Does anybody have the Kenwood KIV-700 installed? I'm wondering if the door will close with this unit?

 

I checked with CrutchField and asked them that question and was told yes, I've not installed it so I can't confirm for sure. I was thinking of getting the one with bluetooth. These two are the only ones I've found with Zune support. Although I'm hearing that it has to enumerate the zune each and everytime power goes to the deck and it can take up to 15 minutes depending on how many songs you have.

 

I'm also thinking of getting this HU and was wondering if the radio door will close with it installed.

 

I have this unit installed. It works great and looks great. You can close the radio door.

 

so it fits fine with no problems and no touching?

 

I was going to get the KIV-900 for its Zune support and built-in Bluetooth but found some deal breakers:
1) Face not removable
2) Bluetooth is hands free only, no audio streaming. If you want audio streaming you need to get the Bluetooth add-on
3) I contacted Kenwood support and asked if it could play WMA lossless from a Zune and they said it all Zune playback is done on the Zune and only amplified by the HU. I want my D/A conversion done on the HU.
I think there were some other problems but I don't remember right now. Decided to go with the kdc-x994 and put all my music on a USB drive (no iPod for me). Still no WMA lossless playback but 320kpbs music converted on the HU is fine with me.

 

You can make any single din HU fit (except HU w/ motorized screens such as AVH-P5200) and still have the door close. You just need to re drill holes in the factory brackets and move the unit further back.
