Good luck with that unit..

I always had good luck with Kenwood, I have a DNX8120 in my Toyota Tacoma so I stayed with Kenwood. HD Radio, Garmin GPS, Backup cam
Garmin GPS is one of the best in my opinion.

If you contemplate returning that unit, here's a link to the unit I purchased.
Best price I found on the web $625 free shipping and no tax, normally $849 here in Cali.
This unit rocks, iPhone power via cable, HD radio built in, and Pandora

I may save up another four hundred dollars for the kenwood. We shall see.

As for the DIY part. It was really straightforward plug and play. If I can do it, ANYBODY can.

The system, although cheap and full of quirks, is still usable. And it does update the look of the car a fair amount. When I finish my faceplate and have everything re-assembled, I will take some pictures.

I do highly recommend the install kit by Eurospeed that you see on e-bay. It may be another $160, but they have some really convenient stuff in there. The cage is solid, and the wiring harnesses fit super easy.

I have the same system and had no problems with the unit. The sound is great with the BOSE sound system. I had to by pass the BOSE MOST amp, but it sounds better. I may by a new amp later but I really don't need one. I also got the euro kit and made a few modifications and it fits now. The NAVI works good also, I put the GPS antenna under the alarm cover in the dash where it cant be seen.

You just trimmed the bottom to make it a little larger right?

I'm starting to think I got a faulty unit since my GPS is ass
