Thanks Pressman. Scube was asking on my behalf. I went to Ultra Auto Sound this week but found their price high for the install. Taxes in it was a little over $2600. Is that in the ball park of what you paid?

AudioMotion in Ottawa (where the car is now) quoted me ~$2230. To do the install of the Kenwood DNX771HD. Has anyone ever dealt with them? If I dealt with them the install could be done when I picked up the car...

This is what I did. Not as simple as it sounds, but Dennis has great prices.

I have used a shop in Oakville called Radioactive that does very good work.

I just did it at Futureshop, the guy clearly knew what he was doing and I oversaw the whole process.

I'm thinking I'll just get the unit from DoubleDmods. That way I know what I'm getting and its what I want.

I did try future shop but there selection of Kenwood decks doesn't include any of the higher end NAV units.

this sounds like the way to go, did your unit have blue tooth for phones built in?

I ordered my radio today. Got the Kenwood DNX891HD kit from Dennis and Double D Mods. Dennis is great he walked through all the options with me and set me up with everything I needed. Now I just have to wait for the delivery.

Thanks everyone for the recommendations.

Should be an awesome setup, did you order the back up camera also?

Yes. Dennis recommended the Pyle camera. I originally wanted the lower end Kenwood cam. I was skeptical because it is the cheapest one but Dennis vouched for the quality. It also adds the "parking lines" which you have to move to the more expensive Kenwood camera for.
