Kenwood DMX7709S vs Kenwood Excelon DMX709S What's the difference?

[@AdamSVT]

great video! I was wondering what the difference was because they looked so similar.

[@justmyself1000]

Thank You! HD radio is a deal breaker for me. So I bought the 709...

[@LockdownSecurity]

Glad we could help, wish we could have sold the 709 to you

[@desi4lyfe379]

I dont know if Kenwood integrated wireless software updates, but it was always not easy to update firmware on previous models. Garmin maps needs to be updated periodically & without over the air updates, it is pain in a butt.

[@LockdownSecurity]

@@desi4lyfe379 no they have not implemented over the air updates, it still requires a file upload into the head unit, this goes for head unit firmware updates, along with GPS map updates if the head unit has built in GPS nav

[@ginooliva5280]

Thanks a lot!

[@RS-mj7rq]

can you guys review boot up times from starting car to music starts playing on all head units?

[@LockdownSecurity]

@@RS-mj7rq this is a great idea actually, and something we will start doing on all future head unit videos. I will see what I can do to start doing previously reviewed head units as well. It might get costly though, we buy every head unit we review (unless otherwise stated that the product was provided to us).

@@LockdownSecurity also testing out the reverse cam is a must especially those with multiple cameras on their vehicle

How is the 709s getting a signal when it says "No text" so ya not getting a signal on either of them, if u were there would be the information given from the radio station vs No text!~ The "Waiting" is the 7709s OS vs the 709s OS which has the HD-Radio vs the RDS. I used to repair car stereo's an amps an install them, so I am not a newbie!~ if ya been using a normal aftermarket HU without the HD-Radio ur not missing anything, sure a bunch more stations, so what more talk an commercials to get to deal with as well!~

[@henryshockem9242]

Quick question. Does either of these units have a slot for an SD card? and if not can you tell me a equal brand that does> Thanks buddy...

[@LockdownSecurity]

Neither of these receivers have an SD slot, but the Kenwood DNX577S and the Kenwood Excelon DNX697S do have SD slots (for map updates mainly, but can be used for music source as well). lockdownsecuritycanada.ca/collections/car-stereo-receivers?_=pf&pf_pt_product_choice=GPS%20Navigation%20Receiver&pf_v_brand=Kenwood&pf_v_brand=Kenwood%20Excelon&pf_t_screen_size=Screen%20Size_6.8%22

[@edwinhoward6530]

pre out voltage is usually 5 excelon and 4 kenwood

[@LockdownSecurity]

You are correct, if I mention the Excelon having 4 volts, my mistake it is 5 volts.

[@mattblackburn8071]

What is the difference between 4v and 5v? 🙏🏾

[@justmyself1000]

@@mattblackburn8071 1v

[@jasoncaine2600]

Excelon is 5v Kenwood is 2v

Got a giggle out of me

Bad form man. Don't ever interfere with a man's opportunity to earn a customer and generate revenue. Geesh.

How i can restore my DMX709S , update failed for System.

[@LockdownSecurity]

Best to call Kenwood tech support.

[@markgool957]

can i use my factory cameras? i have 4 cameras in my mitsubisihi outlander 2019

[@LockdownSecurity]

Yes you can integrate the factory cameras using an iDatalink Maestro ADS-MRR or ADS-MRR2 module.

[@jml1553]

How hot should this unit get son a car?

[@LockdownSecurity]

These units should not get very hot at all, the only thing that generates much heat is the amplifier, but these are much higher efficiency now and do not create much heat.

[@Ksass23]

What about the HDMI?

[@LockdownSecurity]

Yes they have HDMI inputs
