Default radio gone crazy

I have a 05 with Bose, Nav unit in it. Well the radio started acting strange. The face plate would come out and go back in for no reason. The cd changer would eject the dvd disc or both at the same time. The radio cd changer Xm nothing works.

Took it to the dealer and they put iit on the computer and said the radio was gone. For 1500 dollars he can get me a rebuilt one.

I am looking at a Kenwood DNX6190HD. Is this a good replacement for what I have.

Any thought would be helpful.

1- dash kit
1- harness
1- antenna adapter
899.99 shipped and a 100.00 mail in rebate

Aftermarket is the way to go

If you can't handle the install come on down to Augusta, HU only shouldn't take a few hours.
