Your car is looking great Rick! All very tasteful mods. It's so much fun personalizing these great cars!

How do you like the Kenwood head unit? Which model did you install?

I LOVE my 5160 unit, I've been very partial to Garmin Nav features so it's the main reason I love it. I also like the USB cable from the unit so I can insert my USB flash drives and leave in the ashtray compartment so no sees my music. I've had some other Nav units over the years, but have just become so accustomed to Garmin I don't want to relearn.

I think the 5160's are no longer available since Kenwood has released newer models, but I'd still go Kenwood/Garmin with the new models.

Yep, Dennis is again teasing us with the rebate sales for the Kenwood units. I am considering either the DNX 6980 (which looks like your 5160 unit) or the top-of-the line 9980. I like the volume **** and the front CD/DVD access of the 6980 vs. the flip out motorized screen of the 9980, however the 9980 has some other features that are pretty cool.

Decisions, decisions...

I've seen plenty of flip out screens and don't want the worry of additional problems they can encounter.
