Great In-Dash

I totally recommend this In-Dash. It is everything I expected and more! I had it installed in my 01' lincoln ls, and let me just say it looks as if this was the original system. Everything is great so far w/ this system, I 've had to play w/for about a full week now. It's pretty responsive, the colors on the screen is definitely bright and HD quality and doesn't have that dull look that I see from some of my friends systems. What I really like about it and one of the strong buying points for me was the built in Garmin gps. It works flawlessly. And so does the voice command. My only complaint is that I wish It allowed me to use my Android phone w/Pandora like some of the new Sony systems. But I suppose I will just buy an itouch or iPad. And another big plus as always w/ most Kenwood systems is that the bypass was pretty simple.

Kenwood top end head unit

I love this head unit. It is a little slow, but it doesnt really bother me much. I am really disappointed that it doesnt support Android Pandora like it does iPhone Pandora. Still has a few glitches, not bad though.

voice command!

awesome because it is one of the very few with voice activated gps. installed in 2010 accord, it is very hard to find a reasonably priced matching color install kit so do your homework
