Topic: The New Kenwood DNX9960.. The Nav to have.... Now with $150.00 rebate

Well my main concern is that in my reading I've seen requirements for an extra harness to make On*, XM and the door chimes all work. Those extra harnesses cost up to $150 each! So in addition to forking out the $1000+ on the unit itself, the extra harnesses and add-ons add another $350 easy.  Of course, that's IF I can find a stereo that fits. Some sites I have seen (Crutchfield, Best Buy) say that not all double din stereo's will fit in the 07. I would really be upset if I purchased the unit online only to find out that it didn't fit.

I got a big hammer and a couple of different saws. We can make it fit.    Scott, you have any quality stereo shops in your area? I'd stop by one of them and ask them.

Yea OBB...I talked to Century 2000 in Akron, one of the most reputable places in the area and they gave me a quote for ~1200 for everything (unit, install, extra harness for On* and door chimes, etc).  Not sure of the exact unit but they said that they had a 'couple' that would work for the 2007.  I'll think about heading up there sometime next week or so.  Was going to try and do this myself, but with all the extra harnesses and crap...thinking it might by easier to let the pro's handle it.

Something to think about as far as the harness(s). It may just turn a new head unit into a plug and play ordeal. That would save some install dollars and I haven't got my hands on a 2nd generation yet to help mod.   beer is cheaper than labor.

Other thing about paying them to do it is it'll come with a warranty vs buying a unit online and having to ship it back if something goes bad with it.

Kind of a toss up on this one.
