Compared to the GPS NAV radio in my truck, this thing is a JOKE.

I have an 8 inch screen...with an aux jack for MP3 players - not to mention the disk changer is a 6 disk DVD changer that can read CDr's encoded with MP3's.

I'll never understand why people replace the stock units with Alpines and Pioneers. The stock units kick ass.]]>May 8th 2007 10:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/08/kenwoods-japan-only-gps-car-stereo-the-mna-350/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/08/kenwoods-japan-only-gps-car-stereo-the-mna-350/May 8th 2007 11:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/08/kenwoods-japan-only-gps-car-stereo-the-mna-350/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/08/kenwoods-japan-only-gps-car-stereo-the-mna-350/
And you go to a site like engadget because.....?

Also, it's pretty closed minded of you to think that people should be content with the head unit that comes stock. Sure, it may work for you, but how about those people that need the integration of an iPod (rather than an auxiliary port) or like the bluetooth options with phones?

Anyhow, I don't understand the people who like rap.]]>May 10th 2007 2:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/08/kenwoods-japan-only-gps-car-stereo-the-mna-350/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/08/kenwoods-japan-only-gps-car-stereo-the-mna-350/
The only downisde I find is that BASS response is mediocre for RAP music - which I remedied by adding a DUAL 12" SUBWOOFER BOX with a 1600watt Amplifier.

Since I used the stock system, I added a line level adapter.

I'm not the type of person who is highly demanding of equalizers and frequency distribution. I'm only interested in deep, LOUD, BASS, and powerful door speakers.

The best stock head unit I've ever used is in my Dad's S550 - but from what I know, it uses Fiber Optics.]]>May 9th 2007 12:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/08/kenwoods-japan-only-gps-car-stereo-the-mna-350/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/08/kenwoods-japan-only-gps-car-stereo-the-mna-350/The operating manuals for those are not available with me and were lost.

How could they be made available ,if you have online download access,please provide.

Thanks.

Great, you have a good GPS in a shitty vehicle. Congratulations.]]>May 8th 2007 11:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/08/kenwoods-japan-only-gps-car-stereo-the-mna-350/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/08/kenwoods-japan-only-gps-car-stereo-the-mna-350/
Five bucks says you didn't insulate with dynamat either. And when you say Dual, I hope you mean as in 'two' and not as in 'brand.' Adding a Dual brand amp to a Bose system is grounds for a public flogging. ]]>May 9th 2007 12:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/08/kenwoods-japan-only-gps-car-stereo-the-mna-350/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/08/kenwoods-japan-only-gps-car-stereo-the-mna-350/
#2 LOUD & DEEP bass may not be the same thing, when I say Loud and Deep, I mean I want my bass to hit ridiculous lows - and I want it to be loud enough to be felt and heard close to 2 blocks away.

#3 NO I did not insulate. A Cadillac EXT has a plastic interior trunk space and the plastic covers are suppossed to be removable and totally unhindered.]]>May 9th 2007 3:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/08/kenwoods-japan-only-gps-car-stereo-the-mna-350/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/08/kenwoods-japan-only-gps-car-stereo-the-mna-350/May 9th 2007 3:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/08/kenwoods-japan-only-gps-car-stereo-the-mna-350/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/08/kenwoods-japan-only-gps-car-stereo-the-mna-350/
To the reply regarding the Escalade's factory navigation: I own an '07 Tahoe with the exact same factory system as you. Mine sucked. I much prefer the Pioneer I replaced it with. I also prefer the factory installed Navteq-based system in my '05 MINI.]]>May 9th 2007 5:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/08/kenwoods-japan-only-gps-car-stereo-the-mna-350/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/08/kenwoods-japan-only-gps-car-stereo-the-mna-350/
Unfortunately, I also feel Kenwood buttons historically SUCK and why the hell isn't that second display an OLED?]]>May 9th 2007 2:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/08/kenwoods-japan-only-gps-car-stereo-the-mna-350/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/08/kenwoods-japan-only-gps-car-stereo-the-mna-350/

If you ever make it out of the boondocks let me know.]]>May 11th 2007 10:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/08/kenwoods-japan-only-gps-car-stereo-the-mna-350/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/08/kenwoods-japan-only-gps-car-stereo-the-mna-350/May 12th 2007 1:27PM
