I have the model above this one from last year... the DDX9906XR and it is capacitive touch, HD and full wireless Android and apple.. so far it has been a really great radio. I bought it in Clearwater at Five Star Car Stereo and got a awesome deal on it. I basically got it for less than the price of this radio.. My guess is it's still the same issue that if you want the "fancy" features that really should be included at this price point you have to step up to DDX9907XR. At least the audio is clean all the way into 5 volts.
I got it for $499 and I love it, had it since last year December of 2020, I've installed in a 2016 Nissan Rogue, I can confirm Wireless Carplay actually works and for Wireless Android Auto the phone detects the radio but since Motorola fails to send out Android 11 Software Update I'm unable to test that out. It's a really nice head unit touchscreen is really responsive to me, I do wish it was HD tho
I wished andriod auto would auto launch when i start the car like my old pioneer 4400. I just picked up a refurb dmx957xr from crutchfield. You have to press the aa icon which is annoying.
I have the Kenwood DMX9706S in my truck and got it on sale for $350 ($599+), although it is a good head unit I feel as if Kenwood is stuck back in 2012 with the look of the OS. I was I had looked up android head units before getting one. But I hope Kenwood makes there OS more streamline in the future.
I'm about ready to kick the Kenwood board room door down during product discussion and rip the dry erase marker out of their hand. Wireless AA/Carplay, HD Capacitive screen, 5V preout, KNOB/done. Use their outdated interface even (my 6 year old DDX6904s looks same!), no motorized screen. Price it good, that's it!!
I dont know why these head units cost so much when the displays they have are almost always terrible. Low refresh rate, basic resolution, and they just feel choppy when using them.
I still say, the DDX8906s is the best disc slot head unit Kenwood made. Wireless APC and AA, wireless mirroring for Android, AND it's 720p HD. All for 600 bucks. Kenwood IMO, need to stop taking steps backwards.
I just bought one of these Radios and it does have Wireless Android Auto. Maybe they added it since this video was made. Not sure. But it definitely does have it. Using the Samsung S22 Ultra
I think the only difference is the audio quality right? Or are those good.. do the maps work in North America? I've been thinking of buying a joying unit
Is there a head unit that’s wireless Apple CarPlay and allows you to watch or mirror your phone while parked? I currently have the JVC KW Z 1000 but I wanna replace it with something smaller 😕.
I have this unit and I’m totally frustrated as I can’t get the background photos to load properly with the Kenwood portal app. I’ve tried ALL sizes of photos and they’re TOO LARGE. They won’t fill the screen like they should 🤬 Any ideas on how to make it work? Thanks..
I'm also disappointed in the resolution, but I realize the manufacturers are concerned about longevity. Sure, they could give you an HD screen, but the unit will run hotter and in such a cramped space, bad things will happen.
And an HD screen that is 6.5-7 inches 3-4 feet away from your face isn't really required. The other thing you would need with HD screen is a better backlite. Trade-offs.
Dudeee so I purchased the 9707s but they gave me the 9708s. I can't figure out how to add pandora app to my unit. I'd like to display pandora as well as GPS simultaneously. Like out Spotify displays. It's kinda pointless when I have to look down at my phone to change the station/song. If someone has some input I'd greatly appreciate it. I have this unit paired with a s23 ultra. Thanks
Why does kenwood's website say the ddx9707s has wireless apple car play and wireless android auto? It states on their website wired or wireless apple carplay and wired or wireless android auto. So are they wrong or no?
It has wireless AA and cp. I have this radio and use it all the time plus you don't need the app to do display mirroring. My note 10+ can mirror using the smart share feature built in
I can deal without wireless. Just not at that price. I'm shopping for one for my 03 Jeep Grand Cherokee currently and have been near pigeon holed into a Pioneer 2660nex since they have one the that has Android Auto and HD radio. I'd love wireless, but trying to stay below $500 since I'd like to get a new vehicle in the next few years.
Ya the dude in this video must not know this unit DOES INDEED have wireless car play and Android auto. Also has wireless mirroring for Android and wired for iphone

