Ok guys, I'm in need of some advice. I'm looking at replacing the stock radio in my 2011 xlt and I'm wondering what touch screen/ double din system works best with kicker speakers and hooks up the easiest with the stock harness or with little rewiring. I don't have sync or SW controls. I would like to be able to play CDs/DVDs and have Bluetooth for hands free calling. I've been looking at pioneer, specifically the 5700bhs. For the most part the reviews are pretty positive but the negative reviews worry me. Are there any other systems out there that you would recommend? Or am I over reacting to the pioneer system? Any advice is appreciated.

I installed a refurbished Kenwood dnx892 7" touchscreen Nav. HU, for 799.99 back in Augast. Its a nice setup, that has Nav., Bluetooth, Hd Radio, DVD, CD, Sirius/XM, 2 rear usb inputs, and More. Youll need to install a Module called the Maestro Rr, to retain Sync, and the Steering wheel controlls as I did.

If you retain Sync like I did for bluetooth phone calls, you can keep ad use the oem mic. If not youll need to install the aftermarket mic. I also installed a oem style oem bck up camera from The Camera Source...

I got this from Crutchfield.com, they have a great support team for any trouble or help you may have or need. The install was very simple, I installed everything myself in 3 hours!

Heres a few pics of my 892.... If you have anymore questions, or want to see anymore pics. Let me know...

Thanks. I don't have sync or SW controls so I'm not too worried about those features. is the back up camera factory or after market? I like how it's set up

Aftermarket, I got it from a forum vendor... TheCameraSource.com! Ran me 250.00 after discount... Super easy to install.

Freddy try to reflash it yourself... But if the Bugs remain. Like I suggested before, its probobly buggy and needs to be replaced for a new one!
