^^^ Thanks for the reply and the pic.

Just in case someone reading this thread doesn’t know why I asked about the SD slot:

The Kenwood DNX 7100 navigation module does not use DVDs to load application software or map data. Instead, Kenwood chose Garmin as its OEM supplier and licenses the maps from NAVTEQ; and the application software and maps reside in ROM. That means the entire navigation system runs off a memory chip, and that is why it is so fast. Using a SD slot makes it very easy to update the application software and map data. You simply go to Garmin’s website where you can download the latest application software and map data. After doing the download, you write the new files to a SD, and insert the newly written disk into the SD slot on the Kenwood DNX 7100. The DNX 7100 automatically reads the new disk, and does the update. I recently did this (downloaded an update for the navigation module). It was easy (I did it on my computer on the Internet), fast (it took just a few minutes), and provided a valuable update (that included better screen graphics and an update of the NAVTEQ map data base). That was so much better than waiting for a DVD in the mail, and paying for the DVD and shipping.

Spike,

Mando (THEDUKE) swung by today and I saw his LZ-702W. You should definitely consider putting that in and taking the Farenheit out. His setup is almost perfect.

 

^^ You are correct. Please don't think I'm ignoring your good advice. I just don't want to "jack" the OP's thread here. I'll post a response on Mando's thread.

I thought you said that the 7100 won't output Navi though? Will it do it if you have the LZ-702W?

edit: I see your still trying to figure it out.

 

Well shoot... I was afraid this would happen (and hoping I have not diluted this Thread).

THE TECH and I have managed to add some confusion to the OP's excellent Thread (this Thread) by discussing a different configuration for Kenwood products that is on a different Thread. Where the THE TECH mentions removing the Farenheit, he is referring to this Thread:
https://my350z.com/forum/audio-builds/261207-new-installed-ddx8019-w-lz702w-touchscreen.html

In answer to your question: The DNX7100 displays navigation on its double-din screen and cannot send its navigation display to another screen.

Correct.

Sorry to the OP if we have taken it off topic.

 

how's the sound quality fo the 7100? the reason i'm askng is because of the 2volt amp outputs? more volts = better quality. i'm planning on buy this today so need input asap

 

I don't know if the novice would know the difference in sound. It will also depend on what other components you plan to use.

 

i actually started a new thread with all of my components.

tech, can u chime in and give me advice?

 

Will do.

 

thanks

 

Hi everyone,

Will this DVD player compatible with factory bose system?

Thanks.

 

Does anyone know why a wire needs to be hooked up to the parking break sensor?

 

This is the standard safety feature that will only allow the DVD to play when the parking brake in on. To defeat this, simply run that wire to ground.

 

Does DNX7100 support asian characters?
I have some korean musics and I was wondering if the characters would correctly display.
