Enjoy trusted guidance and plenty of entertainment choices with the Kenwood Excelon DNX8120 navigation receiver. Garmin, a trusted name in GPS, provides the navigation data, with turn-by-turn voice directions and onscreen map guidance. You'll find built-in maps of Canada, the United States, and Puerto Rico, plus plenty of convenient points of interest. Text-to-speech voice prompts allow you to keep your eyes on the road as the receiver announces actual street names.
Entertainment options for your drive
Add the KCA-iP300V cable to view videos and pictures from your iPod on the screen. For more choices, you'll find a second USB input for thumb drives and portable hard drives, plus two audio/video inputs that make it easy to add a camcorder, gaming console, or other video sources.
Powerful sound controls
The DNX8120 offers the sound controls you expect in an Excelon receiver. The 13-band equalizer will have you playing sound man until you get the perfect balance for your listening taste. Kenwood's Sound Management System allows you to make sonic adjustments for vehicle and speaker size, and boasts digital time alignment that'll create a perfect stereo "sweet spot." Use the high-pass filters for the front and rear speakers and the low-pass filter for the subwoofer to tune your system for optimal performance.
Built-in Bluetooth
Kenwood built a Bluetooth® receiver into the DNX8120, so you'll be able to make and receive calls from your compatible phone through your stereo system. You can concentrate on your driving without fumbling for your phone when you take a call. You can also stream music from a Bluetooth enabled phone or portable.
Movies in the backseat
Connect an optional rear-seat monitor, and you'll be able to send movies to backseat passengers while you enjoy music up front. Add a steering wheel control adapter, and you'll be able to control the DNX8120 with the factory audio controls on your steering wheel.
Traffic updates
Add Kenwood's GXM30 XM Smart Antenna and subscribe to XM's NavTraffic™ service for weather info and regularly updated traffic reports on accidents and road closings in select cities. Or, you can also choose Garmin's GTM 12 traffic information receiver to warn you of impending traffic incidents, like traffic jams, construction, and emergencies in major metropolitan areas.
Note: If you're going to use your iPod with this receiver, be sure to check "Hands-on Research" for specific iPod model compatibility with this receiver or its optional iPod adapter.
