$111 new on ebay. Will be hooked up thru the stock bose system until I can get factory grilles/mounts for the rear side pockets and a carpet to eliminate the hose. Just wondering if anyone has a good argument against this particular model. I need to get the double din unit out of there to relocate some guages.

Skeptical about hooking it up to the Bose system.

becuase it is a kenwood

No reason not too, it'll work fine and sound decent ... at least Kenwood stuff doesn't look nearly as horrible as it did a couple years ago. 3-4 year old Kenwood untils looked like a bad acid trip.

I never thought Kenwood's were the most user friendly. Alpine or Pioneer is what I would suggest. You will need to get the adapter for bypassing the BOSE stuff...I think. I had a buddy that had to do that with his Maxima.

my thoughts exactly
