I really like this, it's way more useful than Android Auto as you can use any apps, not just compatible ones. It also doesn't change the text size so you can see a good amount of info, unlike Auto which seems to be designed for the driver behind you to read. I've given 5 stars but I hope future improvements are made. The app should force the phone to landscape when it connects, I want to be able to connect the cable and then throw the phone in the glovebox. It would be even better if I didn't have to connect the lead at all but I know that is way to much data traffic for Bluetooth - why don't head units have wifi? ;)

This app *does* work. It's simply not well documented, which Kenwood must address to stop the negative reviews. - There is no UI, the main launch activity does not display anything, this is why launching it appears to do nothing. - It starts when you connect USB (after setting the head-unit device mode to Mirroring for Kenwood as described in the head-unit manual). - It simply mirrors your screen. It does not change the resolution, rotation, screen timeouts etc. To aid with this, you can try the app called "Second Screen" which can automate some of these things. Once you are in a full-screen landscape app with the screen timeout disabled (for example a navigation app), it works very well. Thanks Kenwood!

After changing like 15 settings, it prompts every second and still only displays (at a useless portait ratio) when it's the only app open. This was a primary selling feature for me. Colossal disappointment. $1,000 phone. $1,000 radio (DDX9907XR), and also didn't work for DNX697S.
