Description Features Crutchfield Hands-on Research Accessories
 

Kenwood's DNX7180 navigation receiver is your "do-it-all" solution for in-dash navigation and multimedia entertainment. This flagship model takes the basics you expect in an in-dash nav system, adds some juicy extras, and then ramps up the capabilities of its features. You'll pay more than some models, but you'll get a lot more too.

Navigation with free traffic services
The DNX7180 uses NAVTEQ traffic services to make it easier to navigate through busy metropolitan areas. You'll get up-to-the-minute traffic info in over 90 cities in the US and Canada, with automatic rerouting around congestion and road closures. Best of all, it's free — you'll never pay a fee for this valuable service.

Ever been caught in the wrong lane at a busy interchange? Lane Assist puts an end to that last-minute guesswork, automatically guiding you to the correct exit lanes and pointing out the correct signs to follow.

PANDORA® Internet radio and more
If you enjoy listening to your own personal radio stations on your iPhone®, you don't have to miss a note when you get in the car. Once you connect your iPhone to the DNX7180 with Kenwood's optional cable, you'll be able to control your PANDORA® stations from the receiver's touchscreen, including rating songs with a "thumbs up" or "thumbs down."

This versatile receiver also covers your more conventional music media. You can plug your iPod® or a thumb drive into the rear USB port, or slide CDs and DVDs loaded with music files into the slot behind the motorized face. An rear A/V input bats cleanup with a connection for any other A/V sources.

Movie theatre on wheels
Got a yearning for some popcorn and a movie? Park the car, slip in a DVD, and enjoy. If you want to entertain the troops in the back seat while you're driving, connect a monitor to the A/V output and you're all set. You can even listen to a separate source in the front while they watch a movie in the back.

Touchscreen control makes it easy to use
Thanks to Kenwood's thoughtfully designed interfaces, you can start enjoying your receiver without wearing out your owner's manual. The DNX7180 offers three different colour schemes for the GUI and variable button illumination choices, so you can find a look that complements your dashboard lighting.

Bluetooth for safer driving
Kenwood has teamed up with Parrot, a leader in Bluetooth technology, to bring you hands-free calling in the DNX7180. When a call comes in, you answer with one tap of your finger — you'll hear your caller over your vehicle's speakers and talk to them like they're in the seat right next to you. And as an added bonus, you can stream music from any compatible Bluetooth device.

Expand your system
Add Kenwood's optional HD Radio™ tuner to enjoy the enhanced digital sound quality and additional programming choices HD Radio has to offer. Or add a satellite radio tuner and access the wide variety of entertainment, sports, news, and commercial-free music from Sirius/XM.

No matter what you're listening to, Kenwood designed the DNX7180 to send a crisp, clear audio signal to your speakers. Plus, you can use the 5-band graphic equalizer and a wide range of sophisticated digital signal processing tools to shape your sound.

If you're looking to add amps and subs, you'll love the three sets of preamp outputs, including a dedicated subwoofer output with low-pass filter and level control.

Want to keep your car's steering wheel audio controls?
In most vehicles, you can use an adapter to connect your vehicle's steering wheel controls to this Kenwood stereo. Connect a few wires, then program the adapter for your particular car and the Kenwood, and you'll retain the convenience of your steering wheel controls.

Note: Bluetooth compatibility of this device may vary, depending on your phone and service provider.

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

DNX-7180 November-21-11
Reviewer: Robert F from Houston, TX  
As everyone else I noticed it was somewhat laggy but I dealt with it and got used to it. Recently updated the firmware and problem solved! Great HU, would recommend to friends. I had the microsoft sync in my F150 but don't even use it as this HU does everything sync does, only better IMO. The pandora feature doesn't work that well when plugged in but I stream all my music via bluetooth from my iphone and the quality is excellent.


 
Terrible. November-03-11
Reviewer: BrettG from Phoenix, AZ  
I called Kenwood and they said a 1.5 second delay before the interface even responds to your action is normal. Poor design if they feel that way. The unit is too slow to even use. I'll be selling this and buying a Pioneer. I will never buy a Kenwood ever again after this experience. Crutchfield was very helpful in putting me in touch with the right people, who unfortunately, were not able to help (Kenwood).    

The buttons on the unit are too small / part of the screen and it's impossible to tell what you hit because of the 1.5 second delay before it even starts processing.  

Stay far away.


 
Worst Kenwood so far September-10-11
Reviewer: Glenn from Elkhart, IN  
I install a lot of navigation systems in Motor homes and usually Kenwood is the system of choice. However after installing this system I was very disappointed.  

This system is very sluggish and slow to respond and the navigation was the worst I've seen. I would assume all Garmins are the same but this system could not find many phone numbers or street intersections.  

Our customer was not happy at all with the performance of the kenwood and I was very disappointed as all other Kenwoods we install were great. I will not recommend this system to anyone.

Reviewer: Anonymous person from Greenville, SC  
Just installed this unit on Saturday, tested the Navi out on sunday.  Most  reviews of this unit don't point out that if you have a Smartphone of any type and  it has bluetooth you can play your pandora, and also your songs on the SD  card.  Since I've had this unit only a few days I really can't tell you how well the  Bluetooth phone conversations are because I really haven't tried it out.  The  Dvd Player has proven to be better than the DDX-7015 that I had before.  The  navigation system is out of this world.  I placed the antennae under my hood  where the magnet locked to the frame.  In my trial I took a trip to my parents,  and they live in a small town and I swore it wouldn't find it but put in the street  number then name and low and behold it found it.    The install was a little  more detailed than I would have like only because I have a bose system in my  pathfinder.  I thought the Bose system was good in the pathfinder, but boy did  this unit amplify it to make it awesome!  

Only down side so far is the hard buttons, it takes some getting use to...that  much I promise.


 
Laggy in need of updates May-25-11
Reviewer: John from San Diego, Ca  
Well stepped up bought the DNX7180.. It is about as fast as an Atari from 1980.  I tried making a phone call and was tyoing in the number too fast lol. I dont  know how the numbers are skinny and samll for the size of the scrren so I had  to type slow I thought... Going back and forth deep into sub menus and back  and forward is painfully slow. Does NOT support SMS on Verizon advertised it  did. Split screen PIP a waste unless you want a blank right side or look at the  icons. If someone calls it will show the call but the writing is small so whats the  point in having the split screen. Sat radio doesnt show the Channel logos like  my 10 year old Pioneer did. Most of the icons unelss your into Apple products  are a waste as it doesnt support Windows mobil or Android. Bottom line I think  its saveable with some updates firmware and software seems like a BETA OS.  Give it time it may become worth the price. We shall see!!
