Kenwood DMX957XR Apple CarPlay Review and Walkthrough

[@deucebigalo6650]

Hey I bought one of these units a few months ago and wireless carplay has never connected, and the kenwood mirroring app doesn't work either. Do you think i have a faulty head unit or do you think the new IOS update removed certain functions?

The angle adjustment is cool, thanks for sharing this.

[@iSimplifiedTech]

Oh thank you, my pleasure.

Great Video, Is it Android mirroring wirelessly capable?

[@vinnyvanca1748]

Love your intro

[@iSimplifiedTech]

Thank you sir

[@S0uLR3BEL]

is there a way to a adjust the contrast ratio on the this screen

[@iSimplifiedTech]

Yes at 2:23 there is the Screen Adjustment option.

[@twinscrew9.047]

Yes you can control mirror screen from the radio

[@iSimplifiedTech]

I am interested to know how, could you please share with us?

@@iSimplifiedTech if I'm right all kennwoods have a app in the play store for Android phones

[@INFRNL1]

I watched this for the screen mirroring. Can't get it to work. I downloaded the app, followed the instructions. It appears to do what it's supposed on the phone but doesn't connect to the head unit

[@iSimplifiedTech]

That's weird, what phone do you use ?

[@INFRNL1]

@@iSimplifiedTech I have an iPhone 12 pro I've also tried my pixel 4a. I finally got them to work using USB mirroring but not wireless. Also using USB, the only video that actually works is anything from KZbin. Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, HBO, etc won't play the video. The sound and apps work but not the actual video content

[@iSimplifiedTech]

Got it. Should work over the wireless but it’s going to be very laggy and pretty much awful. Apps like Netflix, Hulu and other on demand streaming apps won’t work... KZbin is going to be the main app for videos.

Please do concentrate in audio quality not on touch only

[@iSimplifiedTech]

. I do what other reviewers don’t talk about usability, ui and speed. Audio review can’t really be reviewed since in most cases everyone is using different types if speakers, might be using an external amp so all this variables in place you can’t review audio quality.

[@jamesstephenson2346]

No, this is great. An audio review is worthless, as the uploader noted. Will vary wildly
