![]() While you don’t get the ‘standard’ iPod interface, the Kenwood interface is intuitive and works well. The iPod (in my case iPhone) integration is top notch. It’s illegal in most states to watch video while the vehicle is in motion. Keep in mind that video only works when the parking brake is pulled. This is handy when on a long trip & space is limited. The nice thing about DivX compression is that up to 4 movies can fit on 1 DVD. The chapter skip works fine for DVD’s, but pressing the same button on a DivX movie jumps to the next movie. You can fast forward 1x-3x, but you cannot scroll through the movie. The interface for playing DVD or DivX movies is pretty standard as well. I popped in a standard DVD and after about 20 seconds, the movie was playing. I suggest that if you’re going to use either of these to play music, organize the directories in a manner that’s easy to find what you want. The largest I’ve tried is a 1GB, so I’m not sure how large of a drive can be used. I was impressed that you can use a full 4gb DVD of music, but if it’s all in one directory it’s difficult to find a specific song. The interface is only as good as the organization on your disc or drive. The standard MP3 audio (WMA and unprotected AAC are also supported) from a DVD or USB thumbdrive sounds great. The unit is also satellite and HD radio ready, but I don’t use either of those services so I cannot comment on their performance. The 7120 handles just about every type of media you can imagine. The “Entertainment” category includes iPod integration, DVD/MP3 Audio, USB Audio, DVD Video, and DivX Video. I’ve organized this review into a few sections: Entertainment, Navigation, and Phone integration. We’ve had the 7120 installed for about a month now, and so far so good.
