Default 06 Crappy Nav/bose system

I had a 05 with A Kenwood head unit that had a really good sound. Everything was clear and the bass hit hard. I just bought this 06 with the stock nav head unit and it sounds like ****. You can't tune it to sound worth a crap. Will a dang head unit make that much difference?? I don't think anything else was done to the 05.

I just installed a new Double Din in my 08 that came with factory nav and bose. The difference was night and day and that's with a cheap Jensen unit.

Which unit did you buy??? Did you splice the wires or buy a adaptor harness.

yes
just a head unit change will make a huge difference.
The Jensen model with nav could be the new 7021. Package deal on this one we sell for 479.99.
Great unit for the money.

I bought the 7022 and used an adapter harness. Might be interested in selling it though. It doesn't work with my Blackberry Everything else about it is great! Sound is night a day better.

PM me if you are interested!

7021 is this years model
7022 is last years model

yes I know it doesn't make sense why they would go back a number for the newer model but that's what they did

Hey Yip, both are still current.

The 7022 adds 8 preset Eq's and the big thing being a HDMI input.
With the HDMI input you can actually add a DMH25J and mirror whats
on your phone wirelessly.
