Description Features Crutchfield Hands-on Research Accessories
 

Build your mobile video system around Kenwood's KVT-512 in-dash DVD player, and you'll appreciate your investment. Just touch the motorized, retractable 7" screen to change sources, select DVD menu items, or choose the music you want to hear. An impressive array of inputs and outputs allows you to create a comprehensive entertainment package in your vehicle.

Watch your favourite DVDs on the built-in screen whenever you're parked, or add an external screen and wireless headphones to the audio/video output so your passengers in the back can watch movies while you drive. You can activate dual-zone mode to listen to an audio source up front while they enjoy a DVD with headphones in the back.

Build a system
The strong internal amplifier and comprehensive sound controls will bring out the best in all your CDs and music files. Connect extra audio/video gear like a game system or VCR to the two audio/video inputs to expand your entertainment options. And the KVT-512 works with a wide variety of Kenwood's add-on gear, including satellite radios and HD Radio™ tuners. Connect external amplifiers to the front and rear preamp outputs — this Kenwood includes the high- and low-pass filters you'll need to tune your speaker system.

More entertainment and travel options
Bring a library of tunes along for the ride by plugging in a thumb drive or other storage device into the USB input. Kenwood's optional KCA-iP300V adapter allows you to access your iPod's music and video content. Stay on course when you're travelling by adding Kenwood's navigation system — the KVT-512's touchscreen lets you find your destination and access points of interest quickly.

Note: If you're going to use your iPod with this receiver, be sure to check "Hands-on Research" for specific iPod model compatibility with this receiver or its optional iPod adapter.

Kenwood KVT-512 August 6, 2008
Reviewer: Michael from Las Vegas, NV  
Since this is my first DVD deck, I was a bit skeptical.  But after researching similar decks with numerous competitors, this is the best one for the money...hands down!  Like a previous customer stated, it does kinda bite that it doesn't come with a remote, but remotes are easy and rather inexpensive to come by.  The screen is a great size and can be seen easily from any seat in my F-150 Supercrew.  I also purchased the iPod cable accessory which lets me control my entire iPod from the touch screen.  I absolutely love all the add-ons that you can put on this deck as it was well worth the price I paid for it.  I also got a custom box made for my subs because I wanted the total "surround sound" experience when I pop in a DVD.  Overall, great deck!

I agree with the reviews on here -  overall - a great unit, and although steeply priced, you do get what you pay for.  The touch screen is responsive, and the menu options are clear - i was able to find most options and settings without even reading the manual.  I was annoyed however that the satellite radio connections were changed for 2008 - i had to scrap my entire cd changer and satellite radio system and upgrade to keep receiving XM service.  This cost me just over 100.00 extra.  On two occasions now (had it a month so far) the unit has rebooted unexpectedly and every few days it displays "disconnected" when trying to use the XM unit - not sure if its the stereo or the xm unit thats confused but turning the entire car off and then on again sorts it out.  This has happened 3 times so far.

Overall i am happy and its well worth the money - sounds great, looks great, lets hope it lasts a long time!

Super looking Deck, many options!! Def the best deck that I have purchased ever. Although, didn't like that it didn't come with a remote, and the gps option is fairly high priced. Many add ons can become very expensive fast. But def very high quality unit, sleek design!  overall great product!!


 
Awesome HD April 22, 2008
Reviewer: Casper from Chicago, IL  
If you
wanna spend the
money GO for this
Deck.  Also you have
the ability if you
WANT to install the
GPS or NOT.  I chose
NOT to do it seeing
is that I already
have a magellen.

THUMBS up KENWOOD on
this DECK.  I just
WISH that there were
THREE and NOT two
Outputs for the
amps.


 
Buy this! April 11, 2008
Reviewer: dave from California City  
This by far is the best DVD and Nav combo I've ever seen.  The touch screen is perfect! The controls can look a little intimidating at first but after the drive home I had most of them down.  Only downside is when its dark in the car and the screen is closed the buttons arn't too easy to find.  Wish they had a smaller screen in adition to the large one that you see on the standard radio.  Buy this!
