Kenwood Dnx-7160 6.95" Multimedia Navigation Receiver With Bluetooth
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

Great Navigation and Sound - Could have better interface
I have the Aussie 7360 version, identical apart from locale settings.
First up, I had the reset issue that some owners have experienced with this model and also the DNX-9960 model. This has been fixed with an easy to load firmware update off the Kenwood website. If the FW on your unit is 1.0.0, then update as other slight improvements have been made to the iPod interface.
My main reason to choose the Kenwood was the Garmin navigation which I've used for several years and prefer over other SatNav systems. Could be just familiarity but I do like its no-nonsense interface.

Do not buy Kenwood DNX7160
The Kenwood DNX7160 is a very disappointing unit! The first unit continuously reset, forcing us to program in all the settings over and over. To the credit of the Fry's store that sold and installed it, they replaced the unit which was 1 week old with a new one which fixed the problem. Within months the navigation went defective - the detailed streets would disappear after 15-20 seconds, although major streets remained. We had to ship it at our expense(insured since it is so expensive) to a repair center. We are now informed by the repair center that the parts needed are out of stock, so we how have a nice looking very quiet hole in our dash for an undetermined amount of time. Bottom line; reliability is bad.
Interface is also poor; too complicated with small buttons at the bottom. If you are not the "techy" type, this one is not for you.
Wish I had my money back...don't make the same mistake I did!
Excellent Aftermarket Receiver
Installed, it has a totally "finished" look in my truck. The GPS navigation is excellent and the sound is also excellent. Easy to use. Fairly simple to install, but needed a wiring harness and a panel bezel that were not included. Both of these were obtained from Metra Electronics.
