grayta's 2012 Ford Focus Build

Just ordered the Kenwood DDX370 for a little birthday gift to myself.  Going to sell the Kenwood X-995 for $150 (shipped).  Going to do away with my iPad Mini mount.  I change my mind so much haha.

I would of gone for the DDx470 we sell a ton of them and they are great, however the KDC-995 has better processing.

I was thinking about the 470 but decided to go with the 370 instead to save some extra cash.  What is the biggest difference between the 470 and the 370?  I couldn't find much difference besides bluetooth.  I just wanted a decent touch screen that doesn't lag too much when I scroll through my music via USB.  Not to worried about the pre amps on it because I am using the Clarion EQS746 for the 7V pre-outs.

I will probably regret not having the bluetooth later on.  I should have just forked out the extra $50.  Haha

The 470 is our most popular sold unit at our shop. Very well priced with a lot of great features. I had the 7" version for awhile.

Yea I have always liked Kenwood.  They always out-do their products.  How was the 7 inch?What kind of shop do you work in?  An online site or do you own or work at a local shop in your area?  

[grayta 23]

Came home to my new head unit.

 

 

Now for the install, I kind of left all the wiring out of it but here you go..

Bye Bye cheap iPad mini setup and Kenwood X995, you were awesome..

 

 

Hello Kenwood DDX370

 

 

Here it is all installed!!  BTW I removed the clarion eqs and installed it in the back of the vehicle. I kept it for the 7V pre-outs.  I never really changed the tuning of the eqs after i tuned it.  All I used it for was the sub/main volume.  Now I just use the head unit knob for the main volume and the PAC-LC1 I re-installed (still need to clean around it, some super glue leaked out lol) for the sub volume.  I think it looks more OEM, which I think is a lot cleaner.

 

 

 

Anyone have an idea how to get super glue off plastic?  It is just around it and I can reach it with a cue tip.  I have heard nail polish remover works.  Maybe I can get my girlfriend to lend me some, or just take it lol

[crackinhedz 51]

Looks great!

 

Where does that toggle switch underneath the head unit in pic #3 go to?

[grayta 23]

Thank you, Sir!  It goes to my voltmeter because it is so bright at night, lol.  I usually leave it off unless I am going to a show to monitor the voltage.  I just remove the outer-part of the radio and hit the switch and put the outer-part back on.  Takes about a minute.. lol

Very nice I have to see it either in Smyrna or in Glenn burnie

Finally got a chance to do a couple things to my car today.  A little while ago I purchased a YOBO FC16, its a portable Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) that runs on the actual cartridge and not roms or emulators.  I had an idea about putting it in my car for a while now.  Now that I have a head unit with a 6.1 inch screen with av inputs I figured why not try it out.  I also thought, who the hell has a super nintendo in their car???  lol Well, now I can say I DO  .  Here are the pics.  

 

I am putting it inside my glove box that way I can hide the system.  The unit comes with 2 bluetooth controllers shaped like the old snes controllers, a tv input, the console and a charging cable.  It has a lithium battery in it so it doesn't need to be plugged in all the time.  I only have one game for it now which is Super Mario All Stars, which has all the classic Marios on it.  I will buy more games soon for some multiplayer action. lol To make all this happen I bought a cheap inverter that plugs in to a cigarette lighter and an extension cord.

 

 

 

Had to pop this part off so I could run the wires to the glove box.

 

 

About to plug in the AV input.

 

 

You can't really see it but I was able to hide the small inverter and plug under the center console which is the part I am showing you now.

 

 

Now I am going to plug everything into the YOBO FC16..

 

 

Make it look neat.. Velcro is holding it in there..

 

 

Now to hit the switch on the left side of the console to turn it on to make sure it works before I start putting everything back together lol.

 

 

I ran the charger plug near my shifter/ parking break.  The console tells me when the battery is low so then all I have to do is plug it in to let it charge and take it out when it's done charging.

 

 

 

Here is a short video of it in action!  CLICK THE PIC FOR THE VIDEO.  I was not driving during this, it was just a little windy outside.  Also, the volume was down and my damn controller's battery was dead.  I had to put them on the charger. lol

 

[grayta 23]

Finally made a video of some flex.  My trunk is well deadened so I barely have any flex back there which is AWESOME!! lol Anyways, the wires are extremely messy because I am getting ready for my new build so please just look away from the mess haha.  CLICK THE PIC FOR THE VID and enjoy!!

 

Trunk Muzik (DJ SLOW N THROW REMIX) yes, i like DJSNT lol.

 

EDIT: Found out how to post youtube videos now..

What are the specs on the box

[grayta 23]

Slowly but surely moving to all Sundown Audio products.. Just ordered the Sundown SAZ2500D v1 and Sundown SAX100.4 off of DB-R Electronics to replace my Hifonics amps.  Now my hifonics amps are for sale.  I will be posting them up on the classifieds soon.  Next are some Sundown components but that will be whenever my Infinity Kappas die and hopefully they last a long time haha

 

PROOF lol Didn't want to put my actual receipt up here and block everything out.
