Kennedy Hi Fi on Denison and Esna Park. They are pretty good. Look for Allan.

Hey Jason,
No I'm getting a Kenwood DDX 7019. I wanted the USB direct control so as we move forward to more of that type of media I'm ready.

I must add though Arlindo at Audio Illusion is providing service like no where else that I have experienced. He new I needed my car for the show this Sat and needed to pick it up by noon Fri for a dyno so Arlindo has been working through the night to get this complete for me. He called me at 11pm last night to go over a few things and said he would be at the shop working into the wee hours of the morning to get my car ready.

It's like the guys on TV doing whatever it takes to get the cars done.
I cant wait to pick it up to see and hear it.

Its not hard...folllow the DYI steps here, basically remove the old stereo, hook up a wiring harness and install the new one.

It looks really overwelming at first but you will see once you have the dash apart and the deck out with the wiring harness it is pretty much plug and play.

If you bring it to an installer they will charge you plus take your car for most of the day. Why pay someone 100 bucks when you can save the money.

Just go pick up a wiring harness and dash kit.
