You are saying you guys can't find something better for that price?

Most of the cost is probably in the navigation system, which, if you us AA or ACP, then is really not necessary.

The Kenwood unit I have is 200mm, is capacitive touch, has an HD screen, has bluetooth ACP/AA and/or wired, is plug and play, has a CD/DVD player (DVD doesn't work unless you are from the right time zone), has the ability to integrate the Kenwood dash cams to the HU interface, can run multiple other sensors and back up cameras, is custimizable for sound and appearance, can integrated OEM steering wheel controls and antenna and USBs, etc, etc.

I mean, if you want to spend three times the price then it is your prerogative.

While I appreciate your concern for my wallet the new radio can be purchased for $724 which last I checked is about the same as the Kenwood radio you have mentioned. The Pioneer you showed can be had for less but ultimately both of those radios have to be ordered from outside the US through what I would consider non-standard sources. There are tons of people with great success stories using the Kenwood and the Pioneer you have shown both on this forum and the FJ Cruiser forum (same silly 200mm opening) but I prefer to go with an OEM solution that has been through Toyota's testing standards.
