[QUOTE="BodegaBay, post: 2378123, member: 560141"] Glad to be of help. By the way, I know there are much more powerful units such as the Pioneer, Alpine, and Eclipse. Yes they may have all that (I myself owned and used an Alpine W200 + DVD Nav unit) but IMO, the Garmin's User Interface wins hands down. It's simplicity at it's best. And, all those other units require you to connect their GPS to your vehicle's VSS (vehicle speed sensor) wire to calculate ETA and such. I think that's so unecessary in today's advancing GPS technology. The Garmin (and any other good portable units such as TomTom) has built in algorithm that eerily gives accurate ETA readings. You've already use the c330, so it's a natural extension to go with the Kenwood + Garmin combo. BTW, I believe the Kenwood p-brake defeat is just wiring the p-brake wire to ground. As always, follow your local and federal law regarding such matter. Good luck and have fun. [/QUOTE]