Wireless Android auto works also, but I'm running Android 11

Nice I’m going to get one probably on Sunday for my 2015 Camry which I want the apple car play and dvd to play live concerts that I own.
What the hell. I have this exact head unit...and it says it has wireless apple carplay...
I have the exact same unit and I have wireless on both I don’t know what the hell this dude‘s talking about

I have the DDX9707S and it is indeed wireless
I have the dds9707s and I use android auto wireless everyday.
I just bought one of these Radios and it does have Wireless Android Auto.
Maybe they added it since this video was made. Not sure. But it definitely does have it. Using the Samsung S22 Ultra
S22 Ultra have been difficult with virtually everything.
So yea…I’ve owned this unit since December, its 100% got WIRELESS AppleCarPlay. My one gripe is the lack of HD
I have the same head unit as my only gripe as well I don’t know what this dude is talking about I unsubscribed!!!
i prefer my ddx 9730s...still goijg strong after couple years...it also has hdmi
The Joying blows this radio away!!! And half the price!
I think the only difference is the audio quality right? Or are those good.. do the maps work in North America?
I've been thinking of buying a joying unit
To each their own…I love the Kenwood has true audio quality.! Give it a shot.
I seen those but I need the good kenwood DSP to run my rubicon soundstream amps.
This is also wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless android
Is there a head unit that’s wireless Apple CarPlay and allows you to watch or mirror your phone while parked? I currently have the JVC KW Z 1000 but I wanna replace it with something smaller 😕.
Perfect replacement is the JVC KW-M865BW:
www.qualitymobilevideo.com/kw-m865bw.html
@@Qualitymobilevideo does it allow for landscape mode while iPhone mirroring?
Well this head unit came free in my Tahoe so I’m just checking it’s capabilities want to change it to an iPad
do you have any idea why my apple play won’t work ever since i messed with the wireless screen sharing
Always start troubleshooting after restarting the phone.

I can’t find a setting to change carplay status bar from right to left.
Please help me
ok you say wirles is better tell me which radio is wireless and you say is not HD but with a big letter HDradio?
You can use bluetooth for wireless things.
How can I order the car stereo from you I like it
I just bought one but I need the kit for iPhone can u help me

how good is this unit facing the atoto s8 ultra?
This is in fact, a capacitive touch screen

Clearly the kid who is voicing this, didn't actually look into the feature or has an old ass phone that doesn't update to android 11.
Wait are you one of the guys from raiders of the lost podcast?
Lol yes! This is my day job

Just bought a Kenwood DMX7706S for 399$ from Best Buy. Has Apple car play & android auto. Plus it’s local! No waiting !
It has wireless
But.. it is wireless android auto... Lmao
Yup says it on crutchfield website

REVIEW THE ATOTO A6 PRO !!!🙏🏽
Wrong ! it IS android auto wireless and wireless mirroring lol maybe research a bit better next time 😅
Wireless CarPlay every single day!! Clearly this reviewer has inaccurate information.
Ladies and Gent the dx5707 does the same th😂ing and more
No I would pass on it
700.00!!??? Too much!!! I'll stick with Boss!!!
Boss lmfao
The off key background music makes this presentation unwatchable
O'Connell Route
Vern Skyway
Emmerich Causeway
Can you find more nauseating music for the background? Oh you can’t - figures

I personally would not pay $700.00 dollars for not having wireless android auto. That's just my opinion of course.
I'd barely pay over $350 and that's only because of limited stock.
It does have it tho
Same
This guy talking in the video is WRONG ! it is wireless everything. I know, its in my truck lol
Ya the dude in this video must not know this unit DOES INDEED have wireless car play and Android auto. Also has wireless mirroring for Android and wired for iphone
Kenwood what a disgrace
No wireless apple CarPlay?! Not a serious review Lol i stopped the video right there
