Finished Kenwood HU Install!
Sorry mods for the cross-post.
Thanks again to Ron (Streeteffectz) who went above and beyond what I expected for customer service. This is using the Double Din custom Metra kit.
I did have to trim the Metra kit slightly with my Dremel to make things fit. But in the end, it looks totally stock looking!
Here are pics:
The flash saturates the pics BUT I can assure you that the color matches very very closely to stock.

Thanks for the comment guys. I keep looking at just admiring how well it flows with the dash. The the screen is nice and flush, color is perfect and the screen opens perfectly. PERFECT!

I have no stock sub, so I didn't run into that problem. But I heard you TL guys lose the sub.
I want to try to figure out the NAVI VOICE because I would like to still have that feature. Any suggestions on how to fix that?

I have done it into systems where people have aftermarket amps and all where I split the inputs into the amps with relays and retain the mute functions and all

Wouldn't want a computer speaker poking out my car interior

You could do it through the stock speakers, but you'll need to do the same thing I was saying above - put a relay between the left and right speakers leads - so basically cut the leads between the radio harness and the car harness, put in the relays and have the mute wire from the navi trigger the relays - this way the front two speakers will cut off and pipe in the navi voice.

This might be a dumb question, but do you lose the steering wheel controls with that headunit?
btw that looks sweet how long did the install take?

Alot of my customers have purchased the DDX7015 and have loved them, however I personally have held out for the DDX8017 which has SRS WOW and SRS Circle Surround Automotive (this link explains) . None the less props on the metra kit and clean looking install.
