Well, ladies and gentlemen, here's your chance to grab a less than 3 month old Kenwood eXcelon 25th Anniversary XXV-01D head unit (which is under valid warranty from Crutchfield until 12.23.07) for a song!
No, no, no....I haven't jumped ship and turned my back on my beloved eXcelon....here's the deal:
I took my car to Performance Car Wash & Lube Center here in my hometown to get my car washed and whatnot. Not only did they do a piss-poor job washing my car (it wasn't vacuumed well and my windows were streaky when they were "finished") but they managed to scratch the faceplate to my deck while my car was in their possession. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/mad.gif.c18f003ab0ef8a0d9c27ca78d77a6392.gif
Some Joe Manager-type guy came and talked to me as I was beginning to raise 9 kinds of hell about my stereo being screwed up and quickly pointed out some lame sign that stated "We cannot be held responsible for damage to any non-OEM equipment."
Sometimes it is handy to have an attorney for a boss and after a hasty phonecall to him Joe Manager was singing a different tune. It was relayed to me that Joe Manager's conversation with my boss contained references to factory navigation systems in some cars listing for many thousands of dollars and the inability in the state of Louisiana to sign away your rights to something that has not occurred yet. Long story short arrangements were made for my XXV-01D to be replaced.
So! I have a mechanically perfect yet cosmetically flawed eXcelon XXV-01D for sale. It is still installed in my car currently but if someone would like to buy it it would be literally a matter of minutes to swap this one out with the BNIB replacement sitting in my closet.
Problems with this unit:
Faceplate is scratched in spots on the display portion of the face as well as in the chrome finish across the bottom. In certain lighting you don't notice the scratches at all. In others they are rather noticeable. They obviously do not photograph well but I did try:
5v preouts
Internal amp has never been powered. Before the unit was ever turned on the first time the internal amp was defeated via the Standby menu.
4 band parmetric EQ
Time alignment
SRS WOW processing
Customizeable full-color OEL display
.mp3, .wma, .aac, and .mcd (this last being a Kenwood proprietary compressed music format....applicable software included) playback
Etc etc etc.....
$215 + actual shipping, FIRM. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
PayPal gladly accepted with the addition of 3% of total cost for their fees ~ sorry, guys...
