Searched, but didn't find my answer...

Can DNX8120 shoot out navi to say L702 screen?

I think the answer is no, but I need to confirm this before ordering V500+L702+G510...

Thanks, guys

 

Yes you can shoot the navi out to another screen, but you cannot control it from another screen. You must still use the touchscreen functions on the DNX8120.

 

Thanks,
Although that's not the answer I was hoping for
Well,
I guess I'll need to go with L702+G510

 

^^ That’s a good choice. I can tell you with no reservations whatsoever that you are going to love the Kenwood LZ-702W Touchscreen Monitor, teamed with the Kenwood KNA-G510 Navigation Box. Here is what you get with this configuration:

• An exceptionally-sharp LCD monitor (even though it is a touch-screen, it delivers a razor-sharp image)
• By far, the fastest GPS guidance (the Kenwood KNA-G510 Navigation Box best feature is its extremely fast performance)

Spike, your word gives me all the confidence I ever need. Thanks.

 

Thanks for kind words.

I did misspeak when I mentioned the Kenwood LZ-702W Touch-Screen Monitor since you are asking about the Kenwood KOS System (KOS-L702 Remote Touch-Screen Monitor and KOS V500 Controller).

In fact, the LZ-702W Touch-Screen Monitor and the KOS-L702 Remote Touch-Screen Monitor are the same monitor and only differing slightly in the hardware configuration (the LZ-702W has its own hideaway box while the KOS-L702 Remote Touch-Screen Monitor connects to one of the two available KOS Controllers).

Anyway… either Kenwood monitor is great by any measure:

• Razor-sharp image that is easily viewable even in direct sunlight
• Terrific touch-screen function

If you go with the Kenwood KOS System, you have the ability to add various devices (DVD players, i-Pod, rearview camera, etc.) to the KOS Controller that you control using the touch-screen function in the KOS-L702 Remote Monitor. You can even add the KOS system to an existing car CES (including the Z’s stock OEM CES), and control that with touch-screen operation.

I’m very interested in your project. Please post your opinions after you install your system.

Spike,
Hate to disappoint you, but I misspeak as well when I said L702, I really meant LZ-702W. I did look into V500+ setup, but most of the Kenwood headunits provided enough expandability for my purpose. However, I would love to see someone taking a full advantage of V500 or V1000 system.

BTW, will LZ-702W fit into the 06 center panel (one without navigation cluster lid)?

 

It appears that our two “mis-speaks” cancelled one another.

It really doesn’t make any difference since the L702 and the LZ-702W monitors are essentially the same with the only difference being the control unit. The LZ-702W installation costs less since it has its own hideaway box and spares the expense of a KOS controller. Of course you know that (and it is what drives your decision). I only mention this for the benefit of readers who may not realize the difference between the two.

You can mount the Kenwood LZ-702W touch-screen monitor in any 350z. Your 2006 model requires some minor custom fabrication that any intermediate to high-end installer can do easily and inexpensively.

Please post some pics one you get it installed. I’m sure there are ’06 owners who would like to see the details.
