I'm looking at the Kenwood KVT-715DVD or the Clarion ProAudio VRX755VD. They both seem similar but just wondering if anyone has input on these in-dash DVD players? The Clarion looks easier to use and has a TV tuner built in but I have had Kenwood decks in the past and I have always been happy with them. What do you think? If not these decks, what would you recommend for around the same price ($1300-1500).

 

If you're looking for a flip out face, Clarion is what I prefer. You can check out the Kenwood 7015 for a double-din unit.

 

The DDX7015 looks really nice, I like the idea of the double-din but it is also staring would-be theives in the face when you are parked as well. My big question is that I saw on the crutchfield website that the Kenwood DDX7015 only plays DVD's when the car is stationary, is that the case for all in-dash DVD players? If so, is there a way to bypass that feature so the DVD player works when the car is moving. I want my passenger to be able to watch a DVD when I'm on longer trips. That's the whole point.

 

There's a wire that needs to be ground. In the Clarion, it's a green wire. Not sure for the Kenwood. It's in the manual if you're going to DIY.

 

i have the kenwood ddx....its a great unit.. lights up the whole inside of your z lol...i really REALLY recommendan aftermarket alarm system.. i bought both togther adn got a great deal...you need a good alarm system when you have this unit... very very noticeable...my alarm talks to me

 

I have (2) of the PIoneer AVIC DVD/Nav systems, in one my Z...2 months old and one in my Dodge 2500, about 18 months old. I have been very happy with the both of them! Flip out face, XM, TV, CDs, MP3s, DVDs, etc...it's a great set up. Love the performance gauges on the new Pioneer too...G sensors, speed, clock, acceleration, etc...
