Garmin GPS in my Jeep
Live demonstration of my Garmin GPS unit (KNA-G510) running on my Kenwood Excelon KVT-817DVD in a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Small menu and route plotting demonstration. Display folds and closes at the end of the video. Driving in Cedarville, Ohio.
The turn by turn directions are excellent, it will always let you know when to turn. If you miss a turn, it will “recalculate” and tell you where to take your next turn in order to still continue toward your destination. Great stuff.
If I could I would, but all I have is the original which is a 700MB AVI file…
Hi,
BTW-I noticed the music would pause or wind down whenever the GPS system had any instructions. Is that a standard feature in this system or did you have to configure the GS system to achieve this effect?
This is a great feature that is only available for the Kenwood units that are powered by supported Garmin add-ons (like the KNA-510G). The head unit is a Kenwood but the Garmin unit was specifically designed to work with this Kenwood unit hand-in-hand, so the volume going down is a feature built in to the Kenwood unit. Does this clarify?
Which model and size is that?
Nevermind, I found it in your description. Thanks for the video
But I would like to know, how did you get your Garmin installed like that?
Will it be hard to remove and transfer into another vehicle?
Yes it does thanks. I am probably going to buy it then:)
Can you help with one more query pls?Can the GPS/Audio system be integrated with the steering controls?
The two controls (volume control, channel control) are the behind the wheel and are rendered dead by any aftermarket radio. However, there are many kits out there that are about $50 which activate those controls to work with aftermarket radios. I haven’t purchased one yet but I plan to eventually.
When you upgrade the software, is it free?
I guess not.
Yes it is….it would be much easier to get the Kenwood DNX model that comes with Garmin already installed.
Heyy. that looks great. Im planning on getting the Kna-g510. I have the ddx-7019. I just wanted to ask what is that song thats playing?
Not Over Yet by Paul Oakenfold and if I had to guess he was listening to Sirius Satellite channel 36 “the beat” Dance hits.
I listen to the beat all the time, as soon as you said paul oakenfield I was like “hmm, where have I head that name before?” lol
if you are just driving in view mode, will it still tell you the street ahead?
Hey. It will tell you the street ahead when its not navigating a route but it wont announce it…
Wow, thank you. Thats my next upgrade for my KVT. SD Card, right?
Wow, I never seen it before. I glad GPS received
that how much speed numbers. But where is approximately address numbers are into it?!
Notice during the first few seconds he has the option of hitting “spell it” but instead chooses “my locations” which is already aware of a previous destination……you do have the option of spelling out address,street name etc….
That’s great to have the option for address
number per street, that’s cool! We will ask
to city council, so they don’t need to add
address numbers put on the street-name signs.
Yes Garmin is Totally free.
Question Does it tell you stay on left or Right when your reaching a Fork?
It shows the shaded area to where your vehicle is to approach plus will inform you to stay left or right before reaching the fork itself.
now only if it would display the speed limit =(
