<b>Head Unit:</b> Kenwood DDX7015 double din touch screen.
<b>Nav Unit (DVD based):</b> Kenwood KNA4100
<b>Ipod hookup:</b> Ipod 4th gen/40gb + Dension Icelink
<b>Dash Kit:</b> Metra from autotoys.com
<b>Total Parts &amp; Labor (excluding Ipod,Icelink):</b> $2200


I did hire an installer for the installation, too chicken to mess around with the electronics .

<b>Ipod + Icelink:</b>
Initially, I was gonna put the ipod in the sunglass holder bin thinking that the new head unit would have full control on the ipod. That's not the case, it can only do skip forward, previous and volume adjustment and no display whatsoever of track, id3 tag, artist, playlist etc... I'm disappointed because of how expensive the Icelink is for such a limited functionality.
The Ipod+Icelink combo is not fully mounted yet, using some velcro for now, hence the icelink wire sticking out of the sunglass holder in the pics below.
