this has been discussed many times on here, the fact that you loose the readout in the dis puts many people off, here's my old car,

the fascia adaptor never sits perfect, and beacuse of the limited depth behind the stereo, some are a pain in the ass to push back properly!

Why don't you like Kenwood?
The surrounds need to be plastic dipped.

Wasn't the 9960 the one with the glitch on the DVD player?

I like Kenwood stuff, had mostly Kenwood since my metro days, stereo was worth more than the car!

Doesn't 'live concert DVD" mean sextape in swinger speak? Ha, that'd be a riot driving around with that noise.

That's the last time I ask you to keep a secret.

Now, off topic here. The username thread, Mikefish is THE fisherman. Where is o cryptic one? Wonder if her gearbox has killed her?
