Due to the lack of Ipod capabilities, no blue-tooth, no USB ports and non user friendly Nav system in my 65, I'm considering having a Kenwood installed. Would this void my factory warranty for anything other than the Radio/Nav? Are there multiple things tied into the system??....ie, ESP or ABC etc??? Just curious if any of you have done this and what was involved? I can't friggin stand my OEM radio/nav and am desperately wanting to replace it.

Thanks in advance for any input-

Get the Itronic and you will have bluetooth and Ipod control like it came from the factory. I just did the install and am happy with it so far.

For warranty, I think that if you totally replace the factory radio you may have issues depending on dealer.

Thanks, but I'm also looking for a better Nav system. My $300 Garmin is 10x better than the OEM one, IMO.

dont know about warranty issues. but the DNX line from kenwood is amazing, you would love any model. i got the 5120 because i got a good deal and i like having a volume knob. garmin navigation is the best and thats what they use on all of these units. every feature imaginable too; speak to call bluetooth, ipod, usb, dvd, you can do it all.

Yea, the nav system is lacking a bit, I wrestled with the thought of getting an LS 460 instead just because the navi was superior.

Maybe a better option than ruining your warranty is to use the Garmin and itronics and leave the stock HU alone. Tearing out the stock head unit seems a bit extreme to me for upgrading to better navi system.

That's exactly what my installer told me and exactly why I want one
