Kenwood DNX7240BT Double Din HeadUnit

Featured Replies

I bought this in early march 2014, it was an impulse purchase as I was wanting something I could connect to the DVD screens in the rear of the car but after seeing how much trouble it will be cutting into the Ford wiring I'm going to stick with the Ford entertainment system for what little we actually use it.

 

Its a fantastic sounding headunit and very easy to use but I'd rather put the money towards some new tyres for my 18" wheels which are sat waiting to be fitted  and will compliment my recently fitted eibachs :)

It comes with

* Original box

* Kenwood to standard wiring harness (ISO plug?)

* Headunit

* GPS antenna

* Mic

* RCA outputs

* Remote Control

* Mounting brackets & Cage

* Installation Manuals

 

What you don't get in the pre install pictures are highlighted in red. These are specifics to the Ford S-Max to retain the steering wheel functions & a face plate.

 

Its still fitted to my S-Max but I will be removing it this week

 

Here is a copy and paste of what the HeadUnit consists of, the information was taken from here
