Well I found refurb headunits (Kenwood MP919's) for sale on Ebay for 190 like new in the box with all accessories and install kits but I went ahead a bought a new unit.
I got a Sony.
It seems to sound quite a bit better than the Kenwood and it has a 4yr warranty
I got it installed with the warranty for about 280.00$. It was on sale at a brand new Best Buy. They did a very good job of installing it and were really easy to deal with compared to Car Toys or Hawk etc.
They did not charge me for the harness and really cut me a good deal over all.
I gave the broke Kenwood to a friend and he is going to perform the ribbon cable fix. Mazda was going to replace it but I had to ******* ARGUE with them and show them the window sticker that cleary lists on it "KENWOOD 450 WATT MP3 PLAYER" etc. And then I had to turn to section nine of my extended warranty plan and read them that, in fact, it does cover all FACTORY installed CD/Cassete players, radios, amplifiers, and speakers. They pissed me off so bad I just told them to **** off instead.
