I'll let you know how it goes Sat.

I ordered my DVD player from the same company. I looked at all of the big names. The reason why I went with Kenwood was price, style, ease of use, etc. I played with it at Best Buy before I ordered.
Sounds like an easy job, but how do u know how much to cut? and how is the metra kit installed after the cutting process? i have a DD im not using an really need to upgrade the sound system lol, thanx

Not sure how similar the dash is between our year models, though.

I especially like that it has a removable faceplate. I can feel a little safer when I park downtown!

Well what radii do you have? Is it the six disc changer. If so you'll have to cut two different parts of your dash
