The folks over at Kenwood continued their tradition of upgrading their line of head units this year. The new 2012 line-up of Kenwood Excelon receivers is finally here and better than ever. The DNX6990HD is one of the two flagship models from Kenwood. I have had some great hands on experience with it that I would love to share.

This year they packed more features than ever into a head unit which is also a few hundred dollars cheaper than its predecessor. The DNX6990HD continues to use the Bluetooth Powered by Parrot which is arguably the best quality Bluetooth interface available to date. The recent update to the Bluetooth added Bluetooth audio streaming capability from any iPhone, Android, or Blackberry device. This means that any music on your phone or audio playing from your phone can wirelessly stream through your car radio. In addition to being extremely convenient, it sounds great!

If you are thinking about adding a new car radio to your vehicle, look no further than the Clarion NX501. This beautifully designed double-din radio will not only blow you out of the water in looks but also in the easy to use, user interface and incredible sound quality. The Clarion NX501 offers a wide variety of outstanding features.

Since we just rolled out the full line of products from Clarion, I thought we ought to get right in and talk about their new high end marine unit, the CMD7.

This is a single DIN chassis with a large display face that can really take whatever the ocean can dish out. The CMD7 incorporates solid rubber gaskets for the best seals possible, stainless steel chassis designs, drip shields and rubberized controls to insure no moisture gets in anywhere. It is this attention to detail and the full IPX5 Salt/Fog testing that gets the CMD7 the highest water intrusion protection rating in it’s class. We’re talking as waterproof as you can get!

Kenwood recently introduced 2 new control decks for the car that offer great features when having a CD transport is not necessary.

For those of you in search of a great high-performance car deck, look no further than the KDCX995 from Kenwood’s Excelon division. Following the success of last year’s KDCX994, the KDCX995 brings some great new features to an already popular lineup of functions- alongside the 2 year parts and labor warranty standard with every Kenwood Excelon product.

Kenwood wasted no time with its success of the DNX6960 by rolling out the DNX6980 for 2011 and this year’s model is a winner, too!

Take one look at the DNX6980 and you can see the sleek design and easy functionality the designers and Kenwood were out to achieve.

The biggest feature you can get with certain alarm models allows you to remote start your vehicle, which is nice up North during winter months and down South during the summer. Being in Florida, nothing’s better than having that A/C already cold and comfy when you get inside your ride!

Although this option has been available for years, there’s now a real cool accessory you can purchase that takes your car-start feature to a whole new level.
