I want a full plug n play with full OEM capabilities, minus a few things of course. lady voice, ect...
Go with kenwood and maestro it retains all oem features! Or the new alpine 9"!

I've got a kenwood 890hd in mine. Badass little unit for sure. The DNN series is the way to go now though. Like others have stated, the maestro is the best way to do it!


Also I've had friends with alpine and pioneer units and they're garbage. The nav also sucks on those. Kenwood gets garmin nav!

Did you retain all factory controls such as climate, heated/cooled seats, etc?

That is an option for the maestro. So yes. But my heated seats are still on the buttons and my climate is still on that small screen above the nav unit like all non nav 150s prior to 13s.

Oh ok so if I have nav and crappy Sony 700 watt system on my '13 with the seat and climate controls I could keep them with the kenwood and meastro unit?

Yes, the newer HU's show the heated/cooled seats on screen just as the stock touchscreen does!

But, the dash bezels arent out yet, except for that 1 tacky one that puts the HU on the Bottom of the center stack!
