Kenwood DNX5140 6.1-Inch Wide Double-DIN In-Dash Nagivation with USB/iPod Direct Control/DVD Receiver Order Now


Pros:
- Excellent GPS
- The backlight is fine.
- AM/FM Radio is OK.
- Plays CDs
- Plays DVDs

Cons:
- Bluetooth is an add-on (6140 has it integrated, 5140 makes you buy a seperate add-on)
- XM is an add-on (More money, you need 2 special items to get this working, receiver and the connector. It works OK)
- Sirius is the same thing
- iPhone is also an add on (I think)

Gripe:
- We live in the day of having smarter, more open hardware in our daily components (iPhone, Android, Blackberry, Windows Mobile, to name a few). This software is outsourced and never updated. It freezes and is slow in some instances.

Tip: Buying online is cheaper than Best Buy.

Tip 2: Geek squad will install this if you ask.

Tip 3: You need a double-din adapter to use this if you don't have one. You'll have to google around for "Make Model Year" + "Double din"Get more detail about Kenwood DNX5140 6.1-Inch Wide Double-DIN In-Dash Nagivation with USB/iPod Direct Control/DVD Receiver.
