I talked to a shop installer today. He definitely knew his stuff. I asked about all the things mentioned in this thread, and he explained 9/10 of them perfectly.

He's gonna charge about $300 for installing the HU, speakers, bluetooth, backup cam, and the illuminated kick plates for me. To top it off, they just finished a 370z last week!

Where's the best place to install a small amp for the components? Is it even necessary? I don't plan on getting a sub. I'm thinking behind the driver seat maybe.

Yes behind the seat would be best, also yes I would defiantly recommend amplifying a set of components if you are not going with a sub or even if you are getting a sub. You will get much more clarity out of them.

If anyone here is interested.

Selling my Kenwood DNX5140

I ordered the same camera as you. Works pretty good like at night or overcast daytime, but anything in direct sunlight is like too bright or something and the screen shows up almost pure white. I'm not sure if it's a problem with the camera not adjusting or what, you have any problems in direct sunlight?

hmm no problem here. When you say direct sunlight, do you mean just normal daylight (at noon on a sunny day)? It seems fine. I'll take a video for you tomorrow if you want.

Yea, like noon on a sunny day is pretty terrible. Like if I go under a bridge or in the shade somehow it's not bad. I'll try to post a pic of it.

Hmm I have never seen that. You might have a bad camera.

So I just installed my 6140. Does anyone know why my Audio Setup and AV Interface menu would be grayed out and have a lock symbol on it?

Also, trying to figure out why sub output isn't working...

Probably because you did not do the parking brake bypass?

n/m i figured it out. should have read the manual. it has to do with the setup memory section where you can save and unlock/lock the settings. also figured out the sub output, weird that it has to be in standby.

and i did ground the parking brake wire (green).

Good just wanted to check that you did that.

thanks. appreciate your help on the various threads!!! :tup:

sorry if this is posted allready but i couldn't find it ..... with the kenwood head units (dnx6140 for me) for the camera can the video be recorded, downloaded, saved or whatever you call it. and maybe upload to a computer can there be more than one video input? multi cameras one front one rear??

No that would be something different than the head units. Or even a carputer.

Soooo just to clear it up for me no you can not save the video. what about the multi cam. input yay nay maybe on a diff. model ?? just trying to get all my ducks and what not in a row thank you for your time good sir
