Looks great
What type of stereo system have you got in the car
If you don't like wires everywhere, you could put a USB power socket point in the compartment between the seats

It's a relatively high end Kenwood sat nav thing, (factory reconditioned, so half price, £500).Andy1000 wrote:What type of stereo system have you got in the car
It's pretty decent but takes an eternity to initialise, can be buggy as well. I think some of the Ludes on here have better solutions to fill the double din?
Very few independent reviews of aftermarket sat nav units, so I took a gamble on Kenwood's rep.
@simonc - cheers, really appreciate the Lude love

Your car stereo definitely makes my alpine unit look out of date.
My only priority at the time was to have bluetooth
Not sure if you could live with the leads for my dab radio that I installed
The lighter you have just removed is in better nick than mine

@andy1000 - like the look of the Alpine!
The Kenwood is connected to a USB drive that should have my music collection on, but, the Kenwood is a pain as I need to re tag files so it plays albums in the right order, still not got round to retagging files. Also it doesn't do lossless.
The integrated Garmin Satnav is great.
Worth keeping an eye on eBay for exdem factory reconditioned stuff if you are looking but don't fancy 1k prices!
Sound wise it isn't bad, control of crossover frequencies front and rear and controls the sub, full.eq control and some gimmick sound enhancement algorithms. Musically Alpine or Pioneer are arguably more musical? Might be being unfair to Kenwood?
You can never really demo a unit like you might home hi-fi, (though speakers are what I believe contribute most to the tone of a system).
If you think of an upgrade I'd recommend a unit with reverse cam. Prelude's have big arses and I've reversed and hurt my arse before!
