Kenwood DNX-7100 DVD/GPS System

Voice guidance includes street names, so you can keep your eyes on the road instead of having to scan for your next turn. Add an optional XM tuner and service for real-time traffic and weather information.

The GPS is very good. Had a couple of Street Pilots before and they can’t compare. It aquires satelites almost immediately (even in the garage), has a huge display and so far has been more accurate than expected. I noticed some occational drift when sitting still, but the unit zeros this out very quickly. Speed display seems to be exact with the speedometer and it’s nice how the unit lowers the stereo sound when a direction prompt is made. The iPod interface is great. Recognizes 80GB Classic very fast and displays all the song information. Sound is amazing even through stock speakers and the DVD looks awesome. On all review sites that have this unit, people complain about the interface. I’d just like to say that I never looked at the manual and feel I mastered all of the units features right out of the box. The interface, although not as intuitive as my iPhone, is VERY easy. Anyone should be able to work this thing with no problem.
