Kenwood 9140
What all needs to be changed to make this fit? Bezel? Will it have any issues like the stock navi trying to play MP3? Just looking for the easiest install possible? Thanks.

You can learn a lot about stereo mods by checking the 'stickys' at the top of this forum section.
You cannot just replace your stock head unit with the Kenwood without getting several peripheral items to make everything work together, including steering wheel controls and such. Yes you will need an adapter plate for around the Kenwood to make it work with your center console, as you would with almost any HU swap.

This may get you started. It's not inexpensive to swap out so make sure it's worth it.
