I have a Kenwood KDC-X869 it came with the truck and it's not that old. Yesterday morning it worked fine but yesterday after I got off work the faceplate went half way down & stopped? I pushed a few buttons nothing happened so I pushed and held the reset for 5 sec. and then it came on. I had to reset all of my presets, bass, treble.... so on and so on. Anyways it did the same thing this morning so when I got to work I shut the truck off & waited about 1 min. then turned the key to acc. and it worked fine. Anyone had any trouble like this or have this model? I'll check and see if it does it again tonight.

I hate to have to replace it cuz I will want to upgrade to a head unit w/ DVD and that :cool2: stuff ):h and thats gonna be big $$$:(

Well thanks for any input!!!

From my experiance Kenwoods tend to flip out from time to time...try reseting it, that useually works....

Well now the Piece Of SCensoredt will not do any thing, but it still has power cuz the faceplate moves a little bit. I've tryed pushing the reset button and even unpluging the wire harness... Nothing :mad: Anyone know anything about this??? If not I guess I'll have to buy a new one :(.

Also anyone have any suggestions on a new one? It must be mp3 and have at least 3 RCA outputs (one for the sub amp)

Thanks!!!

I bought one of the high end Kenwood’s and have had a lot of trouble with it. I will not buy another next will be a Pioneer or Panasonic.

Thanks for the replys & input!

JVC makes or use to make good HUs.

That sure does look good. But I wouldnt want to lose ON Star. Does anyone make a kit to interface onstar with an aftermarket head unit???
