IF you install these double din radios that have bluetooth can you keep your stock bluetooth?

I wasnt able to use bluetooth when I installed my Kenwood DDX-8019...then again the aftermarket bluetooth I installed only works with certain model cell phones....those certain model cell phones are not even PDA's...didnt make since to me but whatever. good luck and hope it works out.

I have the same exact question... I want to upgrade my stereo to the "double din" but I don't want to lose the stock bluetooth. I was wondering if you have found a solution for this problem yet?

you replace the stereo, you lose the stock bluetooth. most aftermarket bluetooth systems are better than the stock POS anyways.

Usually you must purchase an external unit by the same manufacture to do bluetooth through the new double din. If the unit is ipod/sat/hd/bluetooth ready, you must add the parts you want to work. Having the parts work through the unit is nice because of intergration and ease of use. Also keeps the car clean of unneeded extra ***** and switches. Just understand what 'Ready' means. I was born food ready, but did not come outta my mother with a sandwich in my hand.
