Kenwood DDX-719

I had one for about a week. I liked the unit and the interface it was fairly fast. The main reason I got it is that I am a salesman and on the road literally all day. I drive around 1000 miles a week. I needed in car bluetooth and navigation. I got this unit as I had an iPhone and you can buy the Garmin app for $110 and it will display on the screen. I had the unit for a week and here is my complaints with it:

The iPod control is a little sketchy, worked about 80% of the time.

The bluetooth was absolute crap. The entire week that I had it installed I couldn't even finish a phone call as the other person literally could not hear me at all.

The iPhone/Navigation app is a complete piece of sh*t. You can't use the navi through the unit you have to use it on the phone. You can't listen to any other source other than iPod when using the navigation.

Anyways, I took it back to BestBuy and the ended up giving me like 30% off of an Alpine W900BT which has been much better.

The pros are that it is a good deal as long as you dont need Navigation or Bluetooth.

I have one and so far really like it I have not bought the garmin app so I can't comment on that

My Bluetooth works fine you can watch videos from your I pod on the monitor as well

Good lord, man. $800 and you don't need Nav? You can get a fully gangster single din for half that.

i have the kenwood ddx419 model. im very happy with it. i also have a 02 gmc envoy. if u dont care for the actual 7" screen. the ddx419 does everything the ddx719 does but with a smaller 6.1" screen. i have no complaints.
