Whats Included

Kenwood DDX9707S
Mounting kit, microphone

Q: Does this unit have built in GPS?

A: No, this model does not have built in GPS. The Kenwood models that have GPS start with the letters DNX.

Q: When I selected in the filter "built in GPS" this radio came up. Earlier in the reviews it was answered that it does not have built in GPS. I do not want to be required to connect my phone to have GPS. I live in the country and travel and use my phone .

A: This DDX9707S does not have build in GPS. This radio would use your phone to get maps from it such as using Android Auto or Apple Carplay. If you want a radio that has built in GPS you can look at the DNX997XR, DNX697S and DNX575S. These 3 radios do have built in GPS.

Q: Is car play/android auto wireless or bluetooth?

A: Both your choice

Q: Is this compatible to the steering wheel?

A: I had Best Buy install it and they had no problem getting the steering wheel controls to work. The unit looks great and sounds awesome.

Q: is it xm radio ready

A: Yes it is, You need to hook up a XM receiver to it

Q: I get it that it does not have built in GPS. My question is on this unit, how do I access MAPS, Android Auto/Apple Car Play? I do not want a unit that I have to hard wire MAPS, Android Auto/Apple Play, from my phone.

A: This is a great unit! It has built in wireless android auto n apple car play. So you simply access your maps gps on your cell n it shows up on the receiver, real time. Ive been using google assistant for maps n calls! Its great!

Q: Does the video-out option work on this while driving? I want to use the DVD player to play on a TV in the back of our van while driving. It doesn't need to play on the dash screen

A: I can put a dvd in it and it will play on the tv for my kids while i drive. if you want it to play in the dash with out the ebrake on you need to ground it to some metal in the truck. This system works awsome. i e had it for about 8 months now. Not one issue. Problly the best after market radio ive ever had.

Q: Can this unit play a DVD while listening to the radio at the same time ?

A: Yup! Multiple Zone control to do just that! BEST PART is it connects via network to your phone so audio quality without being “plugged in” thru your phone is as good as being tethered to your dashboard! I LOVE MINE & will never figure out all it’s functionality! Just buy it! It does everything and more!

The Right Car Stereo for Me
I am enjoying my DDX9707S. This is my first car stereo with a touch screen. After a two months, I have discovered how to use the secondary functions on the buttons, a great way to put less use on the touch screen, and using the buttons is easier and less distracting while driving. I have the feeling that the longer I have this unit, the more I will like it. Wireless Android Auto works quite well, and if I am going on a long trip I can use the wired Android Auto and it will keep my phone charged. I had my installer replace both cigarette lighters in my car with USB ports so my phone can be plugged in easily and inconspicuously for a long trip. I use the CD player, but not as much as I thought I would. When I can ask Google to call up any music, it seems senseless to fumble around with my CD case, but it is nice to know that I can still listen to my CDs in case have to drive through an area with no 4G or 5G cell service. I got the right Car Stereo for me, after a lot of online research. The DDX9707S has more capabilities than I am using, so I am looking forward to discovering more as I add on to it.

Wireless CarPlay with idatalink (canbus) support
Installed in 2016 RAM 1500 (had the lowest end radio prior). Absolutely love, love my DDX9707S Kenwood stereo. There is also the nearly identical DMX9707S that may be a better fit for some if DVD support is not required. All other features are the same minus the DVD player. I bought this stereo as Kenwood has a series of radios that support the Maestro iDataLink ADS-MMR module. This interface, besides providing me the standard steering wheel support other interfaces provides also talks directly to the autos computer systems (canbus) so that factory features can be displayed on the radio. For example I can have my tire pressure, climate controls and parking sensors displayed on the radio. I've also provided a picture of my dash as the Radio communicates to it as well. You'll see that the song "Feel it still" is shown both on the CarPlay display as well as on my deluxe dash. First off, if you have not experienced "wireless" CarPlay or Android Auto (spouse has Samsung phone), you have no idea how free you feel when you don't require a cord. In addition, sometimes the cord can be a source of problems for your CarPlay or Android Auto experience. USB support is certainly available. Unfortunately (but perhaps a future firmware upgrade) iPhones do need to use their lightning cable if you want USB Mirroring. Android phones can wireless mirror and my spouses Samsung works great. The radio has excellent audio capabilities and has 4volt outputs for separate car amplifiers if you are really tricking it out. Has full crossover controls, so external crossovers are only optional for subwoofers and the like helping to reduce future expense. There is the ability to support 4 camera inputs (as well as a video output, more on that in a moment). Seriously considering the Kenwood DRV-N520 dash cam, as it'll plug directly into this and the DMX9707S radios with extra features. It's nice having my factory review mirror camera integrated into the car radio. While not a cable you can get from BestBuy, I was able to purchase a cable that allowed that connect and also keep it working on the review mirror). Something very interesting about the Radio is the ability to support Zones. Instead of just the radio through the entire vehicle, you can have the front be CarPlay, SiriusXM or whatever, and have the DVD or other source in the back. With a companion display the fam can be watching a DVD in the back seat along with headphones while the parents listen to music or anything else. Each car installation is different depending on make and model, but for reference I have the following along with my Kenwood DDX9707S on my RAM 1500: *Maestro ADS-MRR Universal Radio Replacement and Steering Wheel Interface * Maestro HRN-RR-CH3 Plug and Play T-Harness for CH3 Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep Vehicles *Maestro Acc-USB-RAM Media Hub USB Port Adapter Kit (retains factory AUX and USB connectors in console seat) * A Fakra Z to DIN radio antenna adapter (RAM radio had strange small radio connector). When planning to retain the factory features, be certain that you request the iDatalink feature, steering wheel interfaces are available for cheaper installation but do not retain the advanced features. Maestro ADS-MRR or ADS-MRR2 are required to retain these features and has two specific ports on the back of the radio for these. I did have a slightly lower value on my DDX9707S as I've found that we don't use DVD's as much as we thought we would. The DMX9707S may be a better value, but depends if you'll want to use movies for the back seat zone.

Poorly packaged didn’t even try
Very poorly packaged. I have bought open boxed items before and normally they are packaged better. Tree was no card taken Olin this one the display was face down against the metal cage that is normally arround the radio allowing it to scratch the face no padding or packing to keep it secure just everything loose in the box and this was marked as an in excellent condition item. I would love to include pictures. I was very upset.and it looks like the antenna wire has been pulled on and pulling the insulation off the copper wire this caused the signal to be static sounding I believe.
