    Probably only a matter of time when it will be installed in all new vehicles, with a little carpet that rolls out and engine can only be started after the prayer has finished playing.


    Shit , I shouldn't posted that idea, I could have patented it!
    Well at least nobody else can get filthy rich from that idea as I just made it public domain


    ...at least I answered Loopy's question

    It's probably made in Indonesia, so they probably need prayers to help them drive safely.

    No Bob, they might THINK they need prayers, but in truth they are as deluded as every other religious cult.

    Point taken though.......
    The fact that there's a highway to hell and a stairway to heaven says a lot about the anticipated traffic flow.

    And they were so smart banning alcohol and drugs, they didn't want their believers wasting their money on such products then having less money to devote to the faith

    Thanks for that, Kenwood is now added to the list of products I refuse to buy because of Halal certification

    I guess the question needs to be asked

    Was this from a Australian Delivered Kenwood product???
    Or did someone buy this from overseas on eBay or Ali

    That actually says something.
    Is it not bigoted and "non inclusive" or what ever the PC lefty term is NOT to include Prayers from other religions as well?
    I think religion is Twaddle BUT, if you are going to include it for one, then playing the leftie PC game, WTF isn't there something there for everyone?

    While I don't believe, Had I known the stereo had a built in prayer, I sure would have used that feature each and every time I took my daughter for a driving lesson... Could have used all the help/ luck I could get with that!
    May not be a bad thing the way the Mrs drives quite often as well.

    You can bet your arse if there was a Christian, Jewish, Hindu or Buddist prayer in the thing but no islumic acknowledgement, They would be scream their beards off and be threatening to blow up the factory and behead the workers.

    If you Google "Kenwood ddx919wsm", the only links that come up are "KENWOOD Middle East, Mediterranean & Africa "



    and "Rivonia Carsound"....located in Johannesburg:



    So, it's looking very much like this is a unit aimed at a specific market.

    Be interesting to know how it got all the way out to Oz........or do Kenwood know something that we don't.

    As an atheist I'm a bit ignorant when it comes to praying, but I did think it was meant to be sincere and come from the person praying. So apparently just playing a recording of a prayer counts? That's handy.

    In that case I've got an idea for lazy Christians. A dashcam that uses AI to detect when you are just about to have an accident, then it recites the Lord's prayer at x100 speed. Should sell.

    Should be an absolute sellout once autonomous EV's become prolific.

    Only downside could be that the Christian market mightn't be very big by then

    I can't believe i've been so stupid.... of course they have the prayer in the Kenwood unit.
    Let me explain...........

    "Dirka Dirka, Mohammed Jihad. Shirpa, Happa, Shirpa Shirpa. Dirka Allah"
