Advanced Speech Recognition (Voice Control)
Only available on the flagship Excelon DNX9140 receiver, Voice Control gives you hands-free control over most your system by using only your voice! Voice Control supports six languages (English, French, German, Dutch, Spanish & Italian) and can perform the following detailed functions:
• Source Selection
• Basic Operation For Each Source
• Volume Adjustment
• iPod / USB / DVD Source Content Selection
• Sirius / XM Source Channel Search


Reverse Tilt™ Mechanism
Depending on the vehicle, in-car monitors are installed in a variety of heights and angles, and this sometimes results in reduced visibility due to reflected glare from sunlight. Kenwood’s solution is the exclusive Reverse Tilt™ mechanism: in addition to the traditional tilt mechanism that allows the bottom of the monitor to be tilted forward over 5 positions, Reverse Tilt™ also allows the top of the monitor to tilt forward to eliminate reflected glare.


Built-In Sirius Satellite Protocol
Kenwood Multimedia products offer more value by including a Sirius SSP interface. By simply adding a Kenwood CA-SR20V adapter cable, you can connect a Sirius SC-C1C tuner or a SC-VDOC1 car dock cradle for your portable Sirius tuner.

 

wow that unit looks sweet!

 

When it says "built-in full-memory Garmin Navigation board". what does that mean? The layout of the Nav looks different from my KNA-G510, are the maps more advanced also?

 

looks so nice =) i hope i can get it one day.

 

I've had the 8120 for a few months and I love it. I wonder how much better this will be.

 

This unit looks and performs better then the 8120.

Grafix User Intaerface is a lot easier.
It has one button access to all audio adjustments, as well as Nav and Source.
Much less tinkering to get what ou want on the unit.

Kenwood really thought this unit out.

Get your pre-orders in to be the first batch of people to get this awesom unit.

 

Looks so much better than the latest 7 and 8 series units, with their zig-zag LEDs across the bottom... The variable key illumination is a real plus with this upcoming unit; it makes so much sense. I might trade my 5120 for this, as I only bought it for that purpose.

 

Does anybody know if the built in garmin has the voice recognition (available on the 850+) ?

so whats the big difference between this and the 8120?

 

the 9140 has all the same features as the 8120, but a little more.. the screen is going to have better resolution, the bluetooth is better, the 9140 has variable color illumination, it has advanced voice recognition for voice control of almost every feature the unit is capable of. the unit is also supposed to be compatible with the widest range of bluetooth cell phones. apparently the unit also has some sort of vehicle maintenance and mileage tracker as well? and in 2010 kenwood is supposed to release a digital t/v tuner which will work on this unit. lol from what i understand all of the main features got better
