Expansion Options Kenwood offers several devices for expanding this system. Add a rear-view camera, HD/SAT radio, GPS navigation, or a steering wheel remote interface. Start with the basics and add as you go.
What's in the Box DDX616 Receiver, Bluetooth Microphone, Wiring Harness, Installation Tools and Hardware, Owner's Manual, Warranty Card
Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and CriticismI've purchased a Kenwood DDX616 from DiscountsJungle back in July of 2010. I contacted Kenwood's technical support multiple times for help with the unit. The tried to help, gave me their best, but in the end stated that their hands are tied due to me buying the DDX616 from a non authorized dealer (NAD). And due to me buying from a NAD, there is no warranty that Kenwood can give me. So after dealing with my issues and putting up with the volume turning down on its own, not connecting to my ipod, no able to connect to bluetooth automatically, I called discountsjungle again. They stated that it was Kenwoods issue since I was out of the 30 day warranty period with them. I called Kenwood back to explain this, they said there is nothing they can do since discountsJungle is a NAD. Called DJ back, there is nothing we can do and we are sorry. He did go on to remind me that he saved me over $200 when I bought this unit. Thanks, it's a p.o.s. and doesn't work properly. In the end. I will never buy from discountsjungle, will be writing a formal complaint with Amazon about one of their sellers, and I still need a new car stereo. Customer service-horrible, tried to pawn it off to Kenwood Understanding- not today Help with trying to fix the issue- not my lucky day either Going above and beyond- once again, not my lucky day Me telling everyone how crappy they are, Priceless.....or something like that.
