Kenwood. Its a DNX691HD.

Has anyone happen to have this model and can you tell me your thoghts on the unit?

I have a simpler version of a Kenwood touch screen unit without bluetooth and nav and have been happy with it. Had a single din Kenwood in the past that I was also happy with.

Just because they're easy to install, and even all those extras aren't bad at all, I'd take a look at getting the gear from Crutchfield: Could shave off as much as $300+ of install cost.

Yeah, but then you pay him several hundred dollars to install it when it takes 30 minutes lol. Plus if you ever have an issue, you'll know how to fix it cause you put it in, versus needing to take it back to the shop. Unless he sells and install that radio for cheaper, somehow.

I just installed the DNX571HD and am loving it so far. I understand Kenwood has the better line this year. Pioneer had the better product last year. Hope it works out for you.
