· Cell-phone models listed here have been tested and proven compatible by KENWOOD as of September, 2010. If any modification has been applied to the cell-phone after our test, available functions may be different from the content listed here.

· Number of characters available for each information display depends on the KENWOOD head unit"s display. All characters may not be displayed in all cases.

· Depending on the setting or status of the connected cell-phone, some functions may not work properly. For example on certain cell-phones, making a call via KENWOOD head unit is possible only while the cell-phone"s display is showing the standby screen.

· If the display does not show "Connect", "Pairing OK" and so on after the Pairing process is completed, Pairing has failed. If so, please retry Pairing after deleting the Pairing on both the KENWOOD unit and the device to be connected.

· There may be cases where automatic connection is not established properly even if "Auto Connect" is set to "ON". In this case, try again after confirming the settings of your cell-phone or turning the power off and then turning on again for both the KENWOOD unit and your cell-phone.

· KENWOOD head unit and cell-phone may not always match up properly (e.g. cell-phone doesn"t cut the line even if the KENWOOD head unit ends the display of call function, etc.).

· On certain cell-phones, Phonebook and Call History may not be identical between those of KENWOOD head unit and cell-phone. (e.g. Plus sign (+) may not be displayed depending on the cell-phone.)

If your cell-phone supports OPP, it is available to transfer your phonebook data from the cell-phone to KENWOOD head unit manually. The following operations are necessary to initiate/terminate phonebook transfer:

· Text characters of phone numbers that can be recognized on KENWOOD head unit are numerals 0 to 9, + (plus), *(asterisk), a to d, A to D and # (pound) signs. Unrecognizable characters will be skipped; make sure the correct number has been displayed before making a call from the phonebook.

· Even if your cell-phone supports PBAP, it may be not available to access the phonebook/call history data memorized in your cell-phone or SIM card depending on your cell-phone"s specification. And, after HFP connection is established between KENWOOD head unit and your cell-phone, it needs some time to be available to browse the phonebook/call history data on KENWOOD head unit automatically depending on your cell-phone and the number of phonebook/call history.

Did research on this unit and saw it in a local store on a display liked it and got a great deal on Amazon. Installed in a 2003 Toyota Sequoia SR5 with JBL Premium sound system. Was not a lot of info on the 2003 system and compatibility but after lengthy trail and error and elbow grease I can say this unit works as advertised. Speakers in the 2003 Sequoia are 2 ohm. However, front 6 speakers ( 3 in each door) are wired in series and driven directly from the amp. A 4 ohm speaker will work just fine in the front door panels. I wired the unit using the pre amps into a Metra 70-8113 harness that fed the stock JBL amp. I also replaced the door speakers with some pioneer speakers and am happy with the sound. As for the KW DNX571 - it has great features but lacks some key buttons that are sorely missed. For example - I installed Sirius XM SXV200v1 module for XM radio. Switching sources (XM to DVD to HD raido etc) is easy p one touch of the screen. However, changing the EQ settings for those different sources - not so much. You have to navigate into the menu and it takes three touches to get there then another two to select.change the settings - depending on what you want to adjust. There should be either a button or a touch prompt on each source screen that allows an instant change/menu to adjust the EQ for each source instead of having to go back thru the menu maze. At first this seemed OK - but after using the unit for two weeks, its quite annoying. The higher end models have a quick access audio adjust button - a worthwhile feature. The navigation unit works pretty good but I like to see where I need to go before the machine tells me to turn - I much prefer the google map navigation on the I-phone. As for the Blue tooth - I have not tried this yet as my wife drives the car a LOT and haven"t had a chance to couple the phones. One other annoyance is that the power antenna hookup logic is such that whenever the radio is turned on, the antenna always comes up and stays up whenever the unit is powered on unlike the stock unit where the antenna is only up when the radio source is selected. The illumination wire must be hooked into a light circuit, downstream of the the car parking/headlight switch. Tying it into the actual dash board dimmer circuit will not work. All dimming takes place within the unit and in a manner you pre-select. A simple design would have been to simply base it on voltage like the rest of the dash but instead, you hold the menu key (soft) down for like 3 secs and the dimming menu will appear. Adjust the lighting for dimmed and daylight then select SYNC. Unit will then dim automatically when the lights are turned on IF the illumination wire is tied into the parking light circuit of the vehicle. Setting this feature is not in the manual supplied with the unit - I learned this from another reviewer"s comments. The wiring diagram is OK but could use a lot more clarification and expansion. Having the vehicle"s wiring diagram is a must if you want to get all the features of this unit. Overall, I rank it a high 4 - it takes a hit for documentation, lack of quick key select buttons /touch button audio adjustment and for the antenna power design logic. I wish I had spent an extra $50-$60 bucks and gotten an 890 or similar. As for the slow start - yes - it takes what seems like a lifetime to turn on when you first turn it on - but after a couple of weeks, you get used to it. It doesn"t seem slow as some reviews mentioned, but it is not as crispy responsive as my Iphone 5 either. All in all, this is a great radio. My wife absolutely loves it and after all, that"s what counts. I would recommend it with the caveats listed above.

I have to say how disappointed I was after ordering my new touch screen Kenwood that advertised this great app to connect to your phone and as soon as I got it. It says not compatible with WAZE on the box but not in the description at purchase. Anyways the WebLink app is junk. It literally does nothing and my stereo is nothing but a Bluetooth stereo. Kenwood should be ashamed of this app what a waste I think this killed it for me and Kenwood my last stereo was a Pioneer which is way cheaper and better than my Kenwood. Bummer
