Default Kenwood DNX690HD install Progress..pics

Just thought I would share my progress so far...Started with door lock relay replacement...works great now..Still waiting on Stealth Sub and Radio Bezel...Taking my time..running wires real nice and neat..completely concealed...this has been alot of work so far...Radio paired with my I-phone 4 nicely..streams music..GPS and XM antennas work very well mounted rite at the base of the waterfall underneath trim.
had to fabricate mounting plates for the rear speakers to mount securely..and underneath stock trim without pushing on tweeter..also magnet was too big..had to move speaker back about a half an inch..I could go on and on....Tom

Hey John...I went Hi-end with everything BUT the camera. I went with the $50 Pyle camera from DD mods..It is nowhere near the quality of the stock camera in my 2011 Lariat Limited..When in the dark it is real bad..I would definitely not recommend that one...The other cameras Dennis had were I think $150 to $200
seems a lot for a rear view camera...let me know what you decide to go with and how it works...Tom
