Upgrade to aftermarket Kenwood KVT-819DVD

[shleppy]

Hello - Is anyone aware of options to utilize an old Kenwood system that uses a data cable from head unit to trunk...ala a hideaway unit with preouts. My KVT-819DVD head unit is kaputski and I am trying to avoid running new preamp from the front (now it is all sourced from the trunk). Are there new systems that utilize this same "h/u to brain in the trunk" scheme? The car is a 2001 BMW 530 (E39) which is a great car that I'm keeping forever but I would like to upgrade to a more "modern" system.
Thanks
