Truck Stereo Head Unit

[BPTactical]

I had a Kenwood DDX unit in my F350 and loved it, don’t recall the number but I snagged it from CarToys in 2018 as an open box unit for $200. I do know it was a higher end unit and I was very happy with it.
Connectivity was great when I did use BT but I hard linked most of the time.
Navigation was great and the HD radio wasn’t bad, it was great traveling across Wy to see Mom and when HD dropped out Pandora picked up well. The only place it dropped out was about a 20 mile spot between Muddy Gap and Lander.
With the Maestro link it linked in very well with the trucks systems, I was able to select through 2 different truck function screens with features such as EGT, actual tranny temp, actual volts etc. it was a really great system. My only gripe was occasionally I would have to “re pair” the unit with the truck systems. No big deal just a matter of shutting the truck off and re linking it but when your blazing down the highway at 80mph you really don’t want to turn the truck off.

I pulled it out when I traded the truck in for my ‘19.
I re installed it into my camping trailer and i have audiophile quality sound in my camper.
Give Kenwood another look.
If it wasn’t for the amount of integration with the entire truck I would put another Kenwood in my ‘20.

Yeah I put in a Kenwood DDX396 in my truck, works great, bluetooth is perfect in it. I even play movies, got Blazing Saddles on it now.
