Default Finished my install..Pics

First of all..Thanks to Dennis and everyone at DD Mods for all their help. The Radio Bezel was last to arrive..BUT, well worth the wait...it is PERFECT..could not be more impressed!!! I installed Kenwood DNX690HD, Kenwood XR900/5 amp, Focal 165KR component, PC130 5.25 speakers, Focal P25DB 10" stealth sub, Pyle rear camera. Took my time and ran all the wires real nice and concealed. The only thing I would change if I could would be a better rear view camera. The speakers are hidden under stock Bose trim. Changed the Bezel, shifter boot, Em brake boots to Light Oak from Black. added LLoyds Mats.. So here are my finished install pics...( you can see the dirty work pics on my first post..Kenwood DNX690HD install progress..pics )...Thanks...Tom

that would look so sick if your interior was all black and the trunk carpet too. I can't decide where my amp needs to go. I don't like the behind the seat mounting. Pretty tight though. I need to talk with you for a few after you've had a good evaluation period on that head unit. I'm looking at it right now...I like how quick and responsive it is to touch commands, but I couldn't get it to bluetooth pair with my phone very quickly and easily at the store.

The BT setting was prob on OEM. Simple change of the setting and the phone should pair up with no issues.
I get 4 or 5 calls a week on phone not pairing on KEnwood and its always due the OEM setting

I have 28 DNX690 units instock
