GPS any music you love to hear or movies, and all your contacts list.

Is this a comparable radio to the kenwood 1057xr with the floating 10.1 screen..yes the screen is smaller but is it the same type of screen..the only major difference I see for my Apple CarPlay daily driver purposed is the screen size and price
Yes, this radio is identical to the DMX1057XR, only difference being the small 7" screen versus the DMX1057XR's 10.1" screen. If you don't need or want the larger screen, then this is for you. However, they just released the DMX958XR, which is 2023 version. We will have a review up soon.
@@LockdownSecurity from what I’ve seen it’s the same head unit..and the review I seen tested for true 5v output from the pre ours and it wasn’t a true 5v output and it apparently has quite a loud hissing noise on some models that can be heard when the car is off..I’m referring to the 958xr
kenwood, although a bit pricey, would be a good upgrade for your element. If you plan to add a rear view camera in the future (which is a very useful addition/and not complicated), your radio is already capable. I have an older model kenwood dmx for my 07 element, but not as good UI as my kenwood dmx906 on my 16crv. This is a newer model which should be almost the same as my 2019 dmx
Rodney Goldsmith I downloaded the kenwood mirroring app and got everything setup in my iPhone but it does not show me mirroring option under Kenwood bluetooth settings
Rodney Goldsmith i knew someone would suggest the most obvious thing lol. we know how to read and follow directions. glad to see i’m not the only one having this problem.
If I’m tying into the factory amp with a harness am I getting the advantage of the better preamps in this radio? Vehicle is a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee with factory sub. Thanks!
How do you do wired screen mirroring for iPhone and can you buy 3 cameras that have sensors instead and the back up camera already installed Honda Civic 2015 coupe
Ill never buy a kenwood excelon again, i kept getting dc offset error, spent a ton only to have it fixed for a little bit and come back, bought same model from someone, same thing just happened after a year. never again. dont buy from kenwood. they're garbage
Can anyone confirm this unit can run android auto wireless automatically? Kenwood support said I need to tap the android auto button each time to start it up. if so that is really annoying.
Is there an equivalent receiver that also has GPS navigation built in? From what I've been told, Pioneer is the vendor that provides this feature, plus their map data is free upgrades. I don't know if this is true, though, just anecdotal data. I'm still hunting for that elusive receiver that has GPS navigation with free lifetime maps, mechanical buttons, good quality wireless mirroring, and iDataLink Maestro that can connect it to my Honda 2009 Civic EX sedan with navigation.
Yes there is the DNX997XR, as linked to below: lockdownsecuritycanada.ca/products/kenwood-excelon-dnx997xr-gps-navigation-receiver-with-apple-carplay-and-android-auto
GO into the menu, find the factory restore/reset menu, hit reset. Or unplug the radio for 10 - 30 seconds. Or, disconnect your battery for a few minutes.
Tough to show this, as it is depending on the specific Android phone to enable wireless mirroring, and for example, my personal phone is a Google Pixel 5, which does NOT provide wireless mirror support, without using a Chromecast device (which itself, requires a radio with an HDMi connection). Smartphone mirroring is a very gray area feature in the car stereo industry, as not all phone support it, not all radios support it, and some (like Kenwood) have apps you use, which will only do mirroring via USB connection.
@@LockdownSecurity Thanks. I already have the 9707 ready to install so I think I'll just stick with that. Do you know if either has the ability to connect to a media server? This is going in a bus and it would be nice be able to use local content on the road.
A 1280x720 screen would be 921,600 pixels but Kenwood claims it's 2,764,800. A 1920x1080 screen comes in at 2,073,600 pixels. So at this price point I'm not going to waste my money on a product built by a company that can't manage to do basic math🤔
@@alexssnd I have dnx9140 on one of my car and it's same as newest model except mirroring feature and it has old interface. That's about it. It seems like Kenwood didn't add anything since early 2000 until nowadays.
@@yogipower1598 yeah how about that slow boot like 30 seconds its too much,im switching between this and a Dinavin or Navos unit with a 9 inch screen ,but thats it just a big Screen not big features on this last,no wireless connection to phone and cant read more than 64 gb ,also no fast charging,radio is a joke,im checking the Kenwood DNR1007XR 10.1 and DMX1037S they do have wireless mirroring,still overpriced iI think since they now do not have apps Spotify and Pandora built in,and I believe still have a slow boot so I read somewhere,not sure

I wish it would auto launch aa when i start my car like my old pioneer 4400. Its annoying to press the icon everytime.
I know it's been 3 years but how is your Kenwood excelon? Is it still working great for you?
Why is it still big as fuck when it doesn’t play CDs?
Great question, we aren't sure to be honest.
It's 2022 now. What is this year's version of the DMX957XR? Also, how does one find out which Android devices it is compatible with?
The DMX957XR is staying current for 2022, there are no upcoming new models for 2022
Question. I am a photographer is there a way to upload my own photos for the background?
Yes you can load images via USB key to customize the background image.

Don’t understand why it doesn’t have a shortened chassis since its mechless.
Yeah thats the main reason i need mechlass because i have a panther car
It uses the same circuit board as a mech so it can't be shorter unfortunately
What would be a good option similar to this radio without the camera inputs for a 2008 Honda Element?
kenwood, although a bit pricey, would be a good upgrade for your element.

just bought one. I love it. I was worried it would be hard to find after using a very old touch screen. this is definitely worth the price.
How do the buttons feel, premium? The cheap kenwood, jvc, etc. single dins always feel really clicky and cheap.
@@alxbl324 these feel great its been two months I think. no issues just premium.

Sorry bout the brain injury. Don't forget to wear that helmet big guy
Kenwood needs to make all the DMX radios short chassis. HD screen + short chassis on the excelon DMX units would be a home run.
How much is this going for and where can I buy it?
Current price is listed on our website:
lockdownsecuritycanada.ca/products/kenwood-excelon-dmx957xr-digital-media-receiver
anyone know where I can buy it at the moment?
@@DJ-xu4ts amazon
Crutchfield. Get the harness adapter too
Whats the dac performance on this unit
The Kenwood DMX957XR utilizes a 24-bit/192kHz digital to analog converter (DAC) for superior sound quality with a signal to noise ratio
So the only main difference between this head unit and the 907 is the high res screen?
Yes.
Wow... Looks Just Like a Pioneer.
Yes, it has a 6.8" touchscreen and plays audio. How different do you think it should look?
Uh... no
Actually pioneer looks just like kenwood
Is there a model like that with dvd player?
Kenwood ddx9907xr is the model for dvd/cd player
Dnx997xr as well
$850 at my local car stereo place. I can't find it online. Sold-out everywhere. It's more than I wanted to spend but whatever, I'm getting it
I couldn't find it either and had to go with the 9707 (this with a CD/DVD player built in). There are a few 9707s around.
@@rich7447 @lobbyrobby We have the DMX857XR back in stock if interested
