Scion tC RS 4.0 Kenwood DDX-512 Navigation System KNA-G510 Review

[itsme729]

you in jersey?

[Rudyr123]

@itsme729 Yeah I'm in Jersey.

[beaniejump]

how did you change the lights in your car (the clock and the gauges)?

[Rudyr123]

@beaniejump You have to do a LED swap.

[GTboy96]

Nice car! And were you in Queens or Brooklyn? The area looks familiar.

[Rudyr123]

@GTboy96 Close! I'm in jersey.

[grnkronic20]

Once you install the Kenwood, do the buttons on the steering wheel still work with the new system?

[Rudyr123]

@grnkronic20 No, you have to buy the module for the steering wheel controls if you want.

I have had the ddx512 for over 2 years with the bluetooth and navigation. I personally think that it is the best screen and nav on the market. I have had over 10 different screens and this is by far the best. I had one of the first indash radios that you had to pull out and flip up with a hidden unit in 2000. Well worth the money and easy to install. I have a chevy silverado so I had to buy a cpu for it to work. You need a cpu for everything you install on a chevy. It sucks.

i have a ddx 514 that i was thinking of installing in my scion but i was wondering does the lid still close with tht head unit?? the ddx 514 is just the new model of yours

[DavidLopez3594]

is that a police scanner on your windshield? lol.

[Rudyr123]

@DavidLopez3594 Close. It's a radar detector. It notifies me when any radars are around. So if any cop has their speed gun on it'll detect it. It saves me from speeding tickets !

[pinman336]

You are a accident waiting to happen.

[Rudyr123]

@pinman336 Because I have a Navigation?

[narutocaprirequest2]

@Rudyr123

because your speeding or it sounds like your speeding and you got a cam on at the same time lol, I think that's what he means ? But nice car man, im getting a 2010 scion tC soon.

[Rudyr123]

@narutocaprirequest2 Lol nahhh I only hit 80mph for a split second :-p. If you want to save a couple thousand get a 2009. 2008 - 2010 tCs have the same options and you can't tell the difference of the year unless you tell someone OR if you have a RS like I do.

[OI8APC2]

@Rudyr123 Your exhaust sounds amazing. I just bought the '11 TC last week and was wondering what exhaust you put on there. I'm pretty sure that is not stock huh? Mine don't sound that good.

[Rudyr123]

@OI8APC2 lol no that's not stock. It's the TRD exhaust. A lot of people don't like it but those are the people that like exhausts that sound like weedwackers.

[hector1234]

does this kenwood play cds?

[Rudyr123]

@hector1234 Yeah it plays cds perfectly fine.

[hector1234]

does this kenwood play cds?

[TRAVI3ZO100]

Rudy123 i have a question about the navigation, i just install my ddx512 but the nav system dosen't work, can you please tell me, what i need or what i have to buy it to make it work.....

[Rudyr123]

@TRAVI3ZO100 Stupid question but did you purchase the KNA-G510 module? The DDX-512 needs that module in order to have the GPS.

[latinodancer15]

This you install this yourself, or did you get professionally done?

I have a DNX5140, and I had installed only that the cover doesn't go all the way down. Very ugly looking, in my opinion.

Does yours fit in there good?

[Rudyr123]

@latinodancer15 Yeah I installed this myself. The reason your door isn't closing is because the volume button is hitting. I drilled holes in the stock mounts and pushed the radio back a bit and grinded down the bump behind the door.

[latinodancer15]

@Rudyr123 Hmmm, I really want to do that. Anymore suggestions getting that sucker in?

[airwalka182]

hey, ive watched several of your videos and have found them very useful!! I just bought the kna-g510 and im installing it myself, did you just splice the battery wire and the ignition wire with the radio harness? the intructions say to go through the fuse box but ive heard others say this its doable and a lot easier just going through the radio harness.

thanks for the help

[Rudyr123]

@airwalka182 Hey sorry about the late response I didn't get a email stating I had a comment. Did you get it working?

[Techolover21]

Do ur steering wheel volume Controls still work with this upgrade??

[Techolover21]

how much was the navigation bro?? i wanna put one on mt tc

[Rudyr123]

I got it for $550.00

[Mr07uncut]

how do u watch the movie while driving. what do i do?? i

[Rudyr123]

You need to ground the parking brake wire.

[ThisIsNotJerry]

how much extra does it cost to have the navigation with the tC?

[Rudyr123]

NOT worth getting the navigation that Scion offers. I believe it's about $1900 - $2000 extra.

[bryanbboy94]

nice vid.. im planing to buy a scion also and a navigation system...plz make a vid on how to intall it

[Rudyr123]

It's pretty easy Crutchfield has an installation PNP harness that makes your life installing this so much easier.

[Rudyr123]

Also the cabin is real quiet the only noise I hear is my exhaust when I have the radio turned off.

[Rudyr123]

Hey man thanks.. It only has a 2.4L 4 Cyl but for being what it is, it actually has some power to it. Of course, your not going to have as much power as a 6 Cyl but I still like it. It's great on gas too.

What your hearing is my exhaust and my short ram intake. This car is absolutely worth getting simply because you can do so much to it!

The stock sound system was pretty good too but I needed more bass.
