has anyone in here bought the dash kit to allow you to install a double din head unit?? I'm thinkin about putting a kenwood dvd player in its place and am wondering if that will cause any problems with the blue tooth features? Also where is the best place to get the new kit? TIA

 

Several of us have installed DD head units, but I don't think anyone has put one in an '06.

I don't know where the bluetooth circuitry is in an '06. If it's in the head unit, that would make it more difficult... you might have to hide the old head unit under the dash... or...

 

good luck with that.
dont kno wmuch about how the bluetooth is integrated with the radio in the new cars but i have the dd kit with a kenwood headunit as well as gilley.

 

if you want to meet up and check mine out sometime just let me know sincei see you are in the tampa area. im goin down to the track tomrrow night if you want to join

 

Daniel you say you are going to the track which track?? Are you talking about Friday night are Thursday night. I would really like to take a look at the DD before I order mine.
Thanks Andy

 

I got my DD kit from Grubbs. http://www.grubbsperformance.com/Mer...doubledinCoupe

You need the DD finisher and the AC controller.

I don't know about the OEM Bluetooth, but Kenwood has a Bluetooth hands-free unit coming out soon that you can add to your new head unit. It's KCA-BT100. It's $199 from Crutchfield. http://www.crutchfield.com/S-c3jnSsP...100&i=113BT100 So you wouldn't need the OEM Bluetooth.

I'm thinking about getting this for my audio system.

 

goin tonight down to bradenton motorsports park
here is the link for the info.

its off state road 64 east of 75

 

great find sean
whens it coming out i have been looking and wanting it forever.
by the way your link doesnt go to the bluetooth unit

 

It's supposed to come out this week or next. You can pre-order them on Ebay for about $160.

The link should be fixed now.

yeh its fixed
but does kenwood make and adapter to have more of those kind of inputs. mine only has one and im using that for the sirius and cd changer. the sirius has and input to accept the cd changer as a slave device so i can use both.

the only think i dont like about kenwood is their damn site you cant find info on any past parts even if you have the exact part number. its such a pain to navigate

 

thats great news sean, i've also been waiting for this to come out

 

now that hd unit they have looks intereting
what is all this new hd radio about anyone know?

 

That's awesome. Why couldn't eclipse make a bluetooth interface?

 

Exactly... Bluetooth would be worth upgrading for...

 

Dan, according to the description on the Crutchfield page:
» Bluetooth® interface adapter for Kenwood stereos
» offers wireless connection between Kenwood car stereo and Bluetooth-compatible cell phone
» send and receive calls with the stereo's controls
» pass-through port lets you keep your Kenwood CD changer
» handles up to five different phones

So it looks like you can pass the changer and sirius through the Bluetooth unit. I have the same issue as you.

HD Radio seems to be a gimmick to compete with satellite radio and CD's.
