I'm curious to see if you had interest in HDRadio since I saw your XM unit installed. My biggest gripe about standard FM radio is increased advertising content since the economy started to slump, so I'm afraid to deal with the same thing... in high def lol.

Also, can you provide snapshot of the button colors in white? I plan to change out the amber lighting and wanted to make sure the Kenwood HU provides white as a color option.

This is a good write up and the pics are great! +1

The above pictures should give folks a good idea of how and where they should get back up camera's installed. I bet the JDM backup camera comes through the same spot.

Thanks again

Ooh! I'm looking forward to getting DDX-814, so I just wanted to make sure this was possible.

Just a couple of things to pass on.

The 7140 Rear Camera start up time is is only a about 2 seconds from engine start!

Total Boot time is 29 seconds from engine start to music!

On the steering wheel controls, You have the use of 4 buttons. I'm using the big up/down switch for volume control. The source button was left as source (A mistake) I'm having it re-done as next track button for the iPod (16g) and next pre set station for the XM radio. We think that will work. The old volume switch is now mute. The point I want to make is the buttons can be programed to do a lot more, Talk to your installer before the job starts about the button programing. It really needs some thought on your part so their won't be any "Shoulda, Coulda" after the install.

Hello Arizona Z. All this information is very very helpful. I was thinking of getting this very unit before I saw your post and I have to say it has given me a really good idea of how I will install and etc. The one thing that would be a great help is if you could specify the model numbers of the different additions, such as the camera, Nissan controller unit, and HD add ons. I have found what I believe to be the correct add ons but want to make sure that they are the same ones that you used. Thanks so much.

thanks alot arizona, i noticed that you got the pioneer camera. Was there any reason why you got this one over the kenwood one? I plan on buying the initial unit DDX714 and then adding things on as i get the cash or feel the need for the extra features. I have read that the navigation on this unit is very good (the reason why i opted to get this unit) However, I do like all the tuning features that my pioneers and alpine receivers have offered in the past. How would you say the kenwood rates in this area.

David,

It's the same Camera, made by the same company for Kenwood, or so says my installer.

BTW: I use to live in Anne Arundel County many moons ago. You near there?

The Garmin part of the unit is a 10, The Kenwood part sounds really GREAT! I was going to do speakers, but not now.

A.Z.

I'm actually in Howard County, so thats quite close. Well you do have the bose system so i'm sure they don't sound bad. I on the other hand have the factory and can't wait to rip those suckers out. I bought the JL c5-650 to take the place, now i'm trying to decide if its worth putting in 4" speakers. Do you find that the kenwood has enough tuning options other than ur typical bass treble settings. For example can you tune the frequencies? of the subs? etc...

Btw what brings you out to arizona?
