I'm stepping up to Kenwood Excelon DNX8120 and...

http://www.kenwoodusa.com/Car_Entert...gation/DNX8120

so I am putting up my existing DNX7100 for sale which includes the double DIN main unit and the blue tooth module. It's a great unit and I've had it for a year but I'm just moving up to Kenwood's flagship brand. The DNX7120 and and DNX7100 are virtually the same (one's a 2007 model and the other is a 2008 version). I put the url address on info on the DNX7120 and posted pics of the unit in my car. The last url is the MBWorld thread I started on my current audio/video/exterior/interior project.

So PM if you are interested...

nice, can you help me?

so i undestand that mb's are fiber based electronics. how do I upgrade the current reciever to a new 7" dvd/gps? to my knowledge, no aftermarket has the ability to connect to fiber, so i was told i would have to bypass the amp and re-reun all new cabling to the speakers! that sucks!

can you verify this is true? or please help with install tips

thanks!!

I was going to get the 8120 myself, but bought the Alpine 505 instead.

Have a question, does the 7120 have a built in sound processor for the surround DTS/Dolby? OR you have to add a processor add on?

I'm in the same boat! Did you have to upgrade the entire audio system (speakers, amps, etc) or wee you able to integrate into factory system?
