Thats a steal

Is the built in screen capable of playing DVDs?

If its double din then it should fit fine, can you test fit one at best buy?

Oh and can you get more than one

it is a double din, but when i looked on crutchfield it said it wouldnt fit, so i was thinking maybe depth. yeah, i love BB cuz i get everythiung at cost, but unfortunatly i have gotten too much stuff for friends already that im close to not even being allowed to get my own. but if somehow i can get it, or if i can convice someone else here to let me use their discount to get another one ill let u know. 650 is an amazing price fo it when its gonna msrp at 1100. BB retails it for 999 though so come shop here everyone and make me some money, lol

edit: oh yeah i forgot, yeah it is capable or playing DVDs as well

Cool I'll get some pics tomorrow or this weekend hopefully.

The cage would not slide into the stock radio holder... (The peice a dash kit fastens to.) So I used a dremel and cut away at the top and bottom, only about 1/4" each. The frame of this peice is almost a perfect fit for the most part but the areas that needed to be cut seemed more like spacers... Not needed at all. Almost as if the Honda double din setup was slightly shorter. The sides were a perfect fit and I had no trouble with depth. Even with my component speaker crossovers back there. I installed the Full Speed iPod cable into my center console. I have a 92 lude with the big console so I can leave the iPod connected and locked up.

The unit is very clean and it looks like it was born to be there... The only thing is it makes the rest of my dash feel ancient... Now I really wanna do the brighter blue LED dash mod.... That will be clean!

all i did on my kenwood unit was drill holes ont he side of the radio braket and use the existing pre-drilled iso-mount holes on the side of the unit. then i used a sleeve as a spacer on both sides...
