New headunit installed
 
I haven't noticed any of these threads since I've been on the forum so thought I would post up the head unit I just got installed. It's the Kenwood DDX419 model. I did research and it got great reviews and was decent price so I went for it. The install cost more than expected but I'm very happy with the product. It's got all I wanted XM, Ipod hook up, bluetooth for phone calls and streaming audio, pandora, it's capable of being the screen for a reverse camera. Not sure if I will do the reverse camera or not but leaning towards getting one.

Here is the Crutchfield link

Here is the microphone for the bluetooth which works great. Has a slight delay but nothing that is noticeable unless you can actually hear the person talking which is what I did to test how it worked.

I would try uploading or hosting these files somewhere else. I think you tried to host them as an attachment in gmail. Maybe its just me, but I can't see the pictures.

Try a place like:

Well that makes sense why I've never had anyone comment on any pics I've posted up! It shows up fine on my end but I guess not to you :censored:. I posted the pics from Photobucket. Thanks for the heads up.

Looks real good and clean, what did it set ya back? Been debating in gettin one also..

Hondu 11-19-2012 03:43 PM

It was $300 for the unit itself then paid I think $50 for the xm tuner and a total of $200 for the install. All and all about $600 but can save some cash if you install it yourself. I just don't know enough about the electronics to trust myself to install everything clean and correctly.

Usually dont like buttons that big on the double-dins. But that is very clean, have me debating getting that one now instead of the alpine. Just because of the price haha

That's not a bad price at all, the ones I've been looking at we're around 600 bucks.. Thanks for the info.
