Default Double D Mods Delivers Again!!!

Just got finished Installing the Kenwood DDX418/Navigation Kit that I purchased from Dennis at Double D Mods. I have to say, the Double Din Bezel mod looks factory. I am extreemly pleased with the fit and finish. Top quality work!! I asked Dennis to pre-wire the system for me so installation was a breeze. I now have Navigation, Hands free Bluetooth, Ipod/Iphone, DVD and more audio features than I will ever need.

Thank you Dennis for the great deal and awesome customer service!!!

He are a few pics of my upgraded cockpit

Wow, that really looks great . That's the same one I'll be buying from Dennis. I'll also ask him to pre-wire mine to keep things simple on this end

That does look great. Too bad the C5s didn't come from the factory that way. I'm waiting on some stuff from Dennis too.

Looks
I did the same thing, but went with a Pioneer 930BT instead. Very happy with mine.
Did you just do the head or the whole sound system?
I replaced everything and added a sub. Dennis supplied it all, and man what a difference.

Just the Head unit and Navigation module. I didn't realize how shity the stock stereo sounds until I heard the Kenwood.... Day and night difference even with the stock bose speakers

Add a subwoofer enclosure and a Kicker sub from Dennis to your system, and you would be more blown away with the difference. Glad you are happy !

I had a similar good experience with Double D - in addition to modifying to fit a Pioneer nav unit, he converted the ash tray into a recessed box to hold CD cases. Then it got Carbon Fiber treatment. Looks and fits great.

I am really enjoying the Bluetooth hands free phone. I routed the mic all the way up the A piller and behind the hood liner mounted above the rear view mirror. You wouldn't even know it is there unless I told you. It is the ideal placement for voice quality. Everyone I talk to on the phone say I sound crystal clear!!!

Ipod features are cool too. Especially Pandora Radio. I have a Jailbroken Iphone 4 with the skip/no advertisement app which is way cool. I can surf through all my favorite artists with no skip limits or interuptions!
