Kenwood DDX920WDABS

Now that it's 2020 (yuck!..), I was wondering if Kenwood continued their DDX9{YY}WS series of 200mm head units, and indeed there's some info on DDX920WS online:
http://www.albanycarstereo.com.au/sh...t/kw-ddx920ws/
Highlights:
  • 200mm Perfect Fit for most toyota’s 2003+ (and BRZ with trim pieces like this)
  • Wireless Apple CarPlay (Supported devices)
  • [strike]Wireless Android Auto (Supported devices)[/strike]

I personally love my DDX918WS, and a lot of folks enjoy their DDX917WS and DDX919WS.

The downsides are that these only seem to be available in/from Australia (I got mine from Amazon in the US though) and they are pricey (but work so well I think it's worth it).

Looks like the correct product name is DDX920WDABS
https://www.kenwood.com/au/car/visua...n/ddx920wdabs/
... and it doesn't have wireless Android Auto

I have the 19'.

What's new? Not looking to upgrade, but if it is the same then maybe last year's models would be worth searching for to save some $$$ for anyone who is in the market.

Bless thee and ye family my son. Did not realize that. Much more reasonable, but still on the high side.

Like I said, there might be old models with identical features that are discounted.
