I would love to have one of these, however it is just asking to be stolen for those who have to park outside...

Kenwood's own site says its a 6.1 inch

as they say, "size matters." Sorry for the typo... I corrected it!

As for begging to be stolen, any would-be thieves would have to get through other "deterrents" I have before even touching my stereo. I feel pretty secure with it!

Hafa!
No, most cars are double din OEM. Most cars when dingle din s are installed look terrible and they usually have to have some lame cubby hole built into the face plate to make up for the empty space... thats why single dins always look kind of hokey. I use the Pioneer Avic D3 in my Audi A4 Avant and the thing worx sexy time with my iphone and my ipod etc.... If this thing came with discless nav and customizable coloring (to make it look more OEM) then i would get it in a heart beat.

BTW, i just joined this to reply to this thread and saw you were Chamorro!!!! Awesome!

Not to steal the thread, but the Kenwood has both discless nav and customizable coloring.

Way to read my first sentence and misinterpret it. Where did I say Alpine makes crap? I said this specific model LOOKS. I got an Alpine deck, 4 alpine speakers, alpine type r subwoofer, alpine m500 amp and alpine RCA cables...Why would I have that in my car is I thought alpine is crap?

There's nothing really special about this deck. As other stated if you want all the options you will have to pay extra and that tiny screen and those giants buttons on the side are not helping at all. Stick with a big touch screen.

I don't understand this "I said this specific model LOOKS."
I was merely stating that Alpine always makes quality products. Quality should be a step before features. Cause features without proper functionality aren't really features.

He said it 'looks' like crap, not crappy made. Jeez, learn how to read. Makes you look dumb, calling him disreputable and all.

I would get this if the price drops
