Finally got around to getting my new headunit installed. Bought it a few months ago, and due to health issues, decided to swallow my pride and have a pro the install. Nothing like sitting around for hours waiting for this to be ready.
Parts used:
Kenwood DDX9707S headunit
Metra 99-7516B dash kit
Axxess AXBUCHMZ6V reverse camera retention
Pac-Audio RP4-MZ11 radio harness/interface
iDatalink Maestro ADS-MRR radio interface
Doing it with these parts retains all the OE functions lost when removing the factory headunit. The Maestro can be left out, as its only roll is to display the gauges.
All in all I like it. Still messing with the million settings.
The gauges are cool, but won't display transmission temp, which I like to monitor. Still deciding whether to go back to my bluetooth dongle/iPhone/OBD Fusion display or not.
I have to run the microphone up to the stock location and graft it into place, and make a mount for the 3mm audio and 2nd USB plugs. Will post all that whenever those get done.
