[QUOTE="Chromatic, post: 8220603, member: 659121"] Nice to know it has High pass.. . And.. $335.. for built in blue tooth.. can't beat that by much even online. Kenwood brand, I trust.. Is likely more hardy than Pioneer. And yes.. Analog dials for controls on the left hand side.. that is something I missed with the Pioneer that was built for the most screen real-estate possible. Sort of combining best of both worlds here. I don't know bestbuy's "install hours".. I guess they install open to close. Hope I can get in there pick one out and they can immediately put it in , which shouldn't take anyone more than 30minutes-45mins at most. Again, the reason for the bestbuy install (if I go with it).. is just 'warranty'.. and if something does fry.. etc.. It's warranted from them installing it.. So I just drive back up there and they will put a brand new one in no questions asked. Plus I'm just absolutely sick (right now) of installation work. I'll need a few weeks to recover. At the moment it's worth the $50 or $99 (depends on headunit I guess).. fee to install it. I wouldn't let best buy install my speakers, wire the car, sub, amp etc.. But I'll let them put in a headunit. I don't see any harm in that. Further.. I have done all the work.. All they have to do is remove 6 screws.. one easy to pop off panel.. pull old one out.. and put new one in .. plug in 3 sets of rca's,.. the wiring harness, the satellite radio plug,.. antenna plug.. and so on. Takes a few seconds to "wire it up".. they can feel free to double check that out of course. But again,.. all I did was splice into remote wire, and front speaker outs behind headunit.. I didn't touch power, ground, and other such wires. So the only explanation I can possibly come up with for this thing dieing on me is me.. not thinking about the headunit,.. banging on the sides of that console getting the "knee pad" piece to go into place. I'm going to head over to bestbuy in 30-45minutes now that it's on my mind. If they can't squeeze me in.. Hrmm.. I still want it installed by someone with a warranty.. so maybe I get it today and bring it back tom. for install.
