hey david, when u use the ipod, if you put the ipod in the USB port instead, u wont have to mess with controlling the volume on the ipod and the head unit. also when u plug it in to the head unit (via USB port), push button 1. it'll say ipod. which allows you to still be able to control the ipod when its plugged in. I have this very same Head unit. u prolly already knew about that. but just in case u ddnt. haha good luck.
i like Kenwoods they have way better sub controls then other models
alpine is alright pioneer is another good one
jvc is getting up theres
sony headunits are pretty good but they have a beepy thing everytime you turn it on and off
kenwoods best in my opinion i dont like using aux i prefer usb i find the 3.5mm jacks can be quite dodgey i get static through mine and sometimes i lose L or R speakers
well if you would plug the ipod into the usb and then press the number 1 on the radio it would go into hands on mode and you can operate it on your ipod then press number 1 again and it will go to hands off and you can use the radio
I got this radio for my 94 Eagle Vision and everything but the tuner is working great...I obviously had great radio reception from my stock unit but I cant get anything but pure static from this system, All the wires that were available to be connected have been including the antenna wire, do you know of any possible solution for me to try, I just cannot figure this one out for the life of me...and help at all would be more than greatly appreciated...
Woops! Like I said its a pimp little deck with hella base.... its like two base settings which will make your speakers sing. I suggest if you got a stock speaker you don't put them up all the way up because you might blow them out... but if you get better speakers of course the sound gets even BETTER! Oh man! I got used to navigating the IPod through USB and the radio interface... its pretty good but you can also do it using USB/IPOD on hand! Oh yeah ITS NOT MADE IN CHINA if your wondering.
i no u like the aux but the usb will sound even better cause the aux is radio sound quality. so somthing to think about. just thought id let you know.
Well the orange and the orange black cable is the dimmer light cables.... hmm... dont remember seeing that in this Kenwood. Lemme check on the guide... LOL.
I was looking at that same Pioneer but I went down to Best Buy and after seeing it in person, I was not happy with it. Try the Alpine CDE-102. Not totally convinced but I think I may go with that one. Its simple, MP3, USB, dual RCA outs and a couple of dollars cheaper than the Pioneer. The only thing is its 2V out where the Pioneer is 4V, bummer.
Everything looks great. But as far as iPod capability, There are better ways. It's a PIA to use an iPhone to use in a car. Having to unlock and look at the touch screen isn't safe. The alternative is to have and iPod controller where you can control your iPhone's music through the head unit without having to touch the iPhone. If you have steering wheel controls, even better.
I used to have one that you control through the head unit, and I did not like that. But I did not have steering wheel controls - that would have made a difference.
"50Wx4" is telling you that it outputs at "50 Watts" by 4, not the head unit model... :)
