External Switch Control:

For A James Bond Kind of Touchscreen

All 2008 eXcelon multimedia units and the Kenwood the DNX7120 and DDX712 include two external switch controls accessible from the main screen. This truly custom feature lets your customers con- trol external electronic devices right from on-screen icons and is an excellent selling feature.

Remember, the External Switches are just a trigger and need to be prop- erly wired to an external relay for powering electrical devices. Individual switches can be set to either “latched”or “pulse.” The latched setting is like flipping a light switch—it’s either always on or off. The pulsed set- ting turns on at the button push, but only stays on for a pre-determined amount of time before automatically switching off.

So Easy A Grown-up Can Use It

Our 2008 touchscreen interfaces are so easy to use, your technophobic grandmother will be hooked. Don’t look for the V Select button on our new 7 and 8 series monitors because it’s not there. When users se- lect the source, like navigation on the front screen, it takes them right to navigation screen. What a concept! Hit the DVD icon and the motorized screen is ready to load. Plug in an iPod and the screen goes right to that source. (Hard key select buttons are still located on the front panel.) It will also display album artwork (if available) for both audio and video files; the artwork is displayed in the window on left side of the screen.

Three-skin menu is back on the 7 and 8 series models with a few twists, like a motion graphic flame and carbon-like background. Three skin se- lect is available in fire, water and line pattern and is accessed directly from the main screen.

Pick Your Faves

Our 2008 eXcelon and Kenwood video units include a Source Select feature that lets you pick three favorite icons,

like iPod, Tuner, and DVD. Selectable from the Setup menu, choose any source you want, and you can even name the icons like PlayStation instead something lame like Video 1 or Video 2.

Bring It on Back

This year’s 7 and 8 series DDX and DNX models also allow users to select the panel close position that best matches the tilt of the vehicle’s console. Whenever the key is turned off, the unit will go back to the home position or saved position. The panel’s close position is stored in non- volatile memory so it remains even if battery power is lost.

Background Check

Our 2008 line lets you trans- fer and store three digital images to use as a wall- paper background. Simply save the images to a USB thumb drive and transfer the images to the monitor’s memory using the USB con- nection. Up to three images
