Well considering those things can cost more then what some people here paid for thier ENTIRE cars......

I couldn't see any problems with owning one, they seem reliable and Kenwood is a great company.....

sounds good! i need to know what some average street prices are for them though.........not stolen, just street value.

2,500 for just a new headunit isn't worth it to me so i'm going used.

depends on how old it is, what series it is and what condition its in. Make sure its complete with the headunit and the control box with all the cables. They have been making them for a few years now so make sure the part numbers match. If its last years in really good shape probably 1500.

One complaint that some people have is that the screens can eventually wear out from being touched so much. Other than that, people tend to be quite happy with them.

Thas a cute dog in your avitar.... I didnt know kenwood made touchscreens for vehicles. Panasonic (I think) has a touchscreen called the "Ghost". Its pretty f*ckin cool. Its a normal sized cd player, but the whole face is generated onto the black panel display. All touchsceen, no buttons what so ever (except maybe an eject button) Its only like $300 too .

yeah that's my little budy max.....he's my guardian westie!

figured my rott might scare people.


honestly i'd rather have the preimer unit over any other out there, however i'm not about to spend 2,500 for a 7" screen in my car. maybe one day, but not now.


i looked at the kenwood, it was "nice" i'll leave it at that. had no adjustability for glare and the screen was only 6.5 i think. it was alright but not 1200 alright you know.
