Kenwood have been manufacturing audio devices for nearabout 70 years. They started in Japan under the name of Kagsuga radio company. Los Angeles in the 1960′s is where they opened an office for the States. But not until the 1980′s did the kenwood name materialize.
In order to retail their products more efficiently, the company’s owners that a change in name was in order. Kenwood was the name they came up with, as ken is both a western and Japanese name, with the wood part coming from hollywood.
The first anti-theft radio was one of a couple of innovations that Kenwood have come up with over the years.
In the 1990′s, McLaren licensed Kenwood to supply a lightweight car radio system for their formula one cars. Kenwood endorsed their items through formula 1 during that time. Their audio systems are fitted as standard on some Lambourghini models.
In recent times they design a choice of product ranges, not soley audio units. They supply all kinds of models car entertainment and navigation receivers. One such model is the Kenwood dnx6160, which has a range of functions. A navigation receiver is included into this receiver, with a few functions of its own. Incorporating voice guidance, text to speech, 500 programmable way points, eco route and six million points of interest.
The eco route function is a good feature, it can help you save money on gas overheads. The soaring oil prices, this is always helpful. Get reports on your driving performance, this will aid in the process of you driving more fuel efficiently. It can also point you on a route that is the most fuel efficient.
The dnx6160 has all the playback options you could hope for. So whichever format your music or movies are recorded in, this receiver will be sure to play it. You can make hands free cell calls, with the unit’s bluetooth connectivity. Always a good idea when driving.
The kenwood dnx 6160 review, a good quality system with heaps of functions. Not enough standard features included unfortunately, too many optional extras.
There are heaps of these units on sale at the moment. It is not surprising with most people traveling a colossal amount of miles these days.
