Has anyone fitted one to their MINI?? Just wondering if the dash area beneath the speedo interferes with the screen etc?

The petrol/temp gauge are hidden when they are open. I just flick the close button if I need to check my fuel

Cheers Mikey, does the cheaper of the 3 Kenwoods have a choice of menu colours etc to match the dash lighting? Do you have the iPod adapter?

You can select the colour of the buttons & there are various wallpapers for the screen
BuT even better - put in a CD with JPEGS on it & you can have a pic of your car as the wallpaper whilst listening to radio, ipod etc

Anyone else got one of these? What are the odds on my MINI getting broken in to every 5 minutes if I get one?

The kenwoods have a removable security panel
& I am doing a bargain deal for Mini2 priv members of a kenwood 707 with ipod link £450 inc vat. 2 left

Does the 707 play DVD's?

Hi Durham, Mike fitted my Kenwood 725 and its brilliant DVD, SVCD, MP3 plays almost everything under the sun!
Check out my gallery for pics

Cheers, looking good. Mikey, I assume there are no issues with H/K processing??? with the right adapters.

Mike has all the correct adapters that will work with your screen, he is the master of ICE. I highly recommend him

The Kenwood Nav is amazing; Postcode input, and hundreds of POI its a gem for me when im doing mini runs or meeting one of the many hoes

btw dont watch pron whilst on the motorway made that mistake too many times

Keeps us updated on what you go with

Mike - Whats your best price on 627 with iPod adapter, HK adapter, aerial adapter and face plate adapter?

Looks like I have settled on the JVC KD-AVX. Not seen a bad report about it and cant really justify the extra costs to go for a 7" screen.

There are some bargain prices around on the JVC - £349.99
