The screen on my wife’s RAV4 went out and the Toyota replacement was like 1200. Ended up just replacing it with one of these for a fraction of the price. It even has Apple CarPlay which the Toyota one didn’t. All the same functionality as the factory one, steering wheel controls and USB ports function the same. Highly recommended.
No difference two different model # but they are the same depending what dealer you purchase from. I think if they are an authorized dealer they get one model # 4707 if your a regular dealer they get the 47
I had the same question and just chatted with a Crutchfield tech on this -- he said the specs are the same, but the 47S appears to be 'newer' stock for them as compared to 4707S. In looking at Kenwood's site, the latest firmware is the same for both models.
im looking to upgrade the unit on a 2017 honda accord (non touch screen stereo). would this be a good option?? i was looking into buying oem honda touch screen same year but touring/sport/ex trim but i havent found a harness with good reviews
@@SPotter1973 update what? The stock unit? Or this kenwood? My daily driver is 2017 accord lx. Stock non touch screen head unit. I want to upgrade with a touch screen with android auto but options are limited.
Hey smart guy, forgot to mention that it does mirroring for Android phones (icon was on the screen multiple times during your video) so I thought you'd be TOTALLY exited about that! Didn't think you'd skip that feature, however that feature takes away from you selling mirroring parts to people, so of course you're not gonna mention it. Please cover all features for customers, they need that info. Not everyone has an iPhone. The higher end models do mirroring through iPhone with an app, this one just does mirroring through an app only for Android. Please mention all features next time
Do I need a idatalink meastro with this unit to get apps and Android Auto or is it just to have steering wheels controls? Asking because I don't have steering wheel radio controls
hey i have this same stereo the fuse shorted, the wire problem is fixed but now the screen just keeps flashing on and off and wont ever turn on. I've tried resetting it, unplugging everything and plugging back in, forums, a car audio shop cant find a solution.
Nice review. Im looking at this vs the Pioneer DMH-1500NEX. What do you think is the overall better unit or is there something else i should be looking at in todays 2021 market under 300.00? Any input appreciated. Thanks in advance
Got this radio, but have no idea how to connect the parking break, saving a bypass as a last resort but thats all I find when I try googling how to do it.
I can’t get the av in to screen mirror my iPhone. I have all the correct adapters and I’ve switched around the pin configuration several times. Any suggestions? Is there a setting the head unit needs to be on?
Quality Mobile Video talking about wireless Apple play when will you guys be in stock on the Cartizan CP2-11 Wireless Apple Carplay adapter? Or does Cplayair2 actually worth it. Just don’t want them to release a software update that makes it obsolete.
Not sure what help w can be, we're not Kenwood customer support. I would recommend contacting the dealer you purchased the headunit from or Kenwood directly to get a repair or replacement.
Most Kenwood i have in the past are very bad during very sunny day almost to a point that you can’t see anything on the screen. How does this one handle during very sunny day or direct sunlight?
Can you guys add microphone tests in the future? Donut media did a comparison between a high end Kenwood and a mid tier Pioneer and the Pioneer had superior call quality, the microphone is also important for voice commands now.
Quality Mobile Video They just did a subjective test on what phone call sounded better to the other person, I’m sure you can figure out a more precise way to test them or just record audio from the microphone and let the audience hear the quality.
Tough choice! You're saving $50 with the DMX47S, but that's really the only thing it does better. You get the physical buttons on the DMX706S, which a lot of people prefer. The DMX706S also has 5V gold plated RCA pre-amp outptus vs the DMX47S' 2 volt. Also, the DMX706S is Dash Cam Ready, iDataLink Maestro Ready, plus has both front and rear camera inputs
Hi, I am really enjoying your videos, thank you very much! I have a question tho, according to some videos, Kenwood 125bt and 1025bt looks the same. But here in Australia, I cannot find 125bt. 1025bt is selling similar price to JVC 150bt here. May I think 1025bt is also same as JVC 150bt?
@QualityMobileVideo: I need help choosing between the 706S and the 47S, no plans for an additional amp...I can get the 706S for only $75 more..I really prefer the push buttons along bottom, but I also want a capacitive screen...706S is older, *slightly* more power, also Excelon quality...tough choice! If you had to choose?
Oh tough choice! I've reviewed both models so know them well. I would probably go for the DMX706S because it has more expandability options like iDataLink Maestro, two camera inputs. Not saying I'd get all that, but I'd like to have the option.
Im trying to figure out differences between this model, dmx4706s and dmx4707s. But really cant seem to find a comparison. Are you familiar with differences. Thanks
Hey sir, big fan🙌🏻 can you please help me out with the exact dimensions required for a ported enclosure for 2 pionner TS- W307D4 tuned at 35hz to be fitted in hayundai i20 2019 ?

If you ever get yours to work please let me know. I am currently having the same issue with DMX4707S. I plug in my phone to the USB and it android auto/apple carplay both stay greyed out. If I try to start android auto on my phone it doesn't show it is connecting to the head unit.
I just installed this in my car but the USB port in the car doesn’t work anymore so I’m not able to connect it, it there any other way I can use carplay
This stereo comes with an external microphone which must be installed to use voice control/hands free calling. If you didn't install it with the stereo, it will never hear you
Why does Kenwood look like its stuck in the 2009 and 2010 era? yeah the added the new features of 2020 but their interface looks something from when I was in high school in 2009.

@@Matasky2010 the remote is nice once you have memorized where the buttons are. Basically allows you to not have to look down at the stereo and maintain focus on the road ahead. Or allows passengers in the rear seats to control the music. Plus they are like $10
@@MrEvtmazda As the driver who always controls my stereo, I prefer to reach out and quickly press a button. The stereo is literally right beside the steering wheel. Even quicker is an actual dial for volume, but obviously many people want a more streamlined look these days. Remote will never offer an advantage to me. Maybe if you like to put your seat wayyy back in the lounge position, I can see the remote being better. I drive an SUV, and like to be upright. I'm not gonna drive around holding my remote, which means I'd have to pick it up, which means it will always be slower than simply pressing the button.

Hoenstly, I've been trying to figure that out myself! They are two different stereos, same price and from what I can tell, identical features. My only guess is one might replace the other?

Dammit that's a solid deal but I'm waiting for a 720p Sony XAVAX8000 or something similar that's not too expensive..
I agree with both statements
How come you guys aren’t reviewing the new HD pioneers yet?
We're supposed to get them soon! Corona ruined up everything in the Ecommerce/technology world
Thats true I had to wait 2 month's for my dmh wc6600
For the rca out put volts, are those volts at full volume ?

No difference

If you have stereo inputs use the red and white connectors.

You will need to see if there is a camera retention harness for that vehicle.
Do I need a idatalink meastro with this unit to get apps and Android Auto or is it just to have steering wheels controls? Asking because I don't have steering wheel radio controls
iDatalink is only needed for steering wheel controls and integration if you factory radio does things like climate control.
What can fix the huge delay in video with audio? Like watching RUclips through blutooth?
Is it true that the screen doesn't dim at night? A lot of people are trashing this head unit. I hope I get a working unit that lasts.
