I got it a couple years ago its a higher end kenwood one with bluetooth and hd radio. However I'm actually gonna upgrade mine to the new kenwood excelon double din radio with wireless apple carplay. https://www.crutchfield.com/p_113DDX9906/Kenwood-Excelon-DDX9906XR.html

As far as my car its a 1999 with dash and door speakers. I added in rear speakers at the same time but the stock amp was only 4 channel so the rear speakers are amplified by the head unit.
