I'm having a problem. I am stuck in standby mode. None of the other modes are working, and i know i am touching them because they are making an animation. I tried changing my startup image but it wouldn't work, then it started staying in standby mode.

Now if I could get this damn iPhone to sync with it and let me hear the people talk back to me. They can hear me speak but I can't hear a word they say. Any ideas on that one?

I just made a call and the call was on 24 and my iPod came back on at 20. Hope that helps. If that doesn't work, just send me the iPhone and I'll send you one of my cruddy old phones!

I actually had to re-input the security code through the settings menu even though i did it at the start. Got it working now, still trying to get the startup screen to stick, i was able to change my background though. Does anyone know how to change the fullscreen mode for when you play mp3 dvd? i hate that pink looking screen.
As for the iphone, I was reading around the apple forums, and somebody said it was either the way it paired to the kenwood, kenwood knows iphone sucks with their units but aren't planning on doing anything, or it might have been because the bluetooth on the iphone isn't that good.
Does anyone know how to change the little tabs on the bottom, the ones that says like, folder, sw, tel, rdm, i want to change the order so i have all the stuff i need in one screen. Thanks!

Has anyone had any issues using their standard ipod cable with this HU? The standard cable works fine with the kenwood excelon KDC-X592 that I installed in my girl friend's car, but when I try it with the DDX812 I can navigate through the ipod just fine, but I don't get any sound.
I have a 30gig ipod with color, but no video... I'm not sure of the generation.

I just took my headunit out to install a reverse camera, a front camera, the relay switches, and the gps unit, my goodness!!! I am going crazy, I have never seen so many wires in my life, i don't know how I am going to do this. It is insane. I also have a pac-swi and it just adds more wires, its f-in crazy.

I recommend anyone to just buy from Nazar, its like, $50 bucks more expensive than ebay, but he is an authorized vendor!!! I just wish the back of the z console wasn't so cramped. I can only imagine if i was doing dual zone, like having sunvisor monitors with different screens on each one and having an a/v input, luckly, i am just putting in 2 video inputs and no outputs. Whats going on with the olympics anyways, usa owning everyone?

Can anybody tell me where we can download updates for the DNX8120?
I know where to find the Garmin updates for this unit; however, I have not seen/heard how we will be notified when/if patches or firmware upgrades come out for other features of the unit.
Thanks in advance.
