Default New PICs!!! Wheels and Radio

Hopefully these pics are better. I got attacked last time because the pics were poor. Had more time to get better ones this time.

Having had some time to play with the radio DVD IPod and Nav system I would like to say it is awsome. This Kenwood DDX 6019 system beats the Eclipes and the Avic-d1. It uses the new Garmin Nav interface which is simple to use and the screen layout is awsome. The Ipod interface lists your play list and then displays song title while playing. DVD can be played while driving in the same unit. Also you can play DVDs or CD and use the NAV. I found several systems out there that would only let you use NAV or CD not both together, I thought that was very strange. Only problem is I now need to add an AMP and new speakers. The sound quality is good but not any better than the factory unit. Will have to work on that.

Hope everyone enjoys.

P.S. I paid $1699.00 for the Radio and NAV, and 199.00 for the IPod interface. Wheels were $1799.00 installed.

Very nice!

But I have a question, does your aftermarket nav flip horizontal so you have access to the CD player?

3 questions does the navi have a birds eye view option when viewing map at closer ranges? If so can you snap a pic' or 2?
How big is that screen 6 1/2" or 7"? or?

Used a Met GM kit to convert the outputs. I have a base car with no Bose so the install was very easy. Only took two hours to install and I did it myself.

The screen is 7" and the screen flips open. It has three views but not sure about the birds I view. Will check and take PIC.
