Problems...
I'm having troubles installing the new update...I tried burning it onto a couple CDs and it plays a terrible sound. Then I can get it to read on a DVD but never finishes uploading, Kenwood's site says around 5 mins to complete (I've left it in for around a hour one time). Any ideas?
Another question...when my iPod is plugged in the unit says the iPod is disconnected but still plays music just doesn't let me control it, I was hoping the update would fix it. I do have an iPod Touch, does anyone else have a touch that allows it to control it from the iPod screen?
TIA

I installed my ddx512 over the summer of 2008 (I think I posted earlier in this thread too), but just last night I had something weird happen. I started the car, and the screen came on, but the sound never came on. When it turned on it was on the iPod channel, then I switched it to Sirius, then to FM, then to CD/DVD and no sound would come out. I even turned it all the way up. My amp was fine (as far as I could tell...the normal power indicator light was on so I figure it was OK). It was cold out but I've run the unit in colder temperatures before without any issue.
So I turned it off and went to the gym and an hour later turned it back on, and it worked. So now it's suspect. Has this happened to anyone else here? If so was it a problem with your HU or your amp? And how did you remedy it? Thanks..

Thanks I will try installing the new firmware update. Any idea if it will read it off a usb thumb drive, or do I have to use a CD?

SO i decided to purchase this one. Will be doing it in a few weeks. Will get the refurbished unit from crutchfield with an extended warranty, the swi-jack for audi controls, the IPOD cable, and the Sirius package for kenwood. The sirius is out of stock so il wait until they have it in and order everything together. I think total will be around $550 and i will install myself with my friend who can easily do this.

Thanks!

I have the DDX512 and was wondering, how do you make the background image the you install cover the full screen? I loaded a jpg but it is not full screen. Is there a setting for this?

I just installed the head this morning, I love it but I have the stock nav on my 2003 track. Anyone else have problems with the nav not working?
I got it to work finally but Im worried it might stop soon so if theres a module or anything I need just figured Id ask now.
As for the resolution kenwood says the image should be 480x234 to be "fullscreen" but I havent tried it yet.
