6.1-Inch Touchscreen with Variable Illumination
The DNX5160 puts intuitive control right at your fingertips with its 6.1" QVGA TFT Active Matrix Display and powerful, easy-to-use graphical user interface. Customize the unit's front panel illumination by choosing from a large palette of colors--match your interior tones, dash lighting, or whatever tickles your fancy. Selectable wallpapers and customizable backgrounds offer further personalization.
Improved Interface
The DNX5160 features an easy and intuitive GUI (graphical user interface) with several refinements, including a vivid three-dimensional appearance.
Improved split-screen operation makes accessing features a snap. For example, the split-screen displays two different screens side by side, allowing you to toggle between two frequently used screens.
Built-In Navigation--Guidance by Garmin
This integrated navigation system guides you everywhere with ease on the DNX5160's 6.1" screen. All functions are intuitively controlled by touchscreen menus, and voice guidance works over the vehicle's speaker system. There is no need to swap map discs since it comes with a built-in full-memory Garmin Navigation board that features maps of the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico. Navigation feature include:
Add the KNA-NT100 for live traffic updates from NAVTEQ. NAVTEQ provides real-time traffic data for over 80 major cities in North America, meaning that if traffic is congested up ahead, the DNX7160 will automatically re-navigate the route to get you to your destination in the shortest amount of time.
Enjoy Your Favorite Media
The DNX5160 is a media powerhouse, letting you play your favorite CDs and DVDs, along with several digital audio and video formats. The unit accepts DVD, DVD+R/RW, DVD-R/RW, CD, CD-R/RW, VCD and CD-DA discs. It plays back AAC-LC, MP3 and WMA audio files; MPEG1 and MPEG2 video files; and can display JPG images. Throw your files on a disc or a USB device and enjoy them in your vehicle wherever you are.
And of course, you can still listen to the AM/FM radio. Use Auto Memory to automatically add stations with good reception to presets, or enter them manually. The DNX5160 displays FM radio text when available, traffic information, and allows you to enter station names.
Seamless Connection with iPod Video/Audio
Connect an iPod using the optional KCA-iP301V cable to enable full video (for iPods with video capability) and/or audio control. You'll supply power to your iPod as well as charge it while you enjoy your music. Kenwood AV navigation systems are compatible with iPhone and iPod models, and offer video playback for iPod. Search functions include playlist, artist, album, and genre, as well as the new intuitive Direct Search.
USB Direct Control
You can enjoy your favorite music, video or images from USB devices like flash drives or MP3 players. When connecting a USB device, playback starts automatically. When a battery-powered USB device like an MP3 player is connected to this unit, it also gets a charge, so it's ready to go with you when you exit the vehicle.
Input and Output
In addition to the iPod and USB support, you can use the DNX5160's front auxiliary A/V input to connect external audio/video sources like video game systems.
The unit also features an A/V output for sending content to an additional screen in the vehicle.
Plenty of Power, Room to Grow
The DNX5160 features an on-board 50W x 4 MOSFET amplifier, but also offers three sets of 2V preamp outputs (front/rear/subwoofer) for building your system.
System E's+ Crossover System
A single IC that allows the user to select from 8 different high-pass filter crossover frequencies plus pass-through, with independent selection for front and rear outputs. This makes it easy to optimize the performance of all amps and speakers in a car audio system without needing an external electronic crossover. System E's+ also incorporates a phase switch and low-pass filter for the non-fading output. The low-pass filter has selectable cutoff frequencies of 50Hz, 80Hz, 120Hz and Through.
System Q EX Sound Control
Five factory pre-set equalization curves (Rock, Top40, Pops, Jazz and Easy, plus a flat setting) and three speaker matching curves (OEM, 6x9, 5/4 plus a flat setting) that can be combined to give the user extreme flexibility over the sound's tonal character. The preset curves include midrange contouring, giving music more clarity and presence. System Q EX allows the user to modify the preset curves by changing the amplitude of the bass, midrange and treble compensation, and the Q of the bass and midrange compensation. The new curves can then be saved as presets for future recall
Bluetooth Ready
Add the optional KCA-BT200 to enjoy hands-free phone operation or to listen to audio stored on Bluetooth devices.
HD and SAT Radio Ready
The DNX5160 allows you to enjoy SIRIUS (requires CA-SR20V cable + Sirius Tuner) or XM (requires KCA-XM100V + XM Mini Tuner) radio in your vehicle. Enjoy a multitude of channels featuring music, news, talk shows, sports and traffic information with CD quality sound.
You can also add an HD Radio tuner (requires KTC-HR300). When you connect an HD Radio, Tuner features of the unit are disabled and changed to HD Radio tuner features.
Rear Camera Input
The DNX5160 is ready for a rear camera, allowing you to monitor behind your vehicle as you back up.
