Love It
Does everything it says it will. Love that it is very customizeable. Bought a 4th Gen iPod Nano for $100 and now I have music, music videos, TV shows, and movies at my fingertips. I did a lot of research and chose this above all of the other comparable models from other brands. Garmin Nav is also great.

Your Dnx 7120 does have a SD card reader built into it!
I have to say the Dnx 7120 is a nice peice of equipment for the price. It took me about 2 months of compairing different double din nav systes to finally find the right one!I have had this unit now for a yr and other then the fact it sometimes the digital voice telling you which way to turn starts acting up its a great system. But i fixed that problem with the new firmware update from Garmin.For all those people who think the DNX 7120 doesnt have a SD card reader built into it im here to tell you yes it does!Just hold down the eject button that lowers the screen for a few seconds longer and wha la there it is right under the disc insert slot.So if you have an SD card just make a folder on it that says "Garmin" place your update in there and then insirt it into your system and turn it to the nav screen. It will start the automatic update of your firmware. Its that simple!It works the same way with the new map data as well.But the new 2009 maps arent worth getting not unless you want the updated 200 more roads and 2000 more POI's on your system.But all in all i love this system and it sounds wonderful with my cars BOSE sound system.

The user manuals would have been better if chips wrote them
Its a fine product as far as I can tell, until you want to do anything cool or interesting with it and then good luck. Kenwood manuals are deplorable, when you call customer support they slough you off on Garmin and poor Garmin sends you back to Kenwood (when it really is a Kenwood issue).
So save yourself 4 hours on the phone if you buy the product, when you go to update it with an SD card and you discover there is NO SD card slot available, be warm in the knowledge that this is what you do and you will not find the data in a manual...hold the disk eject button for 5 seconds, maybe longer and lo and behold the screen pops down an additional inch or so to reveal a hidden SD slot. There is more hair pulling out fun after that in getting the machine to update, but at least you don't think yourself daft looking for the invisible SD reader.
I have several Garmin GPS's and I think this is by far my least favorite, beyond that comparison, I think its a nice all around all in one unit. It is by far not the best all in one but not the worst either, doesn't say a whole lot eh? (I have three cars and each has a different unit) The manuals being unhelpful and customer support being indifferent makes this a completely sub-par experience not worthy of repeating if I can help it.

Worked out well
I bought this over Christmas to install in my Accord. It worked out great. The Garmin navigation speaks for itself, theres no use reviewing it other than it is perfect, fast, and accurate.
I also setup the Sirius satellite radio extension. It should be noted that both the gps and Sirius antennas will work when wired through your air vents and secured to your dashboard so that they can see up through your windshield. Neither (as the Sirius one will claim) needs to be installed on the exterior of the vehicle. NOTE: those of you with after-market car tinting, make sure the tinting film is not metallic, it will inter fer with your signal.
Gounding the brake detection wire will disable the parking brake requirement to play any sort of video, which is required by law in most (if not all) states.
Startup time on a 60 degree day is about 10 seconds. Those of you interested in changing the stock start-up image from the basic blue and white Kenwood stuff, need a special convert file from Kenwood.
Lucky for you, I've indexed it in torrents, and rapidshare for everyone's use. Included in this zip file is a text file with instructions, and the convert file that you need for the unit. You will also need a USB drive (and more importantly, access to the USB port, keep this in mind before you install).

Love this navigation
Got this for my 08 Tacoma. Was easy to install and the Garmin Navigation is fantastic. For the money, this is best aftermarket in dash navigation for my truck.
