Bought Kenwood HU Dnx5160..! Not happy..

[edjamesx]

Earlier owned Pioneer HU single din in my first car.
Now i bought Kenwood HU Dnx5160 with touch screen model for my new car.

For booting itself it takes 5-6 secs.
The user interface is pathetic. Touch screen is not much sensitive.
From any screen there's no way to go back to previous screen..always you have to come from the begining.

Increasing the voulme nob takes sometime to increase volume level. Browsing for songs is very difficult.

Picture quality is good. But sound quality is avarage. The highs are not good like in my old pioneer system. Very mild sound.. not louder.

In any case i felt Pioneer is far more better than kenwood system.

Since i got it from malaysia it came around 15 k. Pioneer costs less than that. I should have bought pioneer itself.
Since i already owned pioneer thought try something different..

I would like my car headunit to play all formats.. Or future plan is to add a media player... :licklips:

CAR PC is the better option. Any time upgradable.. Can support any format.
Easily customizable.

My initial plan to go with car PC.. but due to budget constraint left it.

Is it a resistive touch screen? Never buy any product without a capacitive touch screen.

Also the UI (including cmdline interface - choice of switches/flags, keywords etc) of most APAC designed products suck big time.
