Aftermarket head unit

Hey all, I'm looking at replacing the stock head unit with something aftermarket. Looks like there is some cool touch screen stuff with bluetooth, ect.

Has anyone replaced their stock unit? Thoughts?

I have Kenwood Excelon DNX8120's in all of my vehicles and absolutely love them. They are older (2008).

I recently put a Kenwood into my moms RX350 and she loves it. I have even considered getting newer kenwood's due to the tech.

I have done car audio for 15+years and Kenwood has always been in my top 5 favorites
These are all Double Dins.

I'm pretty sure it's not possible to integrate them with the stock amp, although I could be wrong. Im just replacing everything...

the stock radio is too old school to be using, unless you only listen to am/fm and cd.

yeah the main reason for ripping mine out was the transition from CDs to iPod and flash media (SD cards,flash drives).
