It's hard to beat Garmin for navigation, which makes the Kenwood appealing, but I went a different route for my 2007 Nav (with Bose) and am very pleased. The local Best Buy offered to install it all for $100 (plus $80 to modify the dash trim kit for my oversized unit), which I discovered only after doing it all myself! They didn't seem to care where the parts were purchased, presenting an opportunity to support forum vendors such as DD. Good luck!
