Ditto to what others have said on the Kenwood paired with the Idatalink maestro unit. You can maintain all stock sync / steering wheel controls functions, you can even reprogram steering wheel controls to perform different functions if you want. Haven't posted my pics yet but I have just finished installing a Kenwood DNX691 with the maestro RR unit and absolutely love it.

I hope this doesn't sound stupid....but did you guys have screens in your trucks and just upgraded to a different head unit or did you not have a screen at all?

That's my point. Everyone that posted and upgraded seems to come from the stock stereo.

I'm working with the Sony "700" system.

Nonetheless, thanks to everyone that took the time to post!!

Doesn't make a bit of difference what you have now because you will need a whole new center stack bezel (Metra or Scosche) if you want to go aftermarket.

I am not a fan of that kit, there is one that is coming out that looks decent.

What I hate about the kits that are out (Metra) that keep the upper 4 inch display is that the larger screen would be on the bottom. Way too low for my taste. It just looks like it would be out of place. I've never seen a large screen that far down.

Agreed 100%, but I'm not worried about the bezel, I'm concerned with the integration of a aftermarket HU to the OEM system.

I want a full plug n play with full OEM capabilities, minus a few things of course. lady voice, ect...
