Cant deal with glare on kenwood - options? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hi all,

I have a kenwood dmx7706s head unit in my convertible. My understanding is this is a resistive type screen. The glare and reflections makes the screen unusable in sunlight with the top down. It’s to the point where I need to consider something else. I’ve tried adjusting settings and anti glare screens to put on top of it but they don’t work. So now I’m wondering if I could go with a different unit with capacitive screen and yield better results. Something like the Pioneer DMH-2660NEX. Would this potentially fix this problem or is it just something I’m going to have to deal with in a convertible.

Thanks for your help.

Mike

would something like an ipad screen protector cut down to size work?

I’ve tried other protectors and they don’t do anything. I’ve thought about trying that to see if it may be better than the limited options for the ready fit films.

Is anyone else with a convertible experiencing this issue??

Well I went ahead and put it up for sale, since it seems there isn't any other option.

What are you asking for it?

It’s already pending. Have it at $300 plus shipping. If it falls through I can let you know. It’s practically new. Thanks.
