Kenwood NAV Install

schneidercom · Feb 22, 2009

I just ordered the DNX6140 which has iPhone compatibility and built-in Bluetooth. I am replacing an '07 Premium 6 Monsoon head unit... do I need an amp converter? Crutchfield asked if I had 10 speakers or 11, I don't know... how do I find out?

Here is my parts list so far:
NEW Kenwood DNX6140 DVD CD MP3+GPS NAVIGATION+BLUETOOTH - $790
Kenwood KCA-IP301V (for 2009 Models) - $30
BMW VOLKSWAGON 02-06 RADIO WIRE HARNESS EWH 1010 9003 - $4
PAC SWI-CAN STEERING WHEEL INTERFACE - $50
VW TOUAREG 04-UP RADIO DASH KIT - METRA 95-9009 - $19
PAC SWI-JACK JVC KENWOOD STEERING WHEEL INTERFACE - $40
VW TOUAREG 04-UP RADIO DASH KIT - METRA 95-9009 - $19
METRA 40-EU55 2002-08 VW/BMW POWERED ANTENNA ADAPTOR - $20

Do I need anything else?

Regards,

Todd

What is the powered antenna adaptor for?
Why do you have the radio dash kit twice and two steering wheel interfaces?

Sorry, one of them should say the Metra Double DIN trim kit. And the the antenna adapter is necessary to convert from Euro antenna (right?)

How did the install go

I've got a 2004 Touareg and live here in Charlottesville and Crutchfield installed the Kenwood DNX7140 for me but they said the PAC unit you describe for steering wheel control of volume, etc. wouldn't work in my car. Did you get the steering wheel controls to work with your unit? Do you know the date of production on your Reg? Thanks.

Everything works

The Steering wheel controller works just fine. I have an 07 Treg with the DNX6140 and it was complicated, but it works great.

Did you end up having to bypass an amplifier, or does your Touareg not have a factory amp?

Did you use the PAC SWI-Jack and the SWI-CAN for the installation?

Yes, both.
