Like an earlier poster in this thread, I'm a home stereo hobbyist. I listen primarily to high-end vinyl and tubes, and I'm very picky. I found the stock HU to be better than expected but still substandard. The Kenwood DDX917WS is far, far superior in sound quality, even via Bluetooth. It is so good that I have not even gotten around to installing the OEM Audio + system yet! Maybe this spring.....
Thanks for all the info. Yes, it looks like they shipped the HU to some people and had some agreement issues. Now they do not send it but they send the harness. Havent get the car yet, waiting for a possible job change and move from Boston to Mineola NY. I am not sure whether it is better to get the car here or there (Have to ask the community what to do about this ) Anyway, I am searching for everything now to order all together
