Default Kenwood DNX890 HD v1.70 and Maestro

Just updated my Kenwood firmware to V1.70. Much faster and smoother all around. 100x better with sync. However I think I found one small glitch. In an attempt to reconfigure my gauge display, when in done selecting and return to the gauge screen, it reboots the unit. I have to reset the maestro to be able to atleast get back to the default gauges. So basically if I try and set boost/vacuum to the middle gauge and hit back it reboots the entire until, and each time I go into gauges from the my F150 MENU it's reboots the unit. And this all started immediately after updating the firmware to 1.70. Everything else is sooo much better. Other than that it operates 100% better than v1.60..Any thoughts?

I just ordered this deck. I hate to hear that you're having trouble with it. Other than having to reboot from the gauges menu how do you like it? How's the nav?

I had a DNX890HD w/Maestro until last week. The navigation software is great, its Garmin. Very easy to operate.


The only thing I didn't like about my setup was the fact that there were no "hard" ***** or buttons, everything was either operated by touch screen or steering wheel controls ( I don't consider the tiny buttons below the touch screen sufficient).


To be fair, I think I am the only one complaining about this, overall the unit is great and procuced an exceptional sound with the four Kenwood speakers I installed.

Actually got it fixed man. All I had to do was reflash the maestro module. I was a little disappointed with the unit until I flashed firmware v1.70. The unit is much smoother and works much better with sync. If you turn animations off its more smoother

Is there a way to change the time to 24-hour format?
