kenwood and rear cam

Dthrill_08 · Wed Apr 16, 2014 5:42 pm

I just installed this yesterday. I still need the hid, tints, maybe a car back. Little by little. Sorry for the bad quality pics. I am thinking of changing the Kenwood unit lights to white to match the cluster. What do you think? Anyone know if you can program the Kenwood to have the Suzuki logo on start up?

How difficult was it to wire? Do the steering wheel controls still work?

I've always wanted to do this with a rear view camera but I hate how out of place those units look.

Also, interesting camera placement... Any reason why you choose that spot?

I didn't do this my self. I went to place. Originally they wanted to place it on license plate but then suggested doing it next to the s so I told them to debadge and place it dead center. The view is good but you can't see the bumper too well . the wheel controls don't work yet but I'm installing a module or different wires to make it work. I just like aux or blue tooth which my stock one didn't provide. If I had the Kenwood nav one I wouldn't have done it

Looks nice, That kenwood looks like the 570hd. 1 radio that i would never recommend to anyone, the firmwares on that specific model has been messing up, Kenwood has been slacking with theyre stuff..

When u put a new radio in you do lose you steering wheel control functions unless you get a ASWC-1 by Axxess Interface.

As far as puttin the logo with you start up the radio, u would need to put a picture of the Suzuki logo into the radio via USB or SD Card, save it on there and go to system menu and chose a start up image.

I put it there because I thought it looks good. Originally it was supposed to be by the plate but then he suggested next to the "S" symbol but I told him to debadge it and put it in the middle. Newer cars have it there stock. It's a small cam so it's not over kill and it's more difficult to steal.

My Kenwood is the DDX371 or something like that. It is actually a new model. Thank you for showing me how to input a picture. Yes they mentioned it to me about the steering. I could of put them on but it was an extra $100 dollars or something. I am wondering if I can install it myself.
