AV Features
Control of iPhone, iPod and Video Playback
The DNX6960 is compatible with iPhone and iPod models as well as video playback. In addition to conventional searches for playlists, artists, albums and genres, additional search commands can also be performed for music videos, TV shows, movies, video playlists, etc. via the convenience of Voice Control Command.
Flick Through and Browse
A function similar to iPod�s Cover Flow is now featured on the DNX6960, allowing users to flick through and browse for music albums, video titles, photographs, etc. on connected media; the contents or titles of selected sources on the screen can also be viewed.
Split Screen
An improved GUI makes split-screen operation easier to operate. For example, the split screen displays two different screens side by side while the primary and secondary screens allow you to toggle between two frequently used screens via touch-screen operation.
Built-in Bluetooth
The eXcelon DNX6960 comes equipped with built-in Bluetooth capability to enable handsfree operation so you can keep your hands on the steering wheel where they belong and concentrate on the road ahead.
6.1-Inch Touchscreen with Variable Illumination
The DNX6960 puts intuitive control right at your fingertips with its 6.1" TFT Active Matrix Display and powerful, easy-to-use graphical user interface. Customize the unit's front panel illumination by choosing from a large palette of colors--match your interior tones, dash lighting, or whatever tickles your fancy. Selectable wallpapers and customizable backgrounds offer further personalization.
Enjoy Your Favorite Media
The DNX6960 is a media powerhouse, letting you play your favorite CDs and DVDs, along with several digital audio and video formats. The unit accepts DVD, DVD+R/RW, DVD-R/RW, CD, CD-R/RW, VCD and DTS-CD discs. It plays back AAC, MP3 and WMA audio files; MPEG1 video files; and can display JPEG images. Throw your files on a disc or a USB device and enjoy them in your vehicle wherever you are.
And of course, you can still listen to the AM/FM radio. Use Auto Memory to automatically add stations with good reception to presets, or enter them manually. The DNX6960 displays FM radio text when available, traffic information, and allows you to enter station names.
USB Direct Control
You can enjoy your favorite music, video or images from USB devices like flash drives or MP3 players. When connecting a USB device, playback starts automatically. When a battery-powered USB device like an MP3 player is connected to this unit, it also gets a charge, so it's ready to go with you when you exit the vehicle.
Input and Output
In addition to the iPod and USB support, you can use the DNX6960's front auxiliary A/V input to connect external audio/video sources like video game systems.
The unit also features an A/V output for sending content to an additional screen in the vehicle.
Plenty of Power, Room to Grow
The DNX6960 features an on-board 50W x 4 MOSFET amplifier, but also offers three sets of 5V preamp outputs (front/rear/subwoofer) for building your system.
System E's+ Crossover System
A single IC that allows the user to select from 8 different high-pass filter crossover frequencies plus pass-through, with independent selection for front and rear outputs. This makes it easy to optimize the performance of all amps and speakers in a car audio system without needing an external electronic crossover. System E's+ also incorporates a phase switch and low-pass filter for the non-fading output. The low-pass filter has selectable cutoff frequencies of 50Hz, 80Hz, 120Hz and Through.
System Q EX Sound Control
Five factory pre-set equalization curves (Rock, Top40, Pops, Jazz and Easy, plus a flat setting) and three speaker matching curves (OEM, 6x9, 5/4 plus a flat setting) that can be combined to give the user extreme flexibility over the sound's tonal character. The preset curves include midrange contouring, giving music more clarity and presence. System Q EX allows the user to modify the preset curves by changing the amplitude of the bass, midrange and treble compensation, and the Q of the bass and midrange compensation. The new curves can then be saved as presets for future recall
HD and SAT Radio Ready
The DNX6960 allows you to enjoy SIRIUS (requires CA-SR20V cable + Sirius Tuner) or XM (requires KCA-XM100V + XM Mini Tuner) radio in your vehicle. Enjoy a multitude of channels featuring music, news, talk shows, sports and traffic information with CD quality sound.
You can also add an HD Radio tuner (requires KTC-HR300). When you connect an HD Radio, Tuner features of the unit are disabled and changed to HD Radio tuner features.
Rear Camera Input
The DNX6960 is ready for a rear camera, allowing you to monitor behind your vehicle as you back up.

Very Pleased With The DNX6960 : Kenwood Excelon DNX6960 6.1" In-Dash Double-DIN Navigation DVD Receiver
I placed an order through Amazon.com with Car Toys for the DNX6960 on 14 February 2011. Wanted to buy from Car Toys as Kenwood's web site lists them as an authorized internet retailer, this ensures that I will be able to receive Kenwood's Direct Warranty Service. Car Toys shipped the unit quickly and it arrived in excellent condition.
I easily installed the unit on 03/10/2011 in addition to these Kenwood Accessories; KTC-HR300 HD Radio Tuner and a Kenwood KCA-iP302 iPhone/iPod Hi-Speed Audio and Video Cable (latest model). The accessories connected easily and interfaced flawlessly with the unit. The most difficult part of the install was finding a concealed location in my Harley Truck to mount the HD Tuner Box, its 6 �" x 1 3/8" x 4 5/16" size proved a bit challenging. The Navi's GPS Antenna was mounted under the plastic wiper cowl, and to my surprise the unit immediately began acquiring satellites inside my garage after the ignition was keyed on. I've just begun to adjust the audio and radio settings, will move on to customizing the display and then setting up the Navi and Bluetooth Systems. A 4th Gen iPod Touch will be added in a couple of weeks.
Bottom Line: Although I've had very little actual hands-on time using the actual features and functions of the DNX6960. I'm VERY optimistic that I will enjoy this unit very much once I've completed the setup of its Navi and Bluetooth Systems, and finally installed an ipod Touch for MP3/video play. The unit is basically plug and play if you use the correct harness adapter to connect it to your stock wiring harness. Just make sure you plan ahead for a good location if you're adding any sizeable additional accessory.
UPDATE: (03/14/11) The Hands-Free setup for the Bluetooth connection with my Motorola Cell Phone was a breeze, and my phones address book was automatically transfered to the DNX6960. After listening to how well the DNX6960 played HD Radio and CD's, I quickly decided that I would not wait two weeks to get a MP3 player, I purchased a 32GB iPod Touch 4th Gen the weekend following the units install. WOW! I'm very impressed with the way it interfaces with the Kenwood. The sound is VERY good and using the playlists I setup on the iPod Touch makes selecting and listing to artists and tracks a breeze, that also makes it much safer to do while driving too. Boot up time is a tad slow, but I have remote start, so the unit can be fully operational and playing by the time I reach the vehicle. I recommend to anyone planning to connect an iPod or iPhone to this or any Kenwood HU, make sure that you buy an actual Kenwood iPod/iPhone Audio and Video Adapter Cable. It's possible that some who get lousy iPod/iPhone performance, do so because they are actually using a Kenwood Compatible Cable, not a Kenwood Sourced Cable. For me, the addition of the iPod Touch ups the audio ante and makes listening to the DNX6960 an even more enjoyable audio treat!
Wanted my Bluetooth Microphone in an unobtrusive location, so I slid its little stand behind the top of the A-Pillar Cover and the cable is routed behind the pillar cover down and out behind the driver's side kick panel, then underneath the dash to the unit. The microphone is barely visible, even from inside the vehicle. It has just enough cable exposed to allow it to be swiveled forward or rearward depending on the drivers height. So with my GPS Antenna concealed and the Bluetooth Microphone almost invisible, I feel I'm a less conspicuous target to thieves.
