Nice, | like the iPod in the arm rest. in the glove box gets anoying.
What happened to your Pioneer idea? what install kit is that?

Re: New addition.

Pioneer idea?

The install kit was just the Kenwood DDX7019, and a Scosche VW01B / VW01 wiring harness. It took like four very late nights to install it all properly. I initially didn't think I would be taking my centre console out, but low and behold in order to properly hit the parking brake I needed to bring half the guts out.

Re: New addition.

Nice work! Looks good, do you get nav. now as well?

Re: New addition.

Nah, no nav. That would have been yet another big piece that I would need to hide in the car. Plus with the nav system you get the joy of running cables into the rear shelf. As is, if I need to go somewhere I can always just Google map it in advance.

Re: New addition.

After you told me about the Pioneer D3 at the Sept meet, I started looking into it and eventually went that route. Does the Kenwood do Ipod video aswell?

Re: New addition.

I went with the Pioneer D3 as well. Only extra part was the Nav antenna that I hid in the engine bay. Nothing big to hide.

Re: New addition.

I was initially looking at the D3, but after doing some research I found that I liked the interface and features on the Kenwood to fit my wants a little more. For instance the iPod controls are spot on. Plus I managed to fit the bluetooth adaptor behind my front ashtray while the mic is on the top of my steering column.

Rob, the Kenwood can handle the following.
- iPod
- Bluetooth
- Nav
- TV
- HD Radio
- Satellite Radio
- DVD (virtually all formats)
- CD
- USB devices
- Radio

Re: New addition.

Sounds like it's a comparable unit, I'll agree that the Pioneer Ipod interface lacks a little. I'll have to check it out at the next meet.

Re: New addition.

Yeah bud, absolutely! Hopefully I'll be getting my speakers in very soon as well!
