I put Kenwood DNX9140 to my car ...If you have fiber optic connection (base on model, I think you have), you have to re-wire speakers and many other things. I have chosen simpler solution in case I want sell car and keep my aftermarket unit. I bought new amplifier JBL and put next to original. If I want to sell car, I can take my unit and amplifier and put back COMMAND - no extra work ...It cost me extra 700 $ but I got better sound as well.
Also, you have to buy some extra parts (adapter for unit along with plastic mask to close hole) and they are available in Europe only.

Let me know if you have additional questions ...



With new unit, I got video in motion, Garmin maps, BT,....
